Everyone is looking for non-fiction across all ages PB-YA. I would love to find some great MG and YA narrative non-fiction or memoir. Untold stories and POVs throughout history or STEM! #MSWL

I would love to find a teen pregnancy YA project in fiction or NF. I went to a HS with a daycare for student babies and teen pregnancy was a reality for students at my school. I want to see those stories. #MSWL

I’m in the mood for a YA romance with an amazing first kiss. Girls kissing boys, girls kissing girls, boys kissing boys. Any combo of gender and sexual identity works for me. I just want to swoon. #MSWL

What happens to the kids AFTER they win Masterchef or Top Chef Junior and they go back to real life after being on tv for three months? Do they feel pressure to go to culinary school when they are 17 after spending months saying that's their dream at 11? #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'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

Agents, if any of you have a YA House of Leaves on your list, please let me know! #MSWL

Submissions are starting to trickle in. Here we go! Right now, I'm looking for picture books, MG, & YA with strong visual components. #MSWL
