Kristi Tragethon IS in FULL teacher mode! @KristiTragethon
@UweStenderPhD #askagent How long do you (on average) take to review a full manuscript? And if you’re on the fence about it...do you put it aside of awhile?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.

@UweStenderPhD Any inbox trends you can share? Also, what have you read and loved recently?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.

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

Literary Agent
Oh, and MG and YA graphic novels. #MSWL

Literary Agent
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.

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

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

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

Literary Agent
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.

Literary Agent
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.

@UweStenderPhD Another thing: Kpop and manga. They're becoming more and more popular, and I know *I'd* love to see more YA based on topics/genres similar to those. I have a lot of friends who'd read those too (McKenna, I'm looking at you since you love BTS so much).Definitely, @adiba_j mentioned it, and I now want writers to send kpop inspired projects to me. #MSWL.
