#MSWL #writingcommunity

Please send me a YA that feels like this Langston Hughes poem.
#MSWL

Boy books for a YA audience. #MSWL

*tbh I'd love to see a character like Stiles from Teen Wolf, bonus points for a father/son relationship like he has with his dad and strong friendship dynamics.

For YA, I'm open to most topics, and I'm especially seeking these:
-post-Roe repercussions
-the dark side of momfluencing (from the kid's POV)
-contemporaries for the Emma Lord/Rachel Lynn Solomon audience from BIPOC voices
#MSWL

I would LOVE to find an irreverent and messy contemporary upper MG or young YA in the vein of "Never Have I Ever." #MSWL

I'm always open to YA or MG in verse! I prefer blank verse, and I'm looking for a cohesive story with a strong point of view. #MSWL

I'm seeking more horror in 2025! Adult, YA, or MG, send me your spooky stories.

I also love social commentary in the vein of YELLOWFACE.

#MSWL

Bonus: In YA and MG, I would love to see more homeschool rep and foster care/adoption storylines.

For YA and MG, I am open to all genres but horror and high fantasy, though I have been drawn to contemporaries lately. Looking for great pacing, characters I would have loved to be friends with growing up, and storylines that move me or make me think.

What's at the top of my #MSWL in 2025? Women's Driven Fiction, Book Club Fiction, sweet adult rom-coms, YA, and MG. 🧵#writingcommunity #authorcommunity

as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl . I’m looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

As for 2025, here’s an updated #MSWL of what I’d love to see in the inbox. Looking forward to some exciting projects next year!

🎵It’s TIIIIIIIME! 🎶
I saw a lot of incredible queries in 2024, and my experiment of opening my inbox one week a month worked out well. I was able to stay on top of my inbox and meet my personal goal of getting my response times waaaaaay down. That said, I’m still going through Sept-Dec queries…
