I love YA that in its surface is about monsters or magic but is actually about family or community or growing up #mswl

I'm closed to queries for the next couple months for dedicated reading time, but in honor of #MSWL Day I redid my MSWL! I am looking for all types of romance, SFF (plus horror), mysteries, thrillers, YA, and some small subsets of literary and commercial fiction!

If your YA could be described as "fluff" by "serious" non-YA readers, query me! #MSWL

If the protagonist in your YA has weird-ass enthusiasms, I want to read about them #MSWL

If you writing haunting, lyrical YA or adult SFF, I also want to see it. #MSWL

I want YA with NB protagonists. I want to see the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum normalized and represented. #MSWL

I want YA that gives equal weight to "small" things (friends, grades, etc) and "big" things (bringing justice to the world). It's all connected! #MSWL

The Chocolate War posed the question "Do I dare disturb the universe?" I want a book that barrels right past that question and into HOW. Give me YA where teens are changing the world #MSWL

I love luscious, lyrical writing in YA--think Stiefvater, Black, and more. #MSWL

YA that has a romance but the two don't end up together in the end. Give me hopeful instead of an HEA #MSWL

YA where the parents are like, real characters. Not dead. Not absent. But there and actually parents #MSWL

I want MG and YA (not exclusively though) w/ charas of color who aren't just white kids with a tan in terms of how they see the world #MSWL

YA friendship stories #MSWL

YA and MG horror. Scare the beejesus out of me #MSWL

Uproariously funny YA that also breaks my heart #MSWL

Contemporary YA witch family that doesn't take place in Salem #MSWL

#MSWL

#MSWL YA comedy mirroring Harold&Kumar where two teens go on an epic roadtrip for plan B (bc there's no easy access). Feelings and fun occur

#mswl YA or adult romance about a hiplet dancer

New desperate #MSWL: A YA or adult romantic comedy of errors set at an SFF convention.
