Similar vein: an A w a protag retiring/leaving that life early, navigating adulthood outside of those early career achievements #mswlOoo yes. And add in them being forced out in a way and I am there. #MSWL

I know meet-cutes are nice & all but I'd love to read/write a meet-uglylike two people fighting for the last good bagel
like someone gets "accidentally" punched
like a guy yells up at a princess stuck in a tower & she drops a bucket on his head bc he woke her up twitter.com/SamSykesSwears…
#MSWL My favorite trope is enemies to lovers.
Literary Agent
Oh, forgot one! I want a YA that is set in freshman year in college that explores what it means about being on your own for the first time and having to figure out who you are when you get to choose your own path. #MSWL (Warning: I will be picky on this!)
Literary Agent
In conclusions, I am looking for fresh new things that don't feel like things I have seen before. Strong writing, with binge worthy concepts. Characters that leap off the page and feel flesh out. And worlds that I want to live in. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I still want a creepy mermaid novel and a ballerina murder mystery. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Give me a character driven magical realism book with only a bare hint of the magic. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I love retelling (except for Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, and King Arthur) so give me fresh new spins. Bonus points if they are not the same ones we always see. #MSWL (psst: you can also use them as a spring board like how ACOTAR was a Beauty and the Beast one)
Literary Agent
I love a goo contemporary romance, ala ANNA IN THE FRENCH KISS or MEGAN MEADE'S GUIDE. Give me the feels and make me fall in love. Elevate the everyday so it is not my everyday. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I love @MindyMcGinnis THIS DARKNESS MINE and FEMALE OF THE SPECIES so I want something in that dark twisty vein. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Give me an unreliable narrator or an unlikable heroine, but make me care. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want a middle grade humor book. My favorite is THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON. Give me something quirky and offbeat, but still kid friendly. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want a literary book that is not contemporary. Give me a literary fantasy, magical realism, historical fiction. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want a witch book. I enjoyed THE GRACES and CHARMED. I want it a bit darker and more about the craft (less Sabrina from the 90s). #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want a historical that feels historical: from the writing, to the voice. My favorite authors are J. Anderson Coats, Ruta Sepetys, Ann Rinaldi. Recent favorite books: Wolf Hollow. #MSWL

As I near the end of my requested material (only 4 manuscripts left), I want to talk about the type of book I am dying to see more of in my queries. I'll use comps where I can so you have an idea of the flavor I am searching for.I want a lush fantasy that is character driven. I want writing that sweeps me away with its beauty but keeps me enthralled in the plot. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I am looking for a lush fantasy world with morally grey characters. #MSWL
