It's January 15 & that means I'm now open to queries again -- and hungry to find some new talent for the new year! Send me your lyrical MG fantasy, your heartfelt MG contemp, your weird and/or witchy YA, your adult or YA romcoms, and anything else amazing. #mswl

Would love a voice-driven contemporary #YA rom com (frenemies to lovers, anyone?) #MSWL

Yep, I’m still looking for a #historical #YA take on Outlander (or any historical time travel premise). #MSWL

Would love to find a feel-good #YA version of #Friends, shenanigans and all. #MSWL (agented submissions only, please)

I found this old-ass copy of TRUE GRIT on the takeshelf at work a while ago and finally started reading it. Now I kinda want to acquire a YA western! It'd be a tough sell prob, but might be cool. #MSWL

My roommate just reminded me that American Dragon: Jake Long was a Thing, and that’s literally all I want in a YA urban fantasy RN #MSWL

Please....if a POC #ownvoices author even writes a Mission Impossible-esqe heist novel involving people breaking into the British Museum to recover their stolen treasure, I will help you write a query letter and blurb your book and push it into people's hands.

#MSWL I want to see more YA #ownvoices stories including the mythology of the Americas. I love me some Greek/Egyptian/Nordic retellings, but I'm looking for something closer to home.

Happy Friday, I have very particular #MSWL's today—Twitter, please deliver 🙏🏼
1. I'd KILL for a San Junipero-ish YA: queer sci-fi with high emotional stakes and a sweet ending
2. Hear me out, a YA Red Tent (midwifery and ancient rituals of womanhood) set IN SPACE

What happens when Walmart, Amazon, and all the world's retail giants move into one tiny town? I went to Elwood, IL, to report on the precarious, tax-abated hell that is living in warehouseland, where all our stuff is stored.newrepublic.com/article/152836…
#MSWL: any MG or YA set in "warehouseland."
Katelyn Uplinger @KatelynUplinger · Jan 9
For those #amquerying I remain open to queries. Genres high on my #mswl for 2019 in adult and YA include horror, historical fantasy, chilling mysteries, and tense stories about survival. In nonfiction would love some weird or fun history.
