yes of course i want all your GIDEON THE NINTH comps (my twin passions are dynamism of voice + gay girls with horrible little personalities) BUT the all-lyctor extra-dark academia supercut is the real #mswl

with all due respect to the totally understandable flush of kpop boy group romances, where is my #ownvoices kpop girl group thriller, give me the full frances cha here - the wealth of cultural knowledge, the sharp eye towards beauty, commodity, and performed intimacy #mswl

as we live through ever-more-horrific class differentiation irl i've been dying for some fricassee-the-rich horror about how claustrophobic and hideous most retreats of the wealthy are if you think about them for 2 seconds. house of usher on a private island or yacht when? #mswl

On the flip side, I love a wise elder dropping knowledge bombs on the next gen(s) to restore balance into family and the world. Read more here: bit.ly/pinaMSWL

For #YA contemporary, it’s the same idea minus going space bound & magical realism. Cultures are magical to me and there are so many to learn from. Show me transparency on love and intimacy in EMBROIDERIES, and the burden of familial obligations in IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU.
Literary Agent
For #YA SciFi, fantasy and contemporary, I love a trope where the younger generation is showing the older one a new way to thrive. Break generational trauma like in THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUIDEA DIVINA, and rebel to outer space to follow your own path in BINTI.
Literary Agent
•Think high concept sci-fi like Dreamfall Chapters (video game), where people are addicted to virtual reality and can't funciton in society.
•Dark fantasy themes with equally dark humor like Sweeney Todd and Dark Shadows. Tim Burton is a vibe.
Literary Agent
Show me the world through the character’s eyes and help me experience what they’re going through. I love fantasy woven into #SciFi. Like the beautiful world you’ve built, and then destroyed, I too want to be left with my mind blown, melted into a puddle on the floor or both.
Literary Agent
I want adult #SciFi that gut punches you into oblivion. Light on the Sci, heavy on the Fi. Destroy me with a rotini twist of an ending. Give me urgency and a sense of purpose of THE FIFTH SEASON blended with the quirk of THE FIFTH ELEMENT.

#MG
•Feel good adventure stories amongst friends like the Goonies.
•Quests with female protagonists that display bravery and perseverance that’s not in spite of gender.
•Solving age old mysteries that no one thought were real. Bring me prepubescent Indiana Jones.
Literary Agent
For #MG, I want whimsy. Regale me with lush world building and:
•Stories that explore magical family history (i.e., the Addams Family, 100 Cupboards, etc.)
•Anything having to do with the sea besides pirates!

Hello #writingcommunity. @jmcgowanbks isnt the last agent to tell you about their #MSWL. I aspire to his level. 1. QueryManager link: QueryManager.com/rpina.
In 2022, I'm focusing on building my #Adultfiction, #YA, & #MG lists with a majority of underrepresented voices.

Been watching everyone update their #MSWL for the new year and tbh...I looked at mine and updated a few new favorites, but my core wants and whims still stand true for now. I'm sure more whims will pop up sometime this year, and I'll adjust as they come!
