#mswl 2019: YA Paranormal: I want a big vampire or werewolf book or paranormal series that feels new and different and unlike what we've seen before. And YA SFF unlike anything we've seen before. (5/13)

#mswl 2019: YA thrillers and twisty tales: think ALLEGEDLY, ONE OF US IS LYING, THE DARKEST CORNERS, ALL OF THIS IS TRUE, WE WERE LIARS, etc. (4/13)

#mswl 2019: Smart, hold-no-punches YA contemporary. One of my favorite titles of 2018 was SADIE by Courtney Summers so if you’ve written something like that, yes please! Other favorite recent contemporary YA: Nina LaCour’s WE ARE OKAY, Angie Thomas’s THE HATE U GIVE. (2/13)

Writers: I am hungry and excited to sign new clients in 2019, so if you're querying a MG or YA, please consider querying me! You can learn how to do so here: parkliterary.com/get-in-touch/ #mswl #askagent #tenqueries #mg #ya

Definitely on my #mswl for 2019 - subversive stories that will make me laugh!

Just a reminder that if you've written something you're comping to SADIE and are now querying it, PLEASE SEND IT TO ME!!! #mswl #PLEASE

And this is also still true of my #mswl -- I still want all of your secretive characters and the skeletons they're hiding in their closets!

Also still very true! High on the #MSWL right now is high concept middle grade!

#mswl: still on the hunt for these middle grade stories!

Still true! #mswl #vampires

This book sounds great (and perfect for fans of @EBain)! Definitely anything like this is on my #mswl for this fall! Historical with a magical twist? Yes, please!

#tenqueries takeaways: 1) I'm getting a lot of YA fantasy, but I still like it. 2) though these particular thrillers weren't right for me, I'm interested in character driven adult and YA suspense/thrillers and would be eager to find a big, irresistible one. #mswl

Same for sure. #mswl ⚰️💉

Some #tenqueries takeaways: I LOVE secrets. I want all of your secretive characters *and* all of the skeletons in their closets. #mswl

I know I'm not going out on a limb here by saying how much I loved HELLO, UNIVERSE, but I read it this weekend and good heavens I loved it! If you are querying a MG like this, please send it my way. This book was amazing, and my heart belongs to Gulliver. #MSWL
