I'm also looking for upmarket YA Fantasy. I'm a sucker for thoughtful and elegant prose, and deep (not wide) worldbuilding that feels effortless despite it's intricacies. Contemp fantasy, second world fantasy, whatever--it's all great, as long as it sweeps me away. #mswl

In YA, I'm craving a high concept contemporary--that means you can pitch in easily b/c it has a HOOK. I love weird jobs, enemies to lovers, unique living situations, and high stakes. #mswl
Literary Agent
I'd also love to see more MG Contemporary that showcases friendships, in particular m/f in which a crush isn't part of the plot. #mswl

Lauren's book is ON SHELVES! @laurenspieller
I'm closing to queries on 8/1/18, so here's a quick run down of my top #mswl items. Please keep in mind: 1) these are my priorities right now, but I'm still considering projects in other categories, & 2) I will re-open to queries on 9/1 so don't hurry! Good > Fast.Here we go!
I would love to see more Middle Grade in general, but I am particularly excited about contemporary fantasy (fantasy set in our world) and stories inspired by non-western cultures. #mswl

Adult Contemporary/Romance Writers! I would like to sign a project that reads like Bridget Jones/Crazy Rich Asians/The Hating GAme--funny, fast paced, and clued in to social questions. #MSWL

I'm in the mood for a multi-POV contemporary YA Fantasy a la THE RAVEN BOYS. Anyone? Bueller? #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm on the hunt for unique retellings. The Odyssey, Edgar Allen Poe, Faust, Shakespeare? Contemporary, SFF, Horror? I want it all! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I would love to find a lush, magical YA contemporary fantasy with a unique female MC. It's going to be on my permanent #MSWL, I suspect.

MG/YA Contemp that pushes boundaries. Make me uncomfortable. Make me afraid. Make me cry. I want to hurt and hope in equal measure #MSWL
Literary Agent
YA with the kind of lush worldbuilding found in THE RAVEN BOYS or SCORPIO RACES. Contemporary Fantasy or Magical Realism! #MSWL
