YA fantasy! Iβm all about witchy blood magicβdarker is better (does anyone see a trend here yet). Queer! Enemies to lovers! Magic with consequences! Tangled friend/family relationships! Unique plot lines with lots of tension/conflict! AND DONβT FORGET THE KISSING I NEED KISSING

Literary Agent
Havenβt found my novel written in verse yetβparticularly wanting this for YA!! Contemporary preferredβagain melancholy, mental health/queer centered, darker is better. DYING FOR LYRICAL VOICES HERE.

Literary Agent
YA contemporary! Iβm dying for a queer story revolving, especially one revolving around mental health. I want unique concepts and HIGH STAKES and lots of conflict. I tend to be drawn to more melancholy tones in contemporaryβbut adore humor and light sprinkled throughout!

Literary Agent
#MSWL I am DYING for a queer, #ownvoices contemporary surrounding mental health
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD GIVE FOR A QUEER STORY ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS WITH A LYRICAL VOICE
(hint: it rhymes with bowl and the devil would be happy to trade me)
