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

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

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

But if we are going contemporary, I need to elevate it. Kit Frick is a forever comp, but if your book comps to TRULY DEVIOUS or FEMAL OF THE SPECIES, I would be here for it. #MSWL #YA
