I, like everyone else, have been obsessed with "Anti-Hero" for months.

If your YA character would say "I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror," then hi, hello, I want to see your book. #MSWL

I'm still dying for a Do Revenge YA book!!! #MSWL

Lately, I'm obsessed with the podcast Normal Gossip. I'd love some fiction for any age that incorporates or relies on gossip - and not necessarily as a negative method of communication. #MSWL

I'd love a zeigtgeisty absurdist critique of modern inequalities (adult or YA) along the lines of White Lotus or Knives Out, ideally from the POV of marginalized characters.

Bonus points if it feels as unsettling as the White Lotus theme song! #MSWL

Anything like this poem, especially the last two lines. #MSWL

Speculative stories - I'm NOT a good fit for rigid dystopias full of government control and categorization of the populace.

Please send me speculative worlds that look like ours with One Big Change. Show me the human response to disaster, politics, or climate change. #MSWL

I'd really love to see more middle grade, particularly ones that tackle mental health and other difficult topics.

I'm also on a big MG in verse kick, and I'd like to see that in my inbox. #MSWL

#MSWL for literally any story answering this question.

I want this middle grade. #MSWL

I've updated my #MSWL on my website! Please take a look!

Also, can someone please tell QueryTracker I'm open to queries? I've been open since December 15 and eager to see all your wonderful projects. ☺️📚

I know I’m closing to queries soon, but I just watched Do Revenge and now I need a YA book like that in my inbox *immediately*
#MSWL

I'm always on the hunt for a laugh-out-loud, slow-burn rom com! #MSWL

I'd like a friendship thriller in the vein of Dead to Me. #MSWL

For adult, I'd love something along the lines of Evelyn Hugo but inspired by "The Last Great American Dynasty." #MSWL

In general, while I'm open to YA fantasy submissions, I would prefer fantasy that does NOT center around war, soldiers, or assassins. I love political intrigue, though, as well as emotional journeys. #MSWL

I'm very intrigued by tea magic! I'd love to see YA along the lines of A MAGIC STEEPED IN POISON. #MSWL

As always, I'm eager to read stories featuring supposed "unlikable" girls! Give me your vengeful sisters and your ambitious witches. #MSWL

I'm still looking for a great YA friendship breakup story, in the vein of Ashley Woodfolk and Amy Spalding, with or without a romance component. #MSWL

I'd be interested in a YA or MG cli-fi take along the lines of these photos.

In general, I'd like to see a YA near-future speculative take on where our world is headed. Light on the dystopia, heavy on the creative speculation. #MSWL

I'd love an upper MG with the emotion and humor and hijinks of Never Have I Ever. #MSWL
