(Still) watching the Prince of Egypt and man I would be deeply down for some of the cool-ass Old Testament stuff like the story of Esther, Judith beheading Holofernes, a romance with David and Jonathan... retold as commercial YA #mswl

I say I want a dark YA mystery, but I’ve never been able to pinpoint exactly what I want. Well, now I know. Read Two Can Keep A Secret by @writerkmc. Because that was awesome. And totally the kind of book I’m looking for. #MSWL

Still getting the occasional DM asking if I'm open to queries... and I am! :-D

Here's what I'm looking for:

Most genres of YA.
Genre blending literary fiction.
Accessible sci-fi and fantasy.
Memoir and essay collections.
Cookbooks.
You?

Sneak peak of my Research of Writing in YA/MG Fiction webinar. (When I say I’m looking for manuscripts that’ll teach me stuff, I’m on this level #MSWL)

#mswl for spring 2019! 🌸

*Contemp Fantasy in MG, YA, Adult

*Character driven SF in MG & Adult

*Female MC thrillers & suspense

*Jewish and LatinX folklore

*YA Contemp with a BIG hook

#MSWL A #YA Comedy where a Being 👽 from another planet tries to assimilate as a human teenager.

Think Third Rock from the Sun meets Strange Planet by @nathanwpyle meets Simon and the Homo Sapien Agenda by @beckyalbertalli

These are the books I love across MG (especially!) and also YA. #MSWL

As a huge astronomy buff myself, and in lieu of the first image of a black hole being released, I would love to get some more #YA and #MG submissions with characters who have a passion for fields in STEM. THE LAST TIME WE SAY GOODBYE is a perfect example of this #MSWL #amagenting

LRT: talk about some f/f/ YA romcom #MSWL goals, amirite?

I'm also looking for accessible historical fiction with a great hook. I'm a big rom-com fan (in teen + adult), but my bar is very high thanks to my brilliant authors, who are pubbing some of the best in the game (if I can just brag on them a bit!).

I'd love to find high concept women's fiction and general commercial fiction, as well as creative contemporary fantasy - stories grounded in our world but w/a magical twist (for teens or adults).

Would love to find a #MG or #YA novel that will make me cry! #MSWL @ManuscriptWList

Watched #ThePerfectDate yesterday and now I want a YA romcom based on a relationship where one person is paid for platonic lessons on how to not be awkward/how to talk on a date but then THEY fall in love. Like Hitch, but Will Smith and Kevin James fall in love instead #mswl

"YA version of the young members of the Leverage team (Hardison, Eliot, and Parker)! I love thieves for good." @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Idk how to make this YA but #mswl

#MSWL Please send me stories about learning how to lose (or handle rejection) with grace.

#MG especially, but also #PB and #YA.
