My #MSWL part 6: I want all the MG!!! Give me cute & quirky, spooky, mysterious, funny, adventurous, magical--you name it. Probably not all in the same book, though. Show me familiar done with a different twist or something new. I want UNIQUE!!! #WritingCommunity #amquerying
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Dec 1
My #MSWL part 5: In YA, I'd also love some creepy, scary, dark horror. This might surprise you, but I want something UNIQUE. Show me how your story is different from the rest. Give me goose bumps and keep me up at night!!! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

My #MSWL part 4: In YA, I'd love issue books that don't feel like issue books--it's a part of the story but not the main plot. Again, I'm looking for UNIQUE. I've seen a lot of stories about coming out and mental health. Give me something different! #WritingCommunity #amquerying
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Dec 1
My #MSWL part 3: Adult: I would also love a near-future sci-fi with a UNIQUE angle. Make it more about science & not so much about aliens or Star Wars. Give me dark fantasy but something that hasn't been done to death. Show me worlds I haven't seen. #WritingCommunity #amquerying
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Dec 1
My #MSWL part 2: I NEED adult horror--dark & creepy. If you have violence/gore, there needs to be a reason for it, not just "to entertain." You don't need either to make it a killer story. Premise must be UNIQUE. Scare me with your words. I dare ya! #WritingCommunity #amquerying
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Dec 1
My #MSWL part 1: I'm looking for adult thrillers--all kinds, but the premise has to be UNIQUE. It can be a serial killer, but what's different? Political, medical, any kind of thriller or psychological suspense, but show me how your story stands out. #amquerying #WritingCommunity

I’d love more YA contemporaries. Give me angst, heartache, love, issues, crisis, and VOICE!!! Show me your story will stand out, and make me feel like a teen is showing me their story, not an adult telling me about it. Give me all the feels! #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunityI’m still looking for this👇🏻and #ownvoices and #diversity too!!! #MSWL #amquerying #writingcommunity

I’m also looking for a contemporary romance with a lot of voice. What does that mean? The voice needs to stand out and make me forget I’m reading. #mswl #writingcommunity #amquerying
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Jun 13
I’m looking for a contemporary romance (single title length) or a rom-com that’s #ownvoices, #diverse, #poc, and/or #lgbtq. #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunity
