I'd also love more spooky/horror MG. Give me fantastic monsters, nature-based villains (like a forest or swamp), and something weird and twisty. I'll take it in YA too. #mswl

Also, I think I would be willing to accept high fantasy if it were a RomCom. The closest thing I can think to comp to this is Princess Bride. We need more. #romancelandia? #MSWL

I just finished Rick Riordan's recent Apollo book, and I would love an upper MG or YA or Adult book about Artemis/Diana. If YA or A, I would love this in the vein of Madeline Miller's Circe. MG would be in the vein of a RR Presents novel! #mswl

I'm looking over all of my authors pitches for subs and I comp them all to wither Maggie Stiefvater, Neil Gaiman, or Adam Silvera (or a combo of those three). So, that's my brand as an agent. If you can comp your book to one of these authors, please query me. #MSWL

I really want an adult book like Killing Eve. I don't normally rep suspense or thrillers, but I'd love something in speculative fiction the incorporates similar themes. I love how smart it is and how dark Villanelle is. Please give me more Villanelle characters. #MSWL

I'd love to see something in my inbox that is basically about Cabeswater from The Raven Cycle? #MSWL #TRC "The trees speak Latin."

I need more chaotic characters in my life. Chaotic good, chaotic neutral, chaotic evil. I need them all... a thread. #mswl

I have a lot of darker themes in my query box (as well as clients that write darker subjects), so I'm REALLY craving light, upbeat, funny works right now #MSWL

Watching Star Girl because @JoleneHaley mentioned it. Now I need to read the book. I love stories about people who have been homeschooled and then join public school.

I want more. #mswl
