A few uber specific #mswl requests:

-middle grade set in CA
-MG/YA featuring Jewish characters (whether they are religious is up to you)
-a book about NASA space camp
-characters with weird jobs or hobbies
-realistic, sex-positive YA
-international thriller with a female MC

Bisexuality in YA. Make it sexy, make it sweet, make it NBD. Just make it. #mswl

#MSWL I’d like to see a MG or YA featuring a family that reminds me of the Weasleys ❤️

This is the most obvious #MSWL ever, but...

I want books like To All The Boys I've Loved Before, in YA and Adult. This means:

--high concept
--romantic
--funny
--diverse!
--contemporary
--family B plots
--HEA

Let's do this!

When I open to queries again in September, I hope to continue receiving YA Fantasy (because I love it) but I also hope I see more

☻ Middle Grade Fantasy
☻ YA Contemporary
☻ Adult SFF
☻ Adult Psych Thrillers

I'm also still looking for the perfect YA Sci-Fi. Maybe it's a space opera, but it's set in the near future on earth. Maybe it's about weapons, maybe it's about cyber warfare. Whatever it is, I'm looking for a distinct VOICE. #mswl

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

I'd like a YA/Adult manuscript--any genre!--that features a #FF enemies to lovers arc. #mswl

I've been on the hunt for a YA Thriller for ages! #mswl

oh my god this is all I want. I want it in YA *and* Adult.

I'd love a diversely cast Bridget Jones, or 27 Dresses, or OH The Devil Wears Prada.

#mswl

I am craving a gorgeous revenge fantasy in YA or Adult. #MSWL

I'm still looking for this book. It doesn't have to be set in America, or even our world. What I'm really after is a book that engages with the abuses perpetrated against indigenous people, in particular women, and the colonizer's legacy of violence and oppression. #mswl

I would love to see more SFF MG and contemporary YA in my inbox. #MSWL

I'd like a non-white, dark fairy tale for MG or YA. #mswl

Unagented writers--I would love to find a YA Contemp set in freshman year of college. #mswl

Oh god me too #mswl

#MSWL: I'd love to find a YA Historical Fantasy with the kind of incredible voice and expert worldbuilding found in @jessica_shea's remarkable BORN WICKED/Cahill Witch Chronicles.

Also, if you haven't read those books, you. are. missing. out.
