Absolutely loved @JamiesonV’s Sketchbook in the @nytimesbooks today. “Look for slivers of light.” #MG #MSWL

To the #query writers, without whom we agents are NOTHING: my #MSWL contains #YA thrillers, eccentric and wild. Send away.

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

#Querying? Send me your contemporary #MG, especially if it plays with structure like Jack Cheng's See You in the Cosmos. Send me your historical fantasy #YA, especially if it has a multicultural cast like Heidi Heilig's The Girl From Everywhere. #MSWL

Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

Does anything more precisely encapsulate my teenage soul than when Elliott Smith draws out that “s” in Needle in the Hay? “You oughta be proud that I’m getting good markssssss.” #MSWL

Kind of thrilled to be reading a #YA mss right now that's like, The Semplica-Girl Diaries, told from the SG's point-of-view. Hello #MSWL.

THE HAZEL WOOD is not only pure #MSWL material for this agent, but it looks great doing it too. Thanks @the_SDB, love it already.

I don't know why, but I love Westerns. Give me your weird, untold, funny, new POV #YA Western, à la True Grit or The Sisters Brothers. #MSWL

Unreliable, awkward, unnerving, inappropriately funny, charmingly disturbing, a misfit, a #YA Tom Ripley, an #POC weirdo. #mswl #ownvoices
