Also putting it out there that I am DYING for a sexy YA ballet book from a boy dancer's POV. My working title: FOUETTES FOR DAYS. #mswl

It's been nearly four years and I'm still dreaming of this project. Someone please write me FOUETTES FOR DAYS. I'd love the teen male POV on ballet with some drama and romance. #MSWL

I would love to find something in my queries that gives me those Friday Night Lights and Parenthood feels. Some contemporary YA that tugs at my heartstrings, makes me cry, and then smile to wash away the tears. #MSWL

I get *so* many requests for trans guy books on the LGBTQReads Tumblr and giving the same 10 titles over and over again is getting really sad. If you're a trans guy even thinking about writing an #ownvoices book, I really, really hope you do it.

And when you write it, please send it to me to rep! #mswl

I'm also looking for format bending YA reading experiences. Think a YA HOUSE OF LEAVES or ILLUMINAE. #MSWL

Not currently accepting unagented subs, but actively looking for MG and YA graphic novels that are funny and diverse. #MSWL
