Something I’m keen to see more of in my submissions inbox this year is epic fantasy and sci-fi, MSWL thread, 1/?

OK here's a free idea from my personal wishlist: a middle grade or YA graphic novel about drama and infighting in a school choir. Doesn't that sound delicious?

#MSWL I'd love a non-Western✨ vampire ✨book.
MG, YA, & Adult all welcome.
For MG: likely adventure/fantasy based w/magic and/or non-Western mythology.
For the rest: fantasy set in a non-Western world w/sharp stakes & a romance.
Could be 1st or 2nd world fantasy.

#MSWL In YA (& MG), more "study/adventures abroad" books featuring teens in non-American locations, especially if the locations are non-Western and the stories star really robust casts of BIPOC characters.

#MSWL Basically any rom-com or romantasy (adult, new adult, or YA) that can give me CRAZY RICH ASIANS vibes.
And I'm also looking for YA in *any* category that can do the same.

#MSWL I'd also love a YA story about high school tennis players. Give me fun, give me rivalry -- bonus points if it can also pull off TWEET CUTE vibes!

#MSWL : sports romances! Especially queer and/or BIPOC.
I was hugely into sports as a kid and am specifically looking for super fun rom-coms in this area that'll give you all the feels! (No preference on which sports are featured!) Adult, New Adult, and YA welcome.

Anything that feels like GARDEN SPELLS or THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA is very much up my alley. ✨ #MSWL

I’d love to work on a Model UN graphic novel! I was a Mary-Kate and Ashley girlie growing up and so I basically just want Winning London but as a YA graphic novel. #MSWL

I’d love to work on a quirky heist book for the adult market, like DIAL A FOR AUNTIES meets Oceans 11. #MSWL

Fanfic ruined me for the workforce because what you mean I CAN’T make a living out of being a quirky bookstore owner whose hours of business vary depending on their mood and whether or not the hot florist from across the street is sleeping over? Heartbroken.#MSWL but make it YA
Literary Agent
I am just an agent, shouting to the writing void, that I really want a YA fantasy. #MSWL
