#MSWL for the new year pt 2: feel good YA romance, especially if it's queer!
First crushes gone right, awkward pining, best friends to lovers, fake dating turned actual dating, I hate you but oh wait, we're actually similar af and I may like you.
ALL OF IT.
Literary Agent
I'd also like some speculative YA/MG where weird stuff happens and characters are forced together to figure it out.
Think The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman or The Bone Houses by Emily-Lloyd Jones.

In the new year, I'll really be on the hunt for contemporary YA and MG! Whether it's romance, growing up, dealing with hard stuff, figuring out friends, I want all of it.#MSWL #amquerying
Think Summer Bird Blue or Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman, Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World by Ashley Blake, or How To Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters.

I want more queer romances with problematic morally-grey characters, I want queer Zukos and queer Jude/Cardans and queer Salvatore brothers. I love cinnamon roll queers but I hate the feeling that queer characters NEED to be morally upstanding to exist in YAI want these stories now. Please and thanks!

I would like to see more psychological thrillers in YA #mswlYes! Send me stories that bend reality and make me question the stability of the main character.
Or even better, a main character who is hiding information from the reader.

This thread keeps getting longer but I want YA with teens that make mistakes. Maybe they're learning. Maybe they did it on purpose. Maybe they have secrets, a fuel for revenge, unrequited feelings they're dealing with. Maybe they did what they needed to survive.

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.
Literary Agent
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.

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.

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

Guys. An idea just hit me.Starring Latinx vampires. Family obligations. Honor. Respect and upholding tradition before anything else.
and The Matriarch.
Who everyone calls Abuela.

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.

Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks
I keep thinking about how badly I want to read more smart, unnerving YA horror.I don't want gore. I want a story that makes me ask questions that I don't want an answer to. #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.
