In YA contemp: quirky, smart cast w funny, relatable circumstances. Perkins, WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI, PS I LOVE YOU, Dessen…laughter! #mswl

In adult: myth/fairytale/folklore-inspired fantasies. UPROOTED, DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST, QUEEN OF BLOOD have rich, fairytale worlds. #mswl

#mswl MG manuscripts are always run by my 5th grader. Make her laugh and it's a very very good sign. ;)

Something vengeful. #MSWL

Something joyful. #MSWL

It's #MSWL day!! I'll be posting throughout the day, so keep an eye out. But let's start with #ownvoices in YA and adult.

In adult: moral issues in women’s fiction! Picoult is an excellent example, taking taboo/difficult topics & bringing them to light. #mswl

I still want this. Civil War or Rev War, and very much grounded in reality. More magical realism than fantasy. #mswl

In adult: quirky, fun, authentic romcom chick lit. I'm a sucker for traveling meet-cutes and office romances. #mswl

Wait, that's what *I* want! Come to think of it, everything on your #MSWL is what I want...

#MSWL I'm always looking for quirky historical nonfiction (all ages) with a strong platform! agentstaceygraham.com for sub information.

Absolutely looking for #ownvoices and #diversebooks (especially in MG and YA). #MSWL

Literary fiction that challenges you to see the world differently #MSWL

#MSWL immersive, epic YA HF a la All The Light You Cannot See. if #ownvoices even better. #tellyourstory

Strange and beautiful novels featuring magical realism elements (adult and YA) #MSWL

I’m looking for books that are big on: imagination, escapism, other-worldiness, nerdy inspiration, high emotional stakes. #MSWL

Smartly written diverse YA of all kinds (contemporary, fantasy, historical), adult historical featuring women who defy norms #MSWL

#mswl Would love a dual-twin/triplet story a la THIS IS US in any genre I represent

Non-fiction featuring innovative thinking about how we live our lives and on creativity #MSWL

Retellings (adult or YA) that are whip smart and full of complex, rich characters (think Jane Steele), YA verse novels #MSWL
