Would love a ms. that plays w/ multiverse theory like this one, but YA (or MG). Note: writing must be superb. #MSWL shelf-awareness.com/max-issue.html…

There's a huge hole in the market where funny and/or sweet YA used to be. And as someone who would have read those books as a teen 😥.My kingdom for funny YA! Bring on the characters I desperately want to be friends with b/c they make me laugh. #MSWL twitter.com/OfficiallyAlly…

I'd love a MG or YA w/ a big ensemble cast where even minor characters are vivid & true & original & rise far past tropes/stereotypes. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL YA w/ main characters who are vivid & compex yet utterly ordinary (read: NOT the Chosen One) but facing extraordinary circumstances.

#MSWL I'd love a YA re: 2 teens who meet b/c both have hugely popular online identities & go thru 1st love/heartbreak in the v. public eye.

#MSWL MG/YA books re: (any) faith that aren't 1-dimensional, moralistic, or simplistic,but authentic re: role it can play in Becoming Human.
Literary Agent
#MSWL YA/MG novels where sense of place is so vivid & real, the setting almost becomes a character itself. Bonus points if it's southern.
Literary Agent
I'll always/forever be looking for YA best described as the "love story of a friendship," where romance isn't core; close f'ship is. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL YA or MG novel w/ interesting scientific elements woven into the plot or somehow forming narrative/structural backbone.

My YA inbox is so dark & angsty! Would love to see YA HUMOR. Specifically: voice-driven, smart, witty humor, not snarky or belittling. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL YA/MG made of multiple characters' linked lives-NOT a short story collection-that add up to a larger story/highlight connectivity(2/3)
