#MSWL An MG ghost story that leans heavily into the fun and funny and not the scary. While I'm always open to MG horror, I'm looking not so much for chills in this wishlist item.

#MSWL True enemies-to-lovers YA. True hate between them, maybe mortal enemies, etc. I gotta know they hate each other.

Before I close to queries, does anyone have anything like a modern take on 1984? #MSWLWhile I'm going old school, I'd also be interested in something along the lines of Brave New World. I especially like the technological elements of this, like the hatchery. #MSWL

#MSWL YA or adult (agented): A big romantic fantasy from the POV of the villain (or one of the POVs is the villain, but like a real villain with a redemption arc or the heartbreaking lack thereof) (Maybe this makes no sense but this is what my heart wants right now lol)#MSWL this sounds really cool. Would love to rep something like this. I think a villain that feels redeemable but just approaches that edge of redemption and then pulls back each time up until the end would be great.

#MSWL YA fantasy that isn't "dark". Dare I say fun, maybe funny? Something that feels bright? Still has to have a solid hook and story problem to solve.

Editor friends, I don't know tons of you looking for novellas & I need to meet you! I've been obsessively reading Murderbot & I'd love to rep a SFF novella/series (#MSWL) but I also do CURRENTLY have a horror novella if anyones looking! King would love it, gotta young MC!

Been thinking I'd love an MG or a YA book with "empathy" at its heart as a theme. Not looking for preachy or lessons, just that as its core heart. #MSWL

I'd really love to see middle grade projects by black authors that center black kids/teens that spin (ie make new & unique) old school & current favs like Babysitters Club, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Harry Potter, Matilda, Peter Pan, a modern Narnia, Treasure Island + more #MSWL

@Itsdiyahshalon self healing? I SAW RUMPELSTILTSKINI'm almost afraid to ask. Somehow this is terrifying which makes me #MSWL a horror with him as Villain. Nothing gross though. I don't do gross out. Just smart and terrifying.
Literary Agent
My wheelhouse tends to be middle grade, YA and women's fiction, both ABA and CBA. In women's fiction, I'm looking ONLY for interesting hooks ... like sure divorce revenge, but like with a sailing race & bet involved like in @Talicktweets Beware the Mermaids. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Right now I'd really love to have more category romance written for lines like Love Inspired and Love Inspired Suspense. #MSWL

There’s a conversation brewing on TikTok on the erasure of teen girlhood. They don’t see themselves in mainstream anything. They jump from being a kid to a baby adult. They have vv little representation. They don’t market anything specifically for them like they did for us 😕I wanna see books for this age group #MSWL not quite grown up, no longer babies.

Looking for #MG where the narrator every once in awhile casually addresses the reader (i.e. "You know how sometimes..." or "Have you ever had a stone stuck in your shoe?"), but NOT in a "This is what happened to me last summer & I'm going to tell you about it" type way. Thoughts?You know, #MSWL for when I reopen.

Been having the best time with my youngest, who introduced me to Fruits Basket over break. Just finished the third season, and if anyone can send me an MS that comps to that or makes me feel the same way Tohru, Kyo, Yuki, Momiji, Haru, Rin & the zodiac members do, I'm in... #MSWL
Literary Agent
Someone send me a dramedy like the old show ER except in book form. Maybe something with series potential, but it's own arc. #MSWL.
