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
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
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
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'd also love to see queer relationships in YA. Especially the sweet, ugly-crying kind #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want more African-inspired SFF. I want Muslim characters in YA. I want native characters EVERYWHERE #MSWL

#MSWL a MG/YA about the destruction of the Rondo neighborhood in STP—or a similar historically black neighborhood
Literary Agent
Poignant YA/MG. Not necessarily sad, but perfectly true. Books that make you understand what it means to be human #mswl
Literary Agent
Middle-of-the-day #MSWL reminder: if a tweet fits your book, check that your book is in the agent's categories! I do MG, YA, SF/F, Rom/E!

Super in love with @lainitaylor's lush descriptions. More of that in YA, please. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL MG and YA where the MC makes ACTUAL mistakes and learns from them.

#MSWL YA horror. MG that is both funny and poignant. A really creepy circus book.
