asians are the original horse girls and I’m just begging someone to write about a girl and her 3500 BCE horse domestication adventuresAnd if you do write it, please query me with it!! #MSWL #amquerying #WritingCommunity #horsegirlhere

And finally, @ByGeorgeJreije’s SHAD HADID AND THE ALCHEMISTS OF ALEXANDRIA. I fell in love with this one because of the culture, the food and the frenetic fun. #amwriting #WritingCommunity #gobuyit #MSWL
Literary Agent
Another just came to mind - @MariaJoseFitzg2’s forthcoming TURTLES OF THE MIDNIGHT MOON. I loved this magical eco-mystery and it’s strong cultural elements and setting. #MSWL #amquerying #WritingCommunity #onethatgotaway

As agents, we all have ‘ones that got away’. One of mine was Ginny Myers Sain’s DARK AND SHALLOW LIES. And I would love to see something like that in my inbox right now, #amquerying authors! #writingcommunity #MSWL #southerngothic #alltheatmosphereAnother? Lorelei Savaryn’s CIRCUS OF STOLEN DREAMS. Gorgeous writing. Gorgeous imagery. If you can comp to either of these I’d love to see your projects, #amquerying authors. #MSWL #mg #ya

And a few perennial #MSWL requests - wilderness stories, a new generation of #horsegirl books (would LOVE to see this from a #BIPOC author), logic, puzzles, whipsmart protagonists, morally grey characters. Can't wait to see great things in the inbox next week (10/25)!

In the #picturebook #PB realm, I'm really focusing on culturally grounded stories from marginalized authors and non-fiction that focuses on lesser known heroes/historical figures/etc. Here I love folklore, non-western mythology, etc. I don't typically tend to gravitate toward -animal/farm type stories. I have a few PB deals that have yet to be announced, but hopefully when they are it should give a better idea of my tastes here!

I'm currently being very selective in the #middlegrade category, but here I'd happily take a look at #horror, #mysteries, stories with quirky characters a la client @merrill_wyatt 's Sloane and Amelia in forthcoming TANGLED UP IN LUCK. Also, I love humor in middle grade -be it tongue-in-cheek a la client @HenryCClark 's WHAT WE FOUND IN THE CORN MAZE AND HOW IT SAVED A DRAGON, or the occasional fart joke. Please make me laugh!

For #YA, I'd love to see more psychological #thrillers, #mysteries, #light atmospheric horror. Give me a YA Girl, Interrupted, please. I'd also love to see more #BIPOC and #queer stories that lead with joy here - #romance, #romcoms.

Beyond that, some general things I gravitate towards when reading: unreliable narrators, strong sense of place, atmosphere, lush settings (in fantasy AND contemporary/realistic fiction), strong emotional resonance, twists, surprises, literary/lyrical writing. #MSWL
