I'm on the lookout for more diverse and inclusive voices in YA across all genres.

My favorite books last year were by authors like @RantingOwl @justinaireland @theames and @AshWrites.

And I'm DESPERATE to find a sci-fi genre blending masterpiece like @erin_bowman's Contagion.

Good morning! It's March 1st and I'm officially open to queries again at @PSLiterary!

Here's my #MSWL on my website, and I'm going to tweet a little bit about what I'm looking for... let's go. ericsmithrocks.com/blog/2019/01/3…

I get a lot of great queries from marginalized voices (thank you, keep them coming!!), and one gap I've noticed is characters with disabilities. Define that however you choose, but I want to see more of this kind of representation in kidlit, and on my list specifically. #MSWL

I do a lot of fantasy, but I also do a ton of contemporary, and I'd love to see more big-hook stories set in our world. If you want a great example of hooky, high-concept contemporary YA I love that we rep here @FolioJr: DUMPLIN' and TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE. #MSWL

As a colleague pointed out to me, you can find truth in tragedy, but you can also find truth in joy. I'd love to see YA and MG that find truth in joy. Give me your funny books, effervescent love stories, your joyous and triumphant journeys, adventures, relationships. #MSWL

Same. YA or adult. #MSWL

I’m going to put it out there again. I’d really love to see younger YA contemporary that focuses on young teens starting high school for the first time with all of the mixed up feelings that come along with them!

And as always, send me great MG of all genres! #mswl

I want to read an anthology of YA authors talking about their pets.

"I'm not sure the market exists for-"

Look I don't care, someone just collect everyone's stories about their dogs and cats and birbs and send it to me. #MSWL

#MSWL: Currently, I am specifically looking for YA rom-coms, funny MG, adult suspense, and high concept Women's Fiction.

My #MSWL profile is up, just in time for my #amquerying inbox to open on March 1. Check it out, #writersofcolor! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/leon…

Me reading a query that promises a YA thriller, blending humor and horror, from a POC, and comps brand new media, and shows engagement with the convo within contemporary teen lit. #MSWL

"Young Adult involving fringe science in a contemporary setting." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

Regularly scheduled call for sporty YA full of badass girl (identifying) athletes. Where are my Olivia Moultrie-esque protags? Gimme #MSWL

Went hiking this weekend at the creepy/cool ruins of the Cornish Estate in Cold Spring and #MSWL for this setting, let me tell you. There was a tragic romance! A huge fire! There’s gotta be a YA book in there somewhere.

Pst. This Friday I open up to queries at @PSLiterary again.

I really want to find more genre-blending literary fiction, diverse + inclusive YA, quirky non-fiction, and lots more.

The full #MSWL is here! bit.ly/2GG1M7r

Monday #mswl thoughts: I would love to find an epic YA paranormal series or a sweeping, action-packed, high concept YA sci-fi series (but not necessarily set in space).

#MSWL I'm dying over here about the shots meme. #YA
