Can I get a LGBTQIA+ sports romance? Especially if the sporty one is a lady, trans, or nonbinary. This is for adult, YA, and I'd take upper MG (even if it isn't romance). Thanks! #mswlEsports count too!! Give me gamers! Heck, I'll take hetero in that. #mswl

Oooo and I want books that make me laugh so hard I cry. Especially MG books and romance books.
Give me quiet books too that make you smile at the end (or cry). Especially in YA and Adult spaces. #mswl

Hi #amquerying, I have an urgent #mswl that needs to be addressed...
😉
I am seriously lacking anything and everything in the contemporary fiction space. Romance, Realistic (nonissue books), WF, RomCom, high concept book! I need them in MG, YA, and Adult categories.
Literary Agent
Misc. wants:
- Artist and Illustrators for picture books and graphic novels.
- Tarot card proposal.
- Middle Grade and YA nonfiction by underrepresented authors and spirituality.

For Middle Grade, I am desperate for:
- Horror that would even make adults squirm.
- Themes with puzzles and riddles.
- Group of kids going on adventures in their hometown.
- Graphic novels (in YA too)!

Ok, so I love movies and stories about a group of kids going out and having adventures, so I'm looking forward to the new Ghostbusters, but have you noticed all these stories are usually all boys? Maybe one girl?
Give me an all girl cast adventure MG. #MSWL

@Literary_Tara What genres are you seeing a lot of in your inbox, or are wishing you were seeing more of? #askagentMy top three (that I see in my box) are YA Fantasy, Fantasy, and Horror.
I'm desperate for more Romance and Contemporary in YA. Also, I'd love more MG. #AskAgent #mswl
Literary Agent
Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE stories that have a group of 4 or more characters going on adventures, figuring out problems, or trying to save the world. MG or YA, but give me stories like STAND BY ME, SANDLOT, STRANGER THINGS. #mswl
Literary Agent
Speaking of fantasy. I want a story about a character based off Nico di Angelo from the Percy Jackson universe. I love that little tragic-son-of-hades boy. To be more specific, here is a prompt for you: What if Nico was Arya Stark? YA or MG works for me! #mswl
Literary Agent
I need a MG graphic novel ala Stranger Things, Goonies, Stand by Me, and any other movie with kids doing crazy things to save the world/town/friends. #MSWL

In the Middle-Ages it was believed that if a witch got hold of a child’s discarded teeth the child could fall under the witch’s control.So paying the Tooth Fairy to safely dispose of teeth is a bit like paying to have confidential documents shredded.
