Putting it out to the universe: i want to sign some clients this fall.

I want something different in my queries. Something fresh, unique, with amazing storytelling and rounded characters. #MSWL

Some people where wondering about my New Adult #MSWL . Here are few books and shows that would be perfect to comp to (Side note: my Lady Whistledown MSWL would fit in New Adult too). I am looking for complex characters having emotions, propulsive reads, & less for spicy sexy times

And as usual, I am going to be looking for YA.

A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

Next up, I am opening to New Adult for the first time. I am looking less for spicy sexy times, and more for that new adult story. So comps for me would be BEGIN AGAIN, YELLOWJACKETS, SADIE, SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS, THE MAGICIANS.

I tend not to get super specific on my PB MSWLs since I love to be surprised but what I am looking for is the "heart of gold" in the story. Your book can be weird, sweet, funny, lyrical, commercial, whatever, but I want heart.

First up, I am looking for picture books with heart. If your books comps with GRANDPA GRUMPS, NOT QUITE NARWHAL, SKULLS, or any of these, I want to see.

I am lovely this vein of comedic fantasy. You know, the high fantasy world meshed with a workplace romance/comedy, and an almost contemporary voice. I'd love something like that. ONWARD & ASSISTANT TO THE VILLIAN is kind of what I am thinking. #MSWL

Adding to this: if you don't see an #MSWL that fits your book, but you think we might be a fit, feel free to send it in. I am looking to grow my novels list!

Here for the cozy YA mystery #MSWL

I really want a sweeping romance that you make go SQUEE with joy. Love enemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn tropes. #MSWL

I would love to get a fantasy. #MSWL

I feel like spec fic is having a moment so bringing this one back! #MSWL

I would literally shove any of my colleagues here at The Tobias Literary Agency if it meant I could get this. #MSWL

Okay, I freaking love Ren Faires and I would love to see a Ren Faire contemporary YA #MSWL

I love mermaids and I would love to see a fun contemporary with professional mermaids! #MSWL

Ahead of opening to queries this week, I am going to retweet some of my #MSWL tweets. This month I am really looking to find more YA novels, particularly hoping to find a fantasy or more contemporary coming of age romances.

It is rare that I have a #PB #MSWL but I am thinking about FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS and I would love a picture book that comps to that
