Graphic novels across the market, but see 🧵 for general themes that I’m interested in.

Literary / commercial-literary erotica. Especially if bi / queer.

‘Accessible’, light historical - both commercial-literary & literary, across adult & YA markets. Especially non-Western.

Pondering my current #mswl. I’d still love to see some high-concept YA romance (if queer then all the better) that addresses the climate crisis… ecological, possibly international, could be a version of our world, could be fantasy?

More #ownvoices queer and trans love stories in YA would be excellent! And YA graphic novels, too.

...trans characters; incidental working-class backdrops; all kinds of BAME stories...give me life in all it's beautiful variation! My inbox is still not showing me this, so at JULA we're cooking up ways of removing this barrier that still must exist for writers submitting to us.

Always, always, #ownvoices stories from under-represented writers and characters – including neuroatypical protagonists; characters with visible and invisible disabilities; stories involving unpaid carers and young carers; the broadest definition of queer love / sex stories...
