#MSWL fantasy w/ a translator protag. There's so much power in language-- how they translate for a ruler effects a whole kingdom, eg. I want to see the nuances & consequences of deciding how & what to translate, word play between languages, times when translation falls shortSomething I want to add to my #MSWL is that I find the rules of being a translator, especially for a deaf person, to be interesting. It would be interesting to see an MG about a child who has to speak for their parent (whether deaf or non-English speaking) and to see what happens

Basically, I want beautifully written books that have super commercial hooks to them. #MSWL
And with this last tweet, I open the queries and go get lunch.

Graphic novels! I want them. #MSWL

Give me more historical fiction. Hidden histories! Some of my favorite of late have been @RutaSepetys's books and WOLF HOLLOW. #MSWL

Check out my past #MSWL for more specific plot points in case I miss anything.I definitely need a strong psychological YA or thriller. Y'all know by know that Mindy McGinnis is my gold standard. #MSWL

I want well-rounded characters and strong character development. I want to be able to know they are real and to relate to them so well. I should know them better than they want to admit. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I definitely need more contemporary YA, but I am looking for contemporary that is not the every day setting. Elevate it and allow me to escape for my every day. #MSWL
Literary Agent
In both YA and MG, I need more fantasy. Fair warning: I will be picky. I am looking for lush worlds, complex characters, and writing that sweeps me away. #MSWL

So now that I am ready to re-open let's talk #MSWL and what I am looking for in manuscripts for the rest of 2018. Let's do this!I am looking for writers that are in the vein of some of my absolute favorites. @kitfrick's writing is stunning. @lauraeweymouth's writing was so beautiful. Too many to tag, but I am looking for that literary beauty in a commercial hook feel. #MSWL
