In terms of genre, my favorites (in no particular order) are: mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, hist-fic. I love a genre mash-up. #MSWL

Fantasy that uses American folklore – Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan etc – as part of its DNA. #MSWL

YA, MG and PB projects that are feminist in nature. #MSWL

YA and MG projects that are heavily illustrated; hybrid graphic novels. #MSWL

YA or MG historical fiction about the Cold War in the 50s and 60s, esp in non-European/American settings. #MSWL

I’m fascinated by how our siblings affect who we become. Give me close, intense, layered sibling relationships in YA. #MSWL

YA novels that include a complex but ultimately positive mother-teen relationship. So often I see toxic mothers, want something else. #MSWL

Diversity! Diversity! Diversity! All kinds of diverse stories and writers. #MSWL

A YA novel that will start conversations; change and open reader’s minds. #MSWL

I reopen to queries 10/2! #MSWL: Mystery with modern feel that harkens back to the Golden Age of Marsh, Christie, Sayers

#mswl I'd love a great Gothic romance. You bring the barefoot nightgown-clad heroine, and I'll bring the dimly-lit castle hallway.

#MSWL: ghosts all day, every day. #MG writers, this is exactly the type of story I'm looking for. :)

"Dark, feminist fairy tale retelling. The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter for #YA (novel though, not stories)." @msmariavicente #MSWL

Err...where are the #RomComs? C'mon people! Think: modern, Brit, YA version of 'When Harry Met Sally'/'10 Things I hate About You' #MSWL

#MSWL

Teen/tween code breaker is definitely a #MSWL !

OMG! #MSWL I WANT JEAN GREY!

Tackling an emotional subject that could get banned? #MSWL (P.S. Some of the books on this list aren't about sex) nyti.ms/2ysgWVC

How Technology Has Changed News Photography Over 40 Years --> true also for how kids learn photography. #YA #MSWL nyti.ms/2fzeTv4

I reopen to queries 10/2! #MSWL: transportive historical fiction with a new time and place, and/or family/historical saga a la Kate Morton
