Looking for weird #YA in #pitmad today...I want something surreal like FX's Atlanta, or A.S. King's 'Still Life with Tornado.' Can't really figure out what it is yourself? #Ownvoices writer? Query me. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

Jordan Peele: "When I started to write this film, I set out to make a movie that would be my favorite movie that I had never seen." #GothamAwardsThis is all my #MSWL forever and ever. Write what’s missing. I guarantee you, someone else is looking for it too. #YA #ownvoices
Literary Agent
Unreliable, awkward, unnerving, inappropriately funny, charmingly disturbing, a misfit, a #YA Tom Ripley, an #POC weirdo. #mswl #ownvoices

Please send me #YA & #MG stories about the immigrant experience. Can be set either in this world or another, but make it authetic. #MSWLI'm also looking for the weird, surreal, hilarious literary #YA that blends genres and punches guts. #OwnVoices are 🔑. #MSWL

I love #MSWL. It's like picking ice cream toppings - "I'll take some #YA fantasy based on Pakistani myths...#ownvoices please...

As for #MG I want adventure! I want creepy! I want a spare, measured prose that crackles with insight from an idiosyncratic character. #MSWLMy #MSWL is #diverse. I'm not here to help. I'm here cuz my liberation is bound to yours. Publishing needs to include all voices. #OwnVoices

#MSWL: Low SFF. Re-tellings. LBGTQ. Dark, twisty, I-shouldnt-be-laughing-but-am. Contemporary voices. #OwnVoices. #NewVoices. #VitalVoices.

A novel about a teen gospel/blues musician, the devil at a crossroads, the Deep South, and what you lose when you win. #MSWL #YA #OwnVoices
