High concept, commercial adult SFF like BLACK WATER SISTER; EMILY WILDE’S ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FAERIES; THE FINAL STRIFE; FOURTH WING; and LAST TALE OF THE FLOWER BRIDE. #MSWL

Hello! Just a #MSWL reminder as we look ahead to next year: I'm hungry for MG and YA across all categories, and particularly excited to find MG series/SFF/adventure and YA paranormal, contemporary, and thrillers/mysteries...and anything fun & soapy or spine-tingling & spooky!

#MSWL - Anything that feels high concept and cinematic in YA, whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary with a speculative twist. Stories with big “what if” premises.

#MSWL - MIDDLE GRADE. Any and all middle grade! I am hungry for it: standalone contemporary, sweeping fantasy series, sci-fi, horror, you name it. I’d love something high concept, like CITY OF EMBER, NEVERMOOR, ARU SHAH & THE END OF TIME, etc.

Closing out the day & week with a #mswl: I love middle grade adventure series (whether paranormal, sci-fi, or fantasy) with lots of heart & humor. If that's what you're querying, I'd love to see your project!

Continuing to put this out in the universe: my hope is to find a big MG series in the next few months: MG fantasy, adventure, paranormal, scifi, etc...something exciting & brimful of imagination and heart, with characters who are at once brave and vulnerable. #MSWL

I’d also LOVE a cool, cinematic spec novel or contained sci-fi. Something catchy, like “TITANIC but in a newly opened underwater resort” or FAST & FURIOUS meets I don’t know what... Basically, I love when the concept has a *wow* factor. #mswl

Monday #mswl thoughts: I would love to find an epic YA paranormal series or a sweeping, action-packed, high concept YA sci-fi series (but not necessarily set in space).

#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 - #ownvoices YA & MG fantasy and science fiction that combine a killer concept with a ton of heart.

#mswl - YA or MG with codebreaking! Perhaps historical, perhaps realistic, perhaps sci-if/fantasy.

(Very high on my) #MSWL - #ownvoices YA and MG fantasy, adventure, sci-fi, humor.

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

In February, I did an agent feedback giveaway. Here's what I saw: tmblr.co/Z1DsEu23-zs8k #askagent #mswl #amquerying

#mswl -- I am still looking for grounded sci-fi suspense stories like EX MACHINA, THE MARTIAN, etc. Query me!
