YA Contemporary where the protagonist is BI or ACE. Super want more visibility in this LGBTQ+ area
Would love rivals-to-lovers
Family elements (like family business, remarrying, stepsiblings, adoption, etc.)

For YA, I'm more turning to Historical, Contemporary, and Contemporary Romance. Super selective on Fantasy and Paranormal right now, though would still love to see concepts on witches or ghosts (and vamps if unique!)

YA Novels
contemporary, romcom, fantasy, historical
If fantasy, you've GOT to bring your A-game. Very picky here for my list in fantasy, but definitely open to so many more contemporary and historical stories!

again, I am dying for more LGBTQ+ and historical; would love contemporary, fantasy, and horror here, too
Think outside the box. For YA, it needs to be something that totally immerses me in the characters or the world or the emotions

It's almost time!!! Given how I'll be opening my query box again in November, here's my new and improved #MSWL 😆 #amagenting #querytip #amquerying pic.twitter.com/nbD7rKjsClIn 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

Since I’ve been rewatching Buffy, I realized I would love a YA anthology that features stories of characters who come into contact with the same vampire over hundreds of years.One who hunts them, one who nearly dies because of them, one who loves them, one who kills them
Ummm yes please! Multi pov for the win! #mswl

#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
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

Updated my #MSWL! Be sure to take a look for 2020, when I open back up to queries! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait…

Oo! And what about a YA (Or adult, really) where it's f/f and they're forced to work on a painting together to win scholarship money or startup money. But they hate each other and then end up having a paint fight 😍 enemies to lovers! #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
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
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
