YA and Middle Grade Fiction

Light-hearted, action adventure, character driven, coming of age books that can tackle big themes and doesn’t shy away from important topics. Books with romance but are romances. Thoughtful stories about character over spectacle.

YA and NA crossover fantasy

Stories with big hooks, escapist realities, political intrigue, messy characters making the wrong decisions, gamification, rage, and atmospheric environments

In both YA and Adult, I want these two buffoons. A political backdrop with extensive world building and incredible conflicts anchored by the hatred and love of two people who are somehow functioning when they should probably be dead

Young heists, mysteries, detectives, assassins. Middle grade or YA necromancers, supernatural hunters, and kids who get revenge

✨🤍📖I’m open to queries✨🤍📖

I am so so stoked to open my QM again and this time I have new things on my #mswl! I’m especially in the mood for:

Dark academia
MG & YA heists, competitions, mysteries, and thrillers
Adult fantasy romance
Adult contemporary romance

I want MG/YA/Adult family dynasties with family members who would absolutely commit crimes “for the family” and need therapy but instead just like murder and luxury

✨Hi I’m back OPEN to queries✨

I’ll make a #mswl thread throughout the day, but here are a few things I’d love to see:

✨romantic fantasies
✨assassins, spies, detectives
✨court fantasies (maybe w/fae)
✨YA contemp. retellings of 90s movies

I’m stoked to find new books!!

I want something that will break my heart. Sobs outside of a movie theatre parking lot. Hands shaking, trembling before a huge moment. Screaming for help through small physical actions people don’t pick up on. Contemporary MG, YA or NA with big stakes & family drama.

Oh what I would give for some YA and crossover historical dramas. I’m talking period pieces, assassin stories, retellings set in their original time periods, royal courts and political intrigue 👑

Please give me books where I can fan cast this man
#mswl

I would love to work on a high concept, beautifully aesthetic YA fantasy, period drama, spy or boarding school story with series potential #mswl

I am on a roll reading queries right now and I’m so so desperately in the mood for a warm, cheesy #YA meet cute or some really cool historical fiction. Where you at #amquerying authors? Also please please Black authors, send me your ideas and let me hype you up! #MSWL
