I'm open to vampires! You've just got to give me something different, unique, with a wonderful plot or setting. Still thinking there's so much we can do with New Orleans POC vamps or vamps in island regions.
Also would love vamps with the humor of What We Do In The Shadows #MSWL
Literary Agent
Still dying to find a Lost Boy book about one of them after they escape Neverland and are forced to live in London.
Also still dying to find casts like FireFly or Buffy with banter and sass and adventures. #MSWL
Literary Agent
For adult, I'd love a contemporary romance with humor. Maybe not full out Bridget Jones, but something that takes realistic elements and makes us giggle at them. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Definitely always on the lookout for contemporary. I want all the feels, the angst. In YA, I really want mental health focus on LGBTQ+. DEFF want LGBTQ+ middle grade crushes! GIMME! #MSWL
Literary Agent
Hell yes if those historicals are feminist, LGBTQ+, POC. Definitely interested in non-American and non-UK settings. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Currently on a HUGE hunt for historical! Any age. I want lesser known historic events and locations. I want MG trusted to become enmeshed in important/involved moments. I want YA and Adult to show rebellion or championing against the common law. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I LOVE Fantasy (Urban, Contemporary, Epic, the whole wazoo). Give me lush worlds, fabulous magic systems, diverse and deep cultures. I'd love to see these also grappling with environmental issues or disability/mental health #MSWL
Literary Agent
Ok, real quick #MSWL thread that I'm squeezing in today.
Basics: Upper MG, YA, Adult.
DO NOT send me PBs, Short Stories, Chapter Books, Nonfiction, Thriller/Mystery/Suspense, or Erotica

When her sultan husband died, Sultana Shajar al-Durr of Egypt hid the news from his aides, signed the orders in his name, rallied the army, shattered the Seventh Crusade, imprisoned the mightiest monarch in the world—Louis IX—and ransomed him back to France.#FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/bwNARvieab
So much #mswl

Also? Super want a main female character with SERIOUS freckles like everywhere. Like, mad freckles. Not just a "dusting" or "sprinkling" #MSWL
Literary Agent
Question: anyone have a novel about an ace main character who has a serious passion and falls for another person because of that shared passion and who they are inside? #MSWL

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.

This sounds AMAZING #MSWL

By the way. I’m still severely lacking in lgbtq+ MG. Please satisfy this need! #mswl
Literary Agent
So 1) if you haven’t heard of Good Boys, go watch the trailer. 2) I would love to see a MG (graphic or much cleaner!) about something like this; ex: first kissing party #mswl
Literary Agent
This is a new POV to the wars I definitely want to see #Mswl pin.it/i234ctmura4tjm
