And who's going to let me bath or @RebeccaPodos for this??? #mswl

Along with LGBTQ+ historical, I'm SUPER on the hunt for more MG in 2021. This is definitely going to be making up a lot of my list =] #MSWL

Hey, y'all, please send me LGBTQ+ historical. PLEASE.
#amagenting #mswl

Watching Vampires vs. the Bronx and someone PLEASE send me a Haitian vampire book. You've no idea how badly I need this #mswl

Not gonna lie, I've had this #mswl for a while. Doesn't have to be baseball, but the feel. The nostalgia of just kids being kids!

I've noticed some things I always fall for:

Wine shops/wineries
Swamps
HIlariously awkward gay boys
Historical where they brush fingers and is a MOOD
MG where girls like ghosts and frogs and deep convos
Flying ships
Nerdy yet awe-inspiring talents
ANGST

#amquerying #querytip

Still here for witches. Please & thanks.

Especially modern witches. Crystals. Herbs hanging from kitchen ceiling and running a clinic in town with remedies that don't poison you with chemicals.
Maybe solving a murder or two along the way 😉

I would LOVE an LGBTQ+ rom com where they just ARE. They love, they fight, they live.

Give me POC who don't have to justify themselves constantly. They can have their own plot and action and agency and not answer to others.
#amagenting #amquerying #querytip

Tropes I see too much of:

Waking up with powers. Love interest next door. Evil stepmother/aunt/uncle angle. Romeo/Juliet love conflict from white/cis view.

No Greek myth stories unless SUPER twisting it into something new
#amagenting #querytip #amquerying

But with the dos, there are also don'ts.

I'm not huge for sexual/physical/drug abuse or assault. I'm not usually one for suicidal ideation in stories. Might be a great story, but might not be for me
#amagenting #querytip #amquerying

I REALLY love LGBTQ+ historical or MG first crushes kind of vibe. Always looking to build my list and want more Ace, Trans, and Nonbinary voices
#amquerying #amagenting #querytip

Paranormal? Give me non-US creatures/legends. I love mermaids, but creepy/dark over Disney. I'm not a huge werewolf fan, and I'm only looking at vamps at the moment if they're unique or an awesome POC perspective. Nothing even remotely Twilight, please!
#querytip #amquerying

In general, I'm drawn to strong voice and characters we can get deep within. Distant writing makes it hard for me to connect, so I'm probably not the best agent for those.

Give me nuanced villains, realistic conflicts, & new perspectives
#querytip #amquerying #amagenting

In Adult, my main focus will be historical, contemporary romance, and select fantasy/paranormal. Adult is a harder sell for me, so it HAS to really be unique, new, and with strong voice/conflict
#amagenting #querytip #amquerying

I prefer MG to be a bit more mature. If it’s under 30k, it most likely too short for me or doesn’t have enough build to grab me. I like things to be really fleshed out, to fall into the world and wish to stay
#querytip #amquerying #amagenting

In YA & MG, I really want historical, paranormal, contemporary, fantasy (of all kinds!), and non-graphic horror

Keep in mind, I'm super on the hunt for LGBTQ+, diverse voices, and new settings/events/creatures that aren't mainstream
#querytip #amquerying #amagenting

I second this!!! #mswl

Setting #mswl please

My main Qpoc (and all lgbtq) ask is for them just BEING PEOPLE and having a life. Please send me these rather than trauma porn #mswl
