Bonus points for YA rom-coms:
-butch love interest
-autistic protagonists
-former athletes rediscovering their identity after an injury or health crisis that ends their career within the sport
-protagonist thinks they're nemeses and love interest thinks they've been flirting for years

I haven't received as many YA rom-coms as I'd like yet. I want stories that are heavy on the com, and have subplots with a lot of depth that inform the development of the rom. #mswl

Looking for the same things as usual: YA rom-coms that combine shenanigans with some deeper social issue, YA suspense focusing on local injustice, YA heists (please send me your lesbian heist novels!). Still on the lookout for a story about child labor rights.

I've been hearing about "genre-bending horror" a lot, particularly horror-romance and horror-comedy. I'm curious to see some novels in those categories! I'm looking for both YA and Adult horror novels.

I'm currently closed to queries and won't be fully participating in #mswl Day, but when I reopen I'll be on the lookout for:
- YA romcoms with depth and shenanigans
- heist novels
- literary horror
- author/illustrators working on picture books and graphic novels
