For whatever reason, I’m really craving some historical MG, YA, and Adult right now. Scotland history and mythology in the Jacobites time, Louis the XIV court intrigue, French Revolution YA, Spanish Civil War, House of Savoy unification of Italy, Russian Revolution, etc.. #MSWL

I'll be re-opening to queries on Sept. 3; here are some things I'd love to see in my inbox! #MSWL

-nonfiction, esp. MG, YA & prescriptive and platform-driven adult (not so much PB biographies)
-POC author/illustrators
-Native/First Nations creators/authors

I need what all that this song evokes but in a novel. Bowie, the orchestra, minor chord (pretty sure). #MSWL #YA

Nature Boy - From "Moulin Rouge" Soundtrack by David Bowie

Co-signing this request, but for YA and MG!

#mswl

Floating a little wishlist item out to the universe, but I really want to see more kid-lit non-fiction in my inbox.

Young Adult and Middle Grade non-fiction, specifically. #MSWL

I’m so proud of the work @IamGMJohnson and @robin_stevenson are doing, and I’d love to see more.

In general, I am repping picture books (nonfiction only), high-concept chapter book series, middle grade, YA selectively, & adult fiction & nonfiction. My detailed #MSWL is in the link above and will be updated regularly.

I'm always looking for projects in the genres/categories pinned here: twitter.com/Lynnette_Novak…. I'm REALLY eager to find more: adult thrillers, horror, & #ownvoices contemporary romances; YA contemporary & horror; all MG, especially horror & contemporary. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

"YA novel about teens into rock climbing/gyms. The terminology, the gear... someone write that." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I spy OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA on @wensday95's #mswl for adults, and while I'm currently closed to queries, I want to throw out there for the future that I would LOVE to see something like that for the #mg/#ya audience when I reopen. Also something on food justice for teens.

If the soundtrack to your unpublished YA manuscript is @taylorswift13’s Lover, then I WANT SO SEE IT!! #MSWL

Serial killers. Holding out for a child psychopath. Domestic suspense. Thrillers (in adult and YA) . Rom-Coms. Friendship breakups (YA). Male/female platonic relationships (prefer adult, but would look at YA). Otherwise, follow my #MSWL. #askagent

#MSWL (when we re-open for unsolicited subs, or for a #NewVisionsAward entry, or agented subs): a YA novel that digs into this history. Perhaps a dual narrative of someone from that time period and someone from the present? I'm not sure. smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/its…

"I would LOVE to read a YA contemporary novel about a teen birder. Anyone out there writing one? Query me." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Asking again, #mswl
I'd love to see something where the two protags are trying to bump up their TV ratings or their popularity rating (in YA or adult) and start fake dating and post cute pictures if themselves on insta. Only to actually fall in love!
Make it queer.

I desperately want a really well done polyamorous YA romance. I would prefer this come from an #ownvoices author because polyamory isn't just an "open relationship" and it's not cheating. #mswl

I will also take poly romance for NA and Adult too. ;-)

Could someone please send me a YA contemporary novel with all the aching feels of Cruel Summer from #Lover?? Yes, I have been listening to this album all day. 🤷🏻‍♀️💕 #mswl

#MSWL: I want a #YA about a girl gamer. What’s it mean to prove your place there? SF element a lá READY PLAYER ONE is cool too (but not necessary).

Here I stand, speaking my truest desire into the universe:

BODY POSITIVE YA ROM COM #MSWL

(don't forget the com, the com is important)

if anyone has a MG or YA with a PROTAGONIST who has ADHD, i'd love to see it. in particular, a type that isn't the more commonly associated hyperactive but features the inattentiveness, procrastination, disorganized thoughts, etc. would be open to realistic or fantasy #MSWL
