What UK Children's Editors Want Now

Stolen from Pub Rants

More boy adventure books (although one publisher specifically said their list is full in this arena so not as high on their list)
YA historical
would love a prize-winning new teen voice along the lines of HOW I LIVE NOW
Funny with beautiful writing (so a blend of literary with a really fun story line)
a modern Anne of Green Gables
middle grade fantasy that is a girl-driven narrative
humorous girl stuff that is more than just boys and relationships but is warm, and character driven. Not necessarily issue driven
high concept middle grade with a really original voice so it can stand out.
anything that can crossover solidly to the adult market (ie. THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF A DOG IN THE NIGHTTIME)
fantasy
a contemporary author with a literary, classic voice. (hum.. that seems to tie in with the modern Anne of Green Gables example above)
