Guys, come on: My tweet hopefully did not indicate that "incest" is on my #mswl. IT IS NOT. #querytip twitter.com/byobrooks/stat…I actually would sign an incest YA, I loved FORBIDDEN. #mswl

#MSWL: YA in which teen discovers dad/brother/bf is a white nationalist planning a rally, so must confront him + joins counter-protest.

I love Survival stories, so if anyone writes an extreme version of the Fyre festival I want to see it! (YA or MG) #mswl

@eisen5585 Anything in YA is fine. You can read my sub guidelines or #MSWL for extra insight.

Writers watching #MSWL: When in doubt, just query. That's you saying "hey, interested in my book?" No need to @ agents w/clarifying Qs.Every time I do #MSWL and say something like "I'd love a YA thriller" and get "What if there's a ghost in it?" or similar. Just query!

YA that is unapologetically commercial. Big hooks, fast plot, etc. #MSWL
Literary Agent
MG Or YA-- survival stories. Lost at sea, snowed in, etc. Think real world, not apocalyptic. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Would love a YA dealing with spiraling depression. Maybe a destructive relationship as a catalyst. #MSWL
Literary Agent
For Contemporary Romance: both blue collar, rugged guys, and billionaire alpha heroes. Think high heat, not sweet. #MSWL
Literary Agent
how about a YA that NAILS crushing on someone from afar who doesn't know you exist? That invisible, yearning thing of our teen years? #MSWL
Literary Agent
In MG, I enjoy tween girl stories-- fun and breezy with a great voice. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Would also love a YA with a non-linear timeline. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I would love a super intense LGBTQ romance for YA, as well. Not necessarily a coming out story, just an enjoyable love story! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I will also absolutely consider fresh paranormal YA. It's gotta be amazing, but I think the door is slowly opening, so BRING IT. #MSWL

I'd love a YA beach read. Breezy, Fun, romantic. Something to make me smile and swoon. #MSWL
