Have I mentioned how much I want to represent Graphic Novels? I'm open to MG and YA! Especially diverse voices and stories. #mswl.

Hi #writingcommunity! I have 9 middle-grade queries in my box right now. I WANT MORE.

Adventure, Fantasy, sci-fi, magical realism, horror, historical, everything!

Also, I am open to considering non-fiction middle-grade novels, especially LGBTQ+ and STEM for girls. #MSWL

Tor Books @torbooks

Guys guys. We've been thinking. Are volcanoes dragons?

#mswl please!

· 17 Nov 2019

A couple things I REALLY want to read right now.

Historical YA with no magic, especially if its gothic/southern gothic.

Romantic Comedies, but with a new twist or perspective. Example: diverse backgrounds, gender-bending, or a retelling of Shakespeare/fairtales/myths. #mswl

RL Martin @AuthorRLMartin

@Literary_Tara What genres are you seeing a lot of in your inbox, or are wishing you were seeing more of? #askagent

Replying to @AuthorRLMartin

My 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

"No, I was the better shot" is like... the best line ever. #mswl with a character like this Sabina. Make her gay too.

Does anyone write YA Historical without magical elements? Because I would LOVE to see more of that in my box. #amwriting #amquerying #MSWL pic.twitter.com/oGEUxcGkdA

I adored Little Women, Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Princess and a child. I'd love to see stories like those but with a modern/diverse voice like GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE. #mswl

Diverse

Some ideas? How about:
- 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, but gay.
- a POC BRIDGET JONES DIARY
- a millennial SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
- a neurodiverse YOU GOT MAIL
- a plus-size of FIRST 50 DATES (or any book because I need more plus-size characters) #mswl 3/3

· 18 Oct 2019

Recent romances that I have loved and would like to see comps to:
- RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE
- THE BRIDE TEST
- THE RIGHT SWIPE

Basically, I want to see the next generation of romance. Millennials in romance, #ownvoices, underrepresented groups, and more. #MSWL 2/3

· 18 Oct 2019

Soooo... there is a lack of romance in my box, and I would like to rectify that. #amquerying

If you have a romance novel you are querying, I would love to see it! #MSWL

I'm looking for romance books that almost cross over into contemporary fiction/women's fiction. 1/3

Hog and Dice @TheHogandDice

Reminder that Shakespeare is Public Domain. You can just take his characters and do what you want. Gargoyles literally turned Macbeth into an immortal monster Hunter. Go ahead and put a time travelling Hamlet in your cyberpunk noir story. Who can stop you?

I'm totally here for all the Shakespeare. #mswl

· 14 Oct 2019

I'm just going to throw this out there. I loved THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera. If you have anything that could comp this, please send it my way! #mswl
