mindy is leaving new york 💀✨ @MarindaOnline
i've said it before, but i'd love to come across more YA with teen characters who aren't planning to go to fancy universities, who are maybe going to attend community college or learn a trade or not even continue school at all. college apps don't consume every kid's life, ya knowI havr been saying this for a while now
#MSWL for this

It's time for another #MSWL as I get to the end of my queries! pic.twitter.com/egrSS18BQYReminder, these MSWL could also be applied to a graphic novel. Jus saying #MSWL

I want an amusement park YA book. Not saying **cough cough** Disney, but if Disney inspired the shenangians, okay. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want a poison garden book #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want YA that vibes with these two YA projects. There was a effervescent feeling to the writing here. #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want a YA that feels different from what we are seeing right now. Mix Genres, play with tropes, be inventive in your structure #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want a romance that hits you in the feels. I love drama and tension (think Billy and Daisy in DAISY JONES AND THE SIX). #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want an atmospheric mermaid book. I have been so picky in this area because my brain knows what it wants but I haven't seen it. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Perennial ask: Ren Faire. #MSWL

Literary Agent
SO I found out about true crime conferences, and I cannot stop thinking about a murder mystery that takes place at a conference where everyone is an armchair detective. #MSWL

Literary Agent
How could I forget I love second chance romances!!!! #MSWL

Literary Agent
I want to be haunted by a book reading experience: to squee as the characters go through drama (love a good dramatic, well earned fight) and to not be able to shake the characters from my brain. #MSWL

Literary Agent
Finally, what tropes make my heart go pitter and patter:
-enemies to lovers
-mutual pining (maybe mixed with enemies to lovers?)
-slow burn
-dark/sunny
-starcrossed lovers and love triangles (Team Jacob for the win!)
#MSWL

Literary Agent
Also if someone can figure out how to give me a cozy mystery as a YA, I want it. #MSWL

Literary Agent
So like apprenticeship style lives, college, figuring out what to do next #MSWL

Literary Agent
Also might be controversial, I want post high school (summer before college, or the first "year" of college) type stories. But since not every kid goes to college, I want to see how the come of age by leaving childhood behind.
Looking for YA themes though, not "baby adult" #MSWL
