I would love to add a craft book to my list. #MSWL

Super fun Contemporary YA. You know all your favourite swoon-worthy fanfic stories? I want YA fiction that reads like that. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Inventive chapter books! Something unusual with series potential. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I really, really want illustrated nonfiction. Ex: WHAT WE SEE IN THE STARS, LITERARY WITCHES. Or maybe something prescriptive and workbook-ish like THE CURATED CLOSET. #MSWL

I love #MSWL day! I’m going to throw some new wish list items out into the universe today (and probably repeat some older ones I’m still hoping to find), but you can always find even more + extra submissions information on my website. mariavicente.com/representation/

I want a YA anthology called FLUFF, and it's just a collection of sweet, warm-hearted stories for these dark times. Someone get on that please.This is exactly what I’m looking for in YA manuscripts right now. #MSWL 💖🌈✨📝

I made the mistake of starting The Vampire Diaries on Netflix (it's my first time watching the series) and now all I can think about is vampire lore. I am ready for a vampire resurgence.To be more specific when it comes to books, my Young Adult vampire-themed #MSWL would look something like this: new twists on classic tropes; more interested in a badass character than "vamp with a soul"; the Pink Ladies or T-Birds... but vampires!

Reminder that not all work by POC must be weighty, dramatic books. White authors got to write thousands of fluffy books and cash the checks. We shouldn't be appreciated only when it gets dark and horrible.I so badly want these “fluffy” YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities). #MSWL

I'd also love a realistic Middle Grade with a protagonist who has an immigrant parent (or parents). Growing up, I would have really appreciated reading this element in a book. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want to see your Middle Grade novels based on myths and traditions from various cultures. #MSWL

Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL
