First name is fine.

That depends. Sadly, these days it can take me months, and other times, days. It depends on how busy/distracted/focused I am both professionally and personally. My average is probably 7 or 8 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if I should offer or request an R&R. That could delay things.

In the last couple of months, I struck out twice when offering on fun contemporaries. One a YA rom-com, the other an adorable, witty, MG. So, #MSWL want: fun contemporaries with a great hook, super strong writing, & loveable protagonists, even when they are a bit complicated.

I WANT YA ROM-COMs. #MSWL.
I loved The Silent Patient, 8 Perfect Murders, Wann wird es endlich wieder so wie es nie war, Die Therapie, Drive Through Dreams.

I really want a GREAT YA rom-com. Query me! #MSWL YES, YOU HEARD ME! I'd REALLY love a fantabulous YA rom-com. ❤😎🙂

Oh, and MG and YA graphic novels. #MSWL

The last five days of my life were mostly drama and fear, but things are looking up. I still need cheering up, nonetheless, so my #MSWL for now is: YA friendship stories, YA romance, YA rom coms, YA boarding school books, YA hijinks, YA "All American" show TV like soap opera.

I will still have the occasional ASK AGENT session from here. I'll update my #MSWL here. You can also always find my most recent manuscript wishlist on the Triada US website. Below find my current preferences. Click on the picture to see all the details. Happy 2020, everyone.😎

Deliver me LGBT+ YA stories that leave the reader joyful. Plots that are fun, invigorating, and clever. I'd love to read an LGBT love or friendship story that's incredibly well written and makes me feel HAPPY afterward. #MSWL

I'd love to see supernatural & ghost stories, adult or YA. Bring on the eery, haunting, or Gothic. #MSWL

If I distilled my research properly, then teens want contemporary YA with friendship stories and diverse protagonists, but de-emphazing "issue books." #MSWL

College YA is another area that has been brought up in my informal polling, @ReadWriteandMe also mentioned it. I wish that publishers were more open to it, but if you send me a great one, we may make it happen saleswise. My next #MSWL: College YA.

Looking for authentic k-pop inspired fiction. To my shame that would not have occurred to me at all, but it makes complete sense. K-pop is HUGELY popular ALL over the world, so logically teens want to read authentic k-pop inspired fiction. Send it to me. #MSWL.

Definitely, @adiba_j mentioned it, and I now want writers to send kpop inspired projects to me. #MSWL.

That is now my #MSWL.

Possibly.

It all depends on the story etc..If done well: Awesome! If done poorly: 🙃

I would just not comp it.

Yes, 100% for me.
