Seeing some great #MSWL tweets today from agents I admire. In that spirit, I'd love to share some of mine!- MG or YA fiction with a character who might become AOC-- that spirit, that drive, that persistence would make for a great story!
- always looking for funny
#MSWL cont'd
- adult mystery or thriller in the procedural vein
- YA contemporary romance with a hook (leave that up to you!)

One of my weird obsessions is Wicked Tuna, a show about tuna fishermen. I’d love a novel about a career that is essentially a whole community lifestyle. See, eg. farming, fishing, etc. #MSWLThis could be especially interesting in YA, if a kid either wants to join the family business or break free from it... #MSWL
