And in YA fantasy, I’m always looking for a lush, fully realized world that feels fresh and new somehow—but also for compelling characters who will root the reader in the story. I’m always game for a really inventive, smart magic system, too. #MSWL

Fantasy was my first love as a reader, so I'm always seeking that in MG & YA, too! On the MG side, I'd love to find "modern-feeling classics" that evoke the spirit of Ella Enchanted, or humorous, wry voices in the Dealing with Dragons vein. #MSWL

I'd also love to find mind-bendy, genre twisting stories that feel in the vein of my recent Netflix obsessions Black Mirror, Russian Doll, The OA, and Dark. That obviously includes a huge range, but they're all contemporary-rooted stories with speculative elements woven in. #MSWL

In tandem with that, I just wached the series finale of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and I really loved the way Rachel Bloom wove Rebecca Bunch’s Judaism into a bigger narrative (and of course, THE MUSICAL NUMBERS)—I’d love a book about a teen version of that character! #MSWL

Firstly, I'm really eager to find more Jewish voices, across categories & genres. I have a stronger interest in contemporary (for YA, rom-coms included!) or sci-fi/fantasy stories that features Jewish characters. I've found I'm not usually the right person for historical. #MSWL

Hey agents! I'm raring to acquire lots of new and exciting projects at the moment (PB through YA), so I'm going to post my latest #MSWL today.(authors, as a heads up, I don't accepted unsolicited subs at this time!)

#MSWL Spine-chilling diverse horror, adult and YA

Remember #FeelGoodFriday for the first of the month? Well last week it didn’t happen - April Fool’s! So instead, today I’m sharing a story about a teacher wearing a dress covered in her students’ doodles. #picturebook anyone? #PBchat #MSWL

I WANT THIS #MSWL

"I would LOVE to read a YA contemporary novel about a teen birder. Anyone out there writing one? Query me." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Yes I’m aware I’m late to the party, but I can’t remember the last time I fell in love with a protagonist as hard as I fell for Eleanor Oliphant. Send me your brilliant, satirical, messy, utterly lovable heroines taking charge of their own lives #mswl

Now someone send me a YA contemporary with a character like Stephanie appearing on the high school Jeopardy tournament! 👍🏼 I love stories about smart girls! #mswl

Thanks to a wonderful editor chat today and watching fab tv...

Anyone got vampires like #WhatWeDoInTheShadows? Give me that humor!!!!! #MSWL

I don’t know how to translate this look into book form but I want it #MSWL

I have just realized that one of my absolute favorite things in middle grade is suspicious, secret architecture in weird old houses. Secret passage? Yes, please. Hidden staircase? Thank you, ma’am. Mysterious hallway to nothing? I’ll take two. So, you know, #MSWL for that.

This but as a YA novel pls and thank you! #mswl

Still looking for a reality dating/other can't-take-your-eyes-away trashy reality show novel. Give me escapism! Fist fights! Swoony Romance! Murder? #mswl

#mswl

I'd like to read a fun MG mystery! #mswl

Today's #MSWL belongs to Katie Bouman, she's kind of a big deal. Her story and those like hers thrill me. #WomenInScience #Discovery
