Watching videos about "behind the scenes" staff from famous movies (nightmare before Xmas; Pirates) and realizing how many women really created them: from script to costume to models/graphicsWould love a historical or contemporary focusing on highlighting their roles! #mswl
Example: scriptwriter of Nightmare before Xmas was dating man who was Jack's singing voice. Showed him script, he hated it, she gave to studio anyway, they loved it.
Would love to see a WF of a woman w/perseverance and finding success despite that sort of obstacle #mswl

#mswl I'd love to see a Romeo/Juliet retelling outside the US/Europe. Rival tech/business mogul families? Something Filipino with rich worldbuilding? Count me in.

#mswl I would love a graphic novel concept that's kids starting friendships through windows across the street or next door because of social isolating! Things one does to make the other happy and so on =]

Where are my joyful stories featuring #POC characters? Diversity pls! Black, Latinx, Asian, Indian, Native American, etc. This term gets read over a lot in my #MSWL’s. For those who don’t know, POC refers to the term "person of color” & describes any person NOT considered white.So much #mswl! poc and lgbtq+ individuals just being people and living life!

Literary Agent
#mswl YA fantasy or contemporary where it's focused on the apprentice to the tiger handler (yes, this is a #TigerKing inspiration) or someone who escaped a tiger cult lol

Literary Agent
I think I'd also love a MG GN where it focuses on divorce/grief and how kids cope or lean on one another/pets/neighbors/hobbies to find a way forward. Bittersweet but meaningful #querytip #amagenting

Literary Agent
Lastly, until I think of more, definitely send me MG STEM-infused plots and POC characters and boys who are allowed to feel/girls who are smart and capable and sassy. Truly looking for tons of GN in the MG sphere #amagenting #querytip

Literary Agent
I'd love rom com LGBT in GN form. Cute meets and fun debacles and rich angst/drama! #amagenting #querytip

Literary Agent
would also LOVE dark GN with creatures from lesser known legends/cultures
on that note, give me historical GN! Give me time periods in new places with new people and their part in that event. I'd love POC and how they affected certain wars/spy networks/etc. #amagenting #querytip

Literary Agent
This can all be for MG, YA, and Adult btw.
I'd love a spec fic with modern witches (small spells, hanging herbs, cats and comfy seats to read the grimoire). Think Sabrina bet less superpower and more everyday crystals, brews, etc. #querytip #amagenting

Literary Agent
Also hungry for contemporary with LGBT, mental health, and disability rep. Not necessarily issue book plots for GN, but characters in their lives (I'd LOVE Fantasy with disability rep!) #amagenting #querytip

Literary Agent
In GN, looking for Fantasy with lush worlds and diverse casts. I want this to be something where magic is infused into society or daily living. A place where we're reading more for the people and place. I'd love to see an eco-one focusing on resources, too #amagenting #querytip

Hey all! Just updating that I am now open to Graphic Novels! Here's a brief MSWL for this #amagenting #querytip
