Just a reminder: I'm a huge fan of historical fantasy, especially if you've got a setting I haven't seen before. #MSWL

I am now a happy member of the Bent Agency family! Query me at clairequeries (at) thebentagency (dot) com.

I know you guys have agents but I am so #MSWL -ing this!!! 👍🏼

“Historical Fiction like WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING and THE GREAT ALONE. I like setting that feels like a character.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I love every book on this list (WICKED LIKE A WILDFIRE! THE SUMMER OF JORDI PEREZ! GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE!) and it reinforced my desire for a YA with a poisonous pastry shop #MSWL

Family sagas infused with magic, like @WriterLouisa's A Secret History of Witches or @EdenRoyce's "Every Good-Bye Ain't Gone" #mswl

#MSWL if you've got a novel with the sensibility of Gregg Araki, please send it my way. This man changed my life. (If you're queer and having seen THE LIVING END, please do.) vulture.com/2019/03/gregg-…

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible. What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

In YA there exist friendship breakup books. This is a hard fact of the teen years. It doesn’t end in adulthood. I’d like to see these books in women’s fiction. #MSWL

I want to be more specific about this #MSWL. I want something that gives me the nostalgia and friendship of The Sandlot (like this does) while also bringing in the awesome sci-fi adventure we see in Stranger Things. Don't comp if it's just sci-fi without the other elements.

Can confirm #MSWL
