I am especially keen to find YA mysteries & love stories, anything with an unreliable narrator & voicey MG characters who know their own minds! 🤗 I love historical & also contemporary adventures with a twist! Glorious writing is top of my wishlist - ALWAYS! #MSWL

voicey stories of diaspora, migration, displacement, being 1st or 2nd gen, being mixed-race/third-culture, having families split apart by borders, all of it—whether it's contemporary like BROWN GIRLS by @DaphnePalasiA or genre-transcending like FOLKLORN by @AngelaMHur

For Middle Grade, I'm looking for voicey books with a lot of heart, and primarily contemporary stories. I'm open to books in verse as well as prose.

These are some of my favorite recent MG books. #MSWL

#MSWL Still (forever) seeking voicey female-fronted thrillers. Less domestic/psych suspense fiction (unless they've got a killer Gone Girl-style twist), more heists, fights, action/adventure goodness. Would love a female Reacher equivalent. Humor also much appreciated.

Kinda vague, but I always want smart, original, voicey, atmospheric fiction about art, music, fashion, dance, that brings in contemporary issues

Across all genres and formats, I hope you’ll think of me when the setting is practically a character in its own right, characters are flawed but trying, themes involve grieving while living and/or found families, & the voice is particularly voicey

Voicey YA romcoms, especially if they’re queer, and especially if they’re made more high-concept with a unique structure or unexpected twist

I'm back open to queries and can't wait to hear from all of you amazing #amwriting and #amquerying humans. Send me your twisty high concept thrillers, voicey mysteries, and timely and fun commercial fiction. #MSWL

This year, I'm focusing on growing my #nonfiction list. I'd love to work on popular science, social science, and food books. Voicey writing. Think Mary Roach, Adam Grant. Climate, space, the ocean, biology. Mental health, personality science. Cookbooks! Chemistry of cooking #MSWL

Hungry for submissions! Also really looking to be swept off my feet with a great voicey fantasy (non-royal, preferably). #mswl

#MSWL I’d love more queer and other diverse YA and MG fantasy in my inbox, please! Something with a great hook, voicey writing, and/or easily accessible world building. I want characters who make me HAVE to read on. (Agented submissions only.)

Looking to fill the #onlymurders hole in my life. Please send me your quirky, twisty, voicey mysteries #MSWL

MIDDLE GRADE
