Gently begging the ol’ query inbox for YA speculative fiction that comps to Welcome to Night Vale and/or A.S. King. #MSWL

In contemporary YA, I’m a sucker for gorgeous, meticulously crafted prose—think E. Lockhart and Jandy Nelson. #MSWL

Mini #MSWL thread! I’m an associate literary agent at Azantian Literary Agency, representing YA, queer adult romance, and adult nonfiction. Query me here:

In contemporary YA, I want weird. I want queer. I want earnestness unafraid of itself. I want wordplay. I want fun. Would love to see something contained within a unique setting—on set at a TV show, at sea, something about leap years… #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, looking for:

•select middle grade
•young adult contemporary realistic fiction, and realistic-ish, like A.S. King
•queer romance
•adult nonfiction

Wanna dive deeper into my wishlist? Let’s!

Some more #MSWL items for me:

•Middle grade science fiction like Insignia by S.J. Kincaid, which I loved

•Epistolary fiction like Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke

•Lyrical, literary, lush contemporary (or contemporary-ish) YA—again, Jandy Nelson comes to mind
