And now I’ll start listing off some specifics! At the top of my #MSWL: PB author/illustrators w/ a very distinctive signature look.

Some of my faves: Juana Martinez-Neal, Vashti Harrison, the Fan Brothers, Emily Winfield Martin, David Litchfield, Anne Lambelet, Sophie Blackall.

#MSWL Middle grade group of friends who have to go on a mission--like ATLA, Stranger Things, The Sandlot, The Goonies, etc.

I'm still searching for a fantasy of any sorts inspired by Korean culture (this is for my historical fantasy K-drama lovers!), since this has been a very personal wish of mine as an agent for a very long time! #mswl

I'd love a contemporary YA that explores diaspora teens and their complicated family bonds while growing up between cultures, a la Lulu Wang's The Farewell. Hits hard at the issues, while still being able to punch things up with humor and wit. #mswl

I'm really on the look out for fun middle grade of all varieties. Bonus points if there's a lot of humor and a sibling/best friend rivalry. #mswl

I want psychological, literary horror that focuses on the characters and their relationships. #MSWL

If you’re a visual person like me, here is a link to my #MSWL Pinterest board which has some books I love:

I like books that combine genres. Like I would love a horror western or a mystery with magical realism. #MSWL

I also love historical fiction, though I'm mostly interested in the 1700s-1960s. Anything set in the ancient world typically isn't my thing. #MSWL

Also, horrible, terrible, creepy, awful villains. #mswl

For #mswl day, here are my true loves: #SFF (adult and #YA), #ownvoices #nf #mg, #pb, #history and #science for kids, or...surprise me. Thank you for building #mswl , @jsinsheim

Since it’s #MSWL Day, I’m going to post a thread of the types of projects I'd love to see in my inbox. I’ll kick it off with a link to my MSWL, which I update frequently, and which I have heard described as “very oddly specific."

What I'm most interested in is fresh mysteries with strong characters. It could be a cozy, a psychological suspense, a police procedural, etc. My mystery tastes are pretty broad. #MSWL

What my inbox is hungry for: Some adult Crime Fiction, Dark Comedy, and Thrillers. Maybe some unique YA fantasy. Also children’s Mystery and Fantasy. A killer True Crime book would make my life. Are you writing one? #MSWL @VictressLit

Oh, and I have a soft spot for Southern Gothic. Especially from/about POC. And I don’t mean just tossing a side character who practices hoodoo/voodoo into a mostly white story. *side eyes Hollywood* #MSWL YA/MG

This is a genuine--and impossible IRL--dream job, so I'd at least like to rep a book about it. #MSWL

I am a huge, huge fan of historical fantasy, especially from unexpected places and times (like @kateheartfield's Armed in Her Fashion). I don't represent historical fiction with no fantastic elements. #MSWL

*continues shrieking* #MSWL

I just finished WESTSIDE last night, and it has a lot of qualities I'm looking for: historical, noir, speculative element, gorgeous writing, great voice. #MSWL

I say this every #mswl, but I never get enough hard sf. I especially like hard sf based on the unexpected sciences, like @SueBurkeSpain's Semiosis series, based on her study of botany.
