I know I tweet this every time I do a Miss Fisher rewatch, but I’d kill for an “opposites attract” romantic duo that sizzles like Phryne and Jack. THOSE LOOKS! #MSWL

Also, more MG and YA graphic novels! #MSWL

Seeing a couple #MSWL tweets today, so jumping in with some ideas I’ve been tossing around.I’d love to see more MCs in MG and YA who are literal monsters, but soft and sweet. #MSWL

15) Light Adult fantasy. Show that thinks don’t get less magical after childhood. Comps like Practical Magic, Garden Spells, and The Night Circus. #MSWL

14) Romcoms about athletes competing at the Olympic level. I want the next Cutting Edge! #MSWL

13) Cute, funny contemporary YA romcoms that are driven by dynamic characters. #MSWL

12) I’m dying for a YA set during the 1920s. Something sharp like gin or bubbly like champagne. #MSWL

11) I’m still desperate for a good YA horror. Something dark and disturbing. More eerie than gory, and grounded in reality (no supernatural killers needed). #MSWL
Literary Agent
10) I want more YA stories where the dynamic friend duo is front and center (and any romantic relationships take a backseat) #MSWL

9) I am forever and always a theater kid at heart. Backstage was my second home growing up. Bring me your stories about or inspired by the Arts! #MSWL
Literary Agent
8) I still have my fingers crossed for a clever retelling, a genre-crossing tale with familiar faces, but not unnecessarily faithful to the source material. It should stand independent and quite unique. #MSWL
Literary Agent
7) Send me the hungry ones, the MCs who want something so badly, it rattles their bones. Who encourage their ambition. (YA) #MSWL
Literary Agent
6) Send me your jagged girls, the ones who broke and put themselves back together. The ones who don’t hide what they are (YA). #MSWL
Literary Agent
5) Send me your quiet, lyrical magic. Your tales of discovery and wonder. Give me a MG bedtime story that paints my dreams. #MSWL

4) I love Harriett The Spy, Artemis Fowl, and Encyclopedia Brown. I always want more clever, observant kids. (Working moral compass not required) #MSWL
