Please send me a YA that feels like this Langston Hughes poem.
#MSWL

Boy books for a YA audience. #MSWL

*tbh I'd love to see a character like Stiles from Teen Wolf, bonus points for a father/son relationship like he has with his dad and strong friendship dynamics.

For YA, I'm open to most topics, and I'm especially seeking these:
-post-Roe repercussions
-the dark side of momfluencing (from the kid's POV)
-contemporaries for the Emma Lord/Rachel Lynn Solomon audience from BIPOC voices
#MSWL

I would LOVE to find an irreverent and messy contemporary upper MG or young YA in the vein of "Never Have I Ever." #MSWL

I'm always open to YA or MG in verse! I prefer blank verse, and I'm looking for a cohesive story with a strong point of view. #MSWL

I'm seeking more horror in 2025! Adult, YA, or MG, send me your spooky stories.

I also love social commentary in the vein of YELLOWFACE.

#MSWL

And finally, since I'm not seeing many of these in my inbox, I'd like to put out a call for Indigenous stories, and not limited to the US region. No limits on the topic either - I'm seeking Indigenous stories of any topic for all age groups (MG, YA, adult). #MSWL

I'm always on the look out for friendship stories and messy young women! #MSWL

On the YA side, this spans from NOTHING BURNS AS BRIGHT AS YOU to A LESSON IN VENGEANCE.

On the adult side, think QUEENIE or REALLY GOOD, ACTUALLY.

Horror! I'd love to see more YA horror in my inbox, and I'm also opening up to adult horror!

For adult, I'm particularly interested in horror with a social commentary focus.

I'm also open to non-horror social commentary, like YELLOWFACE.
#MSWL

As always, I'm seeking MG in verse and MG that addresses mental health. I'm also open to these things in YA. I tend to favor blank verse. #MSWL

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

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

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

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

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

MG, YA, or adult with a magical bakery. #MSWL

YA with the concept of The Dread Pirate Roberts, perhaps gender-flipped or queer. #MSWL
