High concept YA/MG fantasy about POCs with gorgeous, literary writing please. #MSWL

In MG & YA, I'm focusing on high-concept contemporary that's sweet, funny, and layered, the kind of book that deals with a couple different kinds of relationship including the MC's feelings about themselves. #MSWL

Also for YA contemporary realistic: high-concept, epic romancesāespecially anything with extras like compressed timelines and other ambitious narrative risks. Experiment, innovate! Been on my #MSWL forever. Inclusive and intersectional most of all.

Now let's talk contemporaries and what I am drawn to in those so when you see my #MSWL, you'll know.First off, I need high concept. I am not often drawn to the contemporary that could be my everyday life. I need to escape so even if it is a real world setting, it is not my REAL WORLD.

I usually like a touch of magic, but lately I've been seeing a lot of queries that seemed like great high-concept contemporaries that turned into time travel or fantasy unexpectedly.Literary Agency

I'd really love a high-concept, aspirational romance. Think To All the Boys I've Loved Before and 13 Little Blue Envelopes #MSWL
