Do you like data on trans ownvoices YA fiction?? Well, have I got the blog post for you!! I broke down some of the info from my ownvoices masterlist to see how the indies and the Big 5 are doing.

(Spoiler alert: it's dismal, but it's improving) raystoeve.com/2020/01/17/who…

Shout out and huge thank you to Ray for their amazing research here!

We need more trans stories!

When I reopen to queries, I'd love to see your trans stories in any age range and genre, please!

Is there room for young ya (protagonists who are 14 & 15)? I hear there’s a gap....then why aren’t we filling it? This is such a great age to write for and read about. #YoungYA #askagent #ownvoices

Yes, and this is a giant #mswl for me!!

#MSWL a MG adventure featuring a kid and his/her/their dog. Can be fantasy or not, but I want the friendship between child and canine to be front and center

Seconded! This is a big #MSWL for me too! Love stories of friendship between human and animal.

One thing that I'm craving, #amwriting, #amquerying friends, is a fantasy (any age range) that is set in a cold wintery arctic world. #MSWL #amagenting

A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

Somebody give me this in MG story format! #mswl

Paranormal, please! Friends, I blew through the TWILIGHT books SO quickly when they came out. And I think that vampires are making a comeback, and this is a hill I will die on. #YA #MSWL

Additionally, give me body diversity in all genres! I love stories that are not centered on bodies; characters can fall in love, save the world, and do anything in every size and shape! #YA #MSWL

Diverse

Also, I'd love to get a YA OCEAN'S ELEVEN. Someone write a heist story with teen characters and send to me! #YA #MSWL
