I want someone to pub a YA story where the main character wants to orchestrate the biggest, most spectacular coming out of all time, like a surprise sweet 16. Shenanigans happen, but it all comes together in the end and the MC gets a big smooch from their crush at the end. twitter.com/outseide/statu…SEND ME THIS. #MSWL

Lauren is open to queries again! @laurenspieller
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

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

Literary Agent
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!
