@Quiberonq I read alot of YA as a kid but I am seeing the progression of it get heavier. Like PRINCESS DIARIES, ALANNA: THE FIRST KNIGHT, CROWN DUEL are all YA today but I would say Younger side. And I would love to see diverse younger YA in those same veins.

I love diverse voices. So I want to be swept into other cultures. I want to be immersed into new experiences.
We are all human and the universal is in the specifics #MSWL

Literary Agent
And finally to wrap all this up, diversity is welcome in all of this. I'm looking to make cool stories with cool people. 😎 #MSWL

Also, while I do love dark fantasy, I would love to see some fantasy that can serve our younger YA readers. Like Tamora Pierce and Sherwood Smith use to. Diverse reads we can give 12-15 set. #MSWL

#MSWL for picture books. This is the diversity and fun books I NEED more of. @JessieSima can do no wrong and this is my gold standard now for PBs.

Part of why I am looking for more diverse characters is because I love seeing worlds and experiences that are not mine own. The commonalities of human experience will transcend for me.

#MSWL I want more #ownvoices and diversity on my list.
