Always a sucker for misfit groups in MG or YA. Think ride or die friends, friends who are together because they're all they have, people pushed into situations where they realize, hey, we actually need each other.

#MSWL

If you comp Stranger Things, I may die.

I want/need/love steampunk, cyberpunk, and virtual reality. Do you have AIs? Technology going wrong? Futuristic cities? A game that gets a little too lifelike?

Think Warcross by Marie Lu, Tarnished are the Stars by Rosiee Thor or Final Fantasy 7.

#MSWL

I'd love a witch book! Witches in contemporary settings. Witches in their own world. Maybe a witch who doesn't want their powers anymore. A whole clan of witches ready to burn down the world.

#MSWL

I'd love a survivalist horroresque novel or survivalist dystopian YA. Think Wilder Girls by Rory Power! Give me off the grid islands, plagues, a trip gone gone wrong, the end that begins as a whisper.

#MSWL

I really NEED a YA alchemy book. Think in the vein of Fullmetal Alchemist. Give me a conflicted MC or a world where the laws of alchemy are being challenged or where magic comes at devastating price.

#MSWL

I'd really love some speculative contemporary YA or MG. Creepy woods. Elemental powers. Out of body experiences. Alternative worlds.

#MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I'll be posting some highly desired manuscripts in this thread.

The first? Give me Fire Emblem with angst and queerness and high court stakes.

I'm really craving friendship stories. The friends that can speak without words. The cheerleader friends. The group who became friends because they were outsiders. The friends who are fixing their relationship.

Give me sweet but also break my heart??

#MSWL

Goals but also huge #MSWL ! A comtemporary fantasy with a witch who is just extra AF.

#MSWL

#MSWL #MSWL and oh wait, #MSWL

Okay but where is my meet cute between a conservationist and someone they meet at a zoo? Throw in cute animal moments and I am living.

#MSWL

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

I want nothing more than an Abuela Matriarch leading a bunch of Latinx vampires. If you make this YA, I'll be even happier. #MSWL

Also, @epubagent - this is your jam.

Ummmmm... #MSWL ?

Please and thank you.

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

#MSWL

Look y'all - if you want me to scream at the top of my lungs, send me a story that comps Cardcaptors.

#MSWL

This 100%.

Examples like the ones Eric gives in his thread are often what I refer to when I say I want dark stories. Make me question things. Tip and break my reality into pieces.

#MSWL

Give me a book/character that embodies this aesthetic. Please and thanks.

#MSWL

Forever #MSWL - coming of age stories with ride or die siblings/best friends.
