I have a ton of #mswl tweets, as well as a MSWL page & an official Triada wishlist, but here are a few random things I’d love to see...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!

Lauren [closed to queries in August] @laurenspieller
that might not seem like a ton, but when you consider how many genres I represent across multiple age categories, it is a LOTWhen 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
Literary Agent
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

Hello, yes, while you are all paying attention because vampires, I would also love a diverse YA romantic comedy of sorts. (Think When Dimple Met Rishi or I Believe in a Thing Called Love) #mswloh 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.

Random #MSWL I’m putting out into the universe: I would love a manuscript that tackles the disappearances of Native American girls and women, a la the movie Wind River. YA or Adult, #ownvoices. Ok universe...let’s make it happen. 🤞🏽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
