Do you have historical YA, romance, or SFF? Is it set in a place/time not often written about? #MSWL
Literary Agent
MG and YA horror. Scare me! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm a sucker for poignant contemporary MG/YA that's also really funny. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#blackgirlmagic. Literally. Figuratively. Don't Care. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Contemporary books with a strong sense of place. I love the setting to be almost its own character! #MSWL
Literary Agent
Fantasy adventures with slow-burn romance and ALL the sexual tension #MSWL
Literary Agent
YA and MG characters with specific and varied enthusiasms, Got a kid who is nuts about bees? Chemistry? A little-known Dutch painter? #MSWL
Literary Agent
SFF with worldbuilding with highly logical and fresh elements that shape who your character is #MSWL
Literary Agent
Enemies-to-lovers romance. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Literary F and SF. Cinematic action/adventure SF. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Give me complex, sympathetic villains. Heroes who aren't necessarily good. MCs who roll with the punches but aren't happy about it #MSWL
Literary Agent
YA inspired by the DAPL issue. Black Lives Matters. PP. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Is your book (especially YA) about social justice, protesting, and movements? #MSWL
Literary Agent
Steamy romance with verbal consent, and a twist on the normal dynamic. DO you have a lady billionaire and her male secretary? #MSWL
Literary Agent
Literary Agent
SF/F based on African folklore/mythology, or set in an African-based world. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm still looking for that YA (non-Salem) witch book (where they grow up doing magic) that makes my heart go a-flutter. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm especially looking for #ownvoices. If this a story that hasn't been told, and it's your story to tell, I'm your person #MSWL
Literary Agent
Above all things, I want books in my inbox that are feminist and diverse. #MSWL
