i'm a sucker for a good family story, a good friendship story, and of course some good romance, too, but it's okay if that's not front and center. i didn't date until i was in college, so i know there's more to being a teen than romance! #MSWL

I'm super in the mood for more cozy mysteries, especially those with paranormal or historical elements, and/or queer protagonists. #MSWL

I would love a YA love story with the meet cute of WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI and Black main characters who have the celebratory feeling of Beyonce headlining Coachella. #MSWL

i'm terrible at #MSWL because i usually don't know what i'm looking for until it lands in my inbox and i start reading and suddenly i'm halfway through and three hours have magically disappeared...but to try and be at least remotely helpful (!) i'm always on the lookout for new YA of all stripes, though i have a forever love of contemporary - a fresh take on an every day idea, a twist i haven't seen before, a tearjerker (ideally of the happy kind, but i'll take both) #MSWL

Can you write a great ensemble? Victoria Schwab and Leigh Bardugo are the masters, and I will forever be looking for talent who can write a group dynamic. If Jessica Cluess's HOUSE OF DRAGONS were out, I'd point you to that as a great example. (Look for it in May 2020!) #MSWL

Have you read WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS? A journal to the main character's therapist had me hooked from the first page! I love when author's really think about structure and PoV. Letters and journals can be so revealing. 💌 #MSWL

#MSWL Common tropes with a fresh twist--falling for your best friend, enemies to lovers, etc. Take something cliche, and subvert it, or make it new.

YA that takes a nuanced look at abortion and/or consent from a unique lens and/or high concept setup #mswl

Looking for BIPOC and white LGBTQ+ contemporary and fantasy authors with strong hooks in the query and an uplifting vibe. YA and MG alike. Graphic novels too, please! #MSWL

A fun MG centered around a place a la Mr. Lemoncello's Library or The 13th Story Treehouse #mswl

I had this thought yesterday: LEGALLY BLONDE but Emmett is Emma. #queeritup #MSWL

I love an author who can tell a story with a tight timeline. DATE ME, BRYSON KELLER had a two-week romantic arc and THIS IS MY AMERICA had the mc's father on death row with less than a year left. Send me your stories where the stakes are high and the clock is ticking! ⌛️💣Is your mc living a lie? I'm fascinated by stories where the main character has a deep secret, even if it's MG! #MSWL
