Monthly reminder that I'd really love some darker small town dynamic stories especially if they have found family, queer characters, a spooky forest and a light magical element.

#MSWL

Some #MSWL things I've been craving in my inbox:

🌈 Queer MG, especially first crushes
💙 Found family dynamics
🌳 Small towns/isolated settings especially with a speculative element
💀 Southern Gothic
♣️ Stories that involve tarot/playing with fate

My list is pretty speculative so I'd love more contemporary! Anything that explores platonic and romantic relationships, family, growing up, difficult decisions, etc.

As always, I'm on the lookout for queer representation. I'd particularly love to see:

1. More identity discovery/first crushes in MG
2. Sapphic YA rom-coms
3. More queer works by BIPOC authors
4. Queer stories w/ happy endings
5. Supportive queer found families

Countdown #MSWL Day 3:

Latinx kidlit authors, please query me! I would love to see magical realism, stories around family dynamics, fantasies steeped in mythology.

Give me everything 😍

Give me YA stories about competitive sports, found families, and momma bear coaches like in #Cheer

Huge #MSWL right now!

#MSWL for the new year: found families, best friends who don't need to say anything to communicate, friends who live together because sometimes families are difficult.

I'd absolutely love:

Complex/sweet sibling relationships
Slow burn/enemy to lovers romance
Witches
A cast of super close characters. Think Stranger Things.
Survivalist stories.
Space travel or space operas.

#MSWL #askagent

The deeper I get into #StrangerThings the more I want stories with sweet af relationships between older/younger siblings or friends.
