Although my tastes are eclectic, certain things show up in lots of the books I work on:
Angry girls and sensitive boys
Unlikely heroes
Mysteries, murders and conspiracies
Authentic representation
Fantasy with an agenda
Opposites attract friendships
Finding your true self

I’m still angry about this. There are only nine illustrations in this book and one of them is of these goblins. There must have been so many eyes on this image and it’s shocking no one scrutinised it. twitter.com/langtonbecca/s…I want to counteract this - I would LOVE to find a great contemporary Jewish story for MG or YA. Anything that isn't historical! I want Jewish rom-com or a Jewish fantasy and just Jewish joy in whatever forms #MSWL

A YA fantasy with original, compelling worldbuilding – think RF Kuang, Tomi Adeyemi or Ciannon Smart. I want magic and danger and hearts-in-mouths, but above all I want it to feel new #MSWL
