Specific #MSWL :
Lower MG with the heart and humor of Ivy + Bean or a lower MG version of Eloise. Illustrations in projects like these are welcome!!!
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
A fun, pace-y (maybe humorous) mystery series for MG or YA à la A STUDY IN CHARLOTTE, TROUBLE IS A FRIEND OF MINE, THE FOURTH STALL, Stuart Gibbs’ SPACE CASE or FunJungle books, or an updated Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden (especially Trixie Belden!).
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Highly commercial MG books that play with format and have robust storylines: think DIARY OF A WIMPY KID or TAPPER TWINS.
Literary Agent
Specific #MSWL :
Shorter books in the MG space (i.e., 250 pages or less): highly commercial, fun, tightly plotted and accessible to reluctant readers w/high concept premises and standout protagonists, especially w/tones like Stuart Gibbs’, Varian Johnson’s, or Geoff Rodkey’s.

#MSWL I’m also always on the look out for:
✨genre mixing projects!
✨gap area projects!
These are books that do fun things w/genre boundaries and/or hit "gap" areas of the market: voice-y lower MG, adventurous (or romantic) upper MG/lower YA, upper YA & New Adult.
Literary Agent
#MSWL I’d love some fun, voice-y school dramas both MG and YA. Kids scheming things, kids getting away with things, kids having adventures on fieldtrips gone awry!
And I'm happy to look at projects with unusual formats like The Tapper Twins series.
Literary Agent
#MSWL Would love some nouveau riche casts in material too! Probably most interested in international settings for Adult work, though happy to see U.S. settings too especially in YA.
MG, YA, NA/Adult welcome. Genre mixing or SFF w/same vibes welcome! Would love BIPOC casts!

#MSWL I'm a sucker for epic, historical feeling fantasy worlds, but I'd love to see more epic, modern feeling secondary fantasy worlds and worlds that gorgeously blend historical & modern too!
High stakes & romance get my attention well. MG, YA, Adult/New Adult all welcome!
Literary Agent
#MSWL In MG in particular, I'd love to see more urban fantasy adventures like Percy Jackson featuring casts of really loveable characters in really epic situations.
Upper MG, YA crossover, and YA like LEGENDBORN is definitely welcome too!
Literary Agent
#MSWL I'd love a non-Western✨ vampire ✨book.
MG, YA, & Adult all welcome.
For MG: likely adventure/fantasy based w/magic and/or non-Western mythology.
For the rest: fantasy set in a non-Western world w/sharp stakes & a romance.
Could be 1st or 2nd world fantasy.
Literary Agent
#MSWL In YA (& MG), more "study/adventures abroad" books featuring teens in non-American locations, especially if the locations are non-Western and the stories star really robust casts of BIPOC characters.
Think ONE TRUE LOVES, I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS, & LOVEBOAT, TAIPEI.
