The editors who are still employed right now are handling submission loads that would have been split across two or three people a few years ago.

Authors on submissions check-in: How are you? ❤️ Are you OK? Are you getting responses, or is it nudges with no answers and ghostings 👻 #kidlit #author

I think one of my favorite parts about the process of writing a romantic comedy was learning to write the banter ❤️ Currently working on edits for my English teacher x Band director romcom. #romcom #wip #romance #bandnerd #theatergeek

I did a school reading at an elementary school for Read Across America week. The students wanted to know about my other stories. I told them about my #cozy middle grade #fantasy. So many of them said they would love to read it. Hint hint, nudge #editors. Kids are wanting comfort reads. #kidlit

You didn’t give up. You kept on writing. You might not have gotten an agent, or gotten a book deal, but that didn’t stop you. You were sad and depressed. Many times you fought through writer’s block. But you still wrote something. You fought back. You tried. This trophy is for you❤️ #author

#Mswl: literary voice-driven middle grade w/a high-concept hook; speculative/fantasy or slice-of-life but I want to see gorgeous, engaging prose or verse; profound coming-of-age themes; and beautifully drawn characters. If it’s a heavier story, there should be love and hope reverberating throughout

And yes, 40k is good. I had a 60k MG fantasy go on subs and last summer an editor said it was too long.

I have a subscription to publishers marketplace, and there are so many GN getting published now and not many novels. No hate on GN, but for novel MG writers, it’s depressing.

Hallie Christensen | Author @halliechriswrites.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Mine is around 35k. It originally was longer. I do still see some longer books being acquired. It’s just more recently that I have heard the desire for lower word count. I feel like everything is arbitrary in this industry.

Hallie Christensen | Author @halliechriswrites.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Middle grade authors – the industry is looking for high concept, strong hook books, with a low word count. If anybody can figure out what that is, let’s let each other know. That way we can all write that and save this age group. Thank you.😅❤️ #kidlit #writingcommunity

I’m curious to hear from others about MG submissions. Labyrinth Road focuses on MG, with select YA titles. Lately most submissions I get have been YA. Are people feeling afraid to write or sub MG because of all the market challenges? I believe there will always be space for great MG novels & series!
