More high concept high fantasy in the YA space. I get a lot of plots that feel familiar and therefore unpitchable. I want something with a really strong hook. #MSWL

Hello! I'm still working my way through my queries and requested material, but I'm reopening to new queries on Sunday 5/1! So here's a little #MSWL thread, and of course all of my previous requests still stand: mswishlist.com/agent/SWeksteinHEARTSTOPPER gave me butterflies the whole way through, so I'd love to see something in this vein in YA. #MSWL

Just thinking how much I’d love to get a Jewish YA that is NOT centered on the Holocaust. Give me a Birthright thriller!! A Camp Chi summer romance! A Hillel set-up gone wrong!! And the more food descriptions, the better. Please & thank you #mswl #ameditingSame #MSWL

Currently listening to Binge Mode Harry Potter, rewatching ATLA, next rewatch Dawson’s Creek. Next read? Hopefully some YA or MG featuring a ride or die group of friends. A story where friendship and love is central to the protag’s success. #MSWL

#MSWL Team sports in middle grade and YA. Would especially LOVE a high school girls team with a few main characters. But I'm also a sucker for Friday Night Lights...

Brooding YA Hero @broodingYAhero
It's a well-known fact that the more kickass a YA heroine is, the fewer female friends she has.Other girls distract from her awesomeness.
#MSWL the opposite of this. I'd love a kickass girl group. Female friendships are so important in YA, give them to me!
