I love books that tackle big subjects, but I also really *really* relish the humorous moments in those stories.

Every author I rep has humor in their book, no matter the topic. And I can instantly think of those moments off the top of my head.

#MSWL: YA fiction: verse novels, serious subject books that are full of humor/candor (think Gae Polisner), female friendship stories, contemporary witches

Hey #MSWL: Am seeking a great love story with dimension, humor, and a strong commercial hook. Think ONE DAY or THE LIGHT WE LOST, but not necessarily a weepy. I am esp eager to read #ownvoices stories or underrepresented narratives in this space.

I'd love to see more contemporary mysteries with sympathetic protagonists, ordinary people with good humor who are pushed into dark situations. Think Rear Window or Tana French's The Witch Elm. #mswl

I would very much like a middle grade novel about the (unknown) daughter of Hades and Persephone. #MSWL (something humorous like Percy Jackson please, but obvi not set in that same world).
