I acquire YA nonfiction on proposal: overview, chapter description/outline, sample chapter. #mswl #ManuscriptWishList

In all my #MSWL, I haven't said epic fantasy. I love fantasy, but guys, make feel new. I hang in the space as a reader not just as an agent, so to hook me, you're gonna have to know the literary legacies and the tropes and how to break them.

And--of course--I always want the things that I couldn't even imagine myself. Surprise me! Be inventive! Be yourself! Speak with the voice that no one has but you. #MSWL

Also, I would love more graphic novels on my list! For practically any age, really. #MSWL

I am craving some gorgeously weird YA fantasy as well! Particularly something contemporary-ish. #mswl

In SFF, I love a kickass heroine doing kickass things. I want to see a diverse group of people (in a multicultural/gender/sexuality sense) coming together to fight whatever BIG BAD there is. While High Fantasy isn't a good fit, pretty much everything else is.

I know summer is over (sob!) but I'm still looking for that summer vacation love story. It could take place at the beach or lake or in an exotic city, but I want something where there are real stakes involved with what happens when summer ends. (YA/Adult)

I'd also love to see some #Caribbean/#Latinx post-Hurricane Irma/Maria stories, stories that tackle the issues head-on but in a hopeful way, with a romance or personal growth for the main characters. Also YA or Adult.

It's #MSWL day & since I'm reopening to queries in a WEEK (eep!) I thought it would be a great idea to go over what I want to see in my inbox.
Caveat: These are things I want to see, but there are definitely things I haven't thought of, so if you think I will like it query me!!

Also on the adult side! I'd love to see upmarket fiction with elements of mystery/suspense in the vein of Celeste Ng’s EVERYTHING I NEVER TOLD YOU and Angie Kim’s MIRACLE CREEK. #MSWL

Mermaids! PB, MG, YA, GNs.✨🧜♀️ I'm not looking for an epic fantasy, or a story in which someone discovers they’re a mermaid, or a romance in which a mermaid falls in love with a human. I'd love for it to be something a non-genre reader could get into. #MSWLI am also adding this to my mermaid #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm also really into YA stories that take a romance structure/trope and use it to construct a fantastic friendship story (a la FOOLISH HEARTS, an enemies-to-BFFs contemp). #mswl

One of my #MSWL books is about a child or adult who is gifted: mcgt.net/checklist. <-- Questions for you, as parents and as teachers! Little gifted munchkins require a lot of support, in a particular way. Not quite the same, but...

Southern gothic YA is needed. #MSWL

Alyssa Jennette is closed to queries! @AlyssaJennette
A Lizzie Magie picture book would be cool! I had no idea who she was until about thirty seconds ago. #MSWLRemember a couple days ago when we were all tweeting about the woman who invented Monopoly? I tweeted about that a year ago! Send it to me! #MSWL
