We must acknowledge the fact that there was a point in Japanese history where they tried to wipe out the entire country of Korea. This cannot be swept under the rug.THIS MUST BE TAUGHT.
This is what Iβm looking for in historical fiction. Iβd love a YA along the lines of Pachinko #mswl

I get a tonne of queries for YA novels that feature characters who are in, or have just gotten out of, some kind of interaction with the prison industrial complex (i.e., juvenile detention). I would LOVE to see a book like this written by someone with lived experience. #MSWL

#mswl I donβt know why but I want a YA about that quiet girl who gets βA pleasure to have in classβ from every teacher, literally titled A PLEASURE TO HAVE IN CLASS, where it opens with her seeing that report card and then descends into her setting (figurative) fire to everything

YA and emerging-adult nonfiction about wellness and self-improvement with a fun voice or visual elements. I particularly would love to see wellness mss that are sensitive to class/economic limitations! #MSWL

WRITERS! Send me your MG and YA novels that grab me from the first page and make me laugh, make me cry and make me forget the pandemic. I'm looking for a broad range in my #MSWL--pretty much anything but fantasy. Query through the Stringer Lit site: stringerlit.com
