Want agent feedback? I'm replying personally to adult fiction queries this week. Details here: tmblr.co/Z1DsEu28Bh6uG #mswl

#mswl -- MG, YA and adult fiction with a rich sense of place -- its history & traditions & how these tie into characters' identities.

#mswl - heartfelt MG mysteries -- contemp realistic, historical, supernatural/ghostly mysteries, anything -- with great pacing & characters.

High on my #mswl: character-driven thrillers like THE EXPATS, BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP, THE INQUISITOR, anything by Tana French or Gillian Flynn

#mswl - I'm also still looking for my DARK MATTER or READY PLAYER ONE: a voice-driven, smart, high concept sci-fi novel.

#mswl - I'm also on the hunt for stories that are melancholic and lyrical -- not bleak, but that find beauty within the sad parts of life.

I'm eager to find literary MG and YA -- beautifully written stories that pull no punches. #mswl #askagent #querymeplease

#mswl - smart, voice-driven adult fiction like SUNG UNDERWATER, THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS, AGE OF MIRACLES.

#MSWL - I'd love to find a literary historical novel, MG, YA or adult. A great YA romance or adult sibling story with a historical backdrop.

A writer at a conference this w/end asked what I wanted to see in MG; honestly, it's heart. Regardless of genre, heart wins me over. #mswl

#mswl - MG series with lots of action and adventure like these, please! tmblr.co/Z1DsEu252qICj #askagent #amquerying
