YA mystery/suspense:
I want some on both sides of the spectrum: light and dark.

Something in the vein of Sadie, Behind Her Eyes (but YA), and Knives Out. But also something ala On My Block, Outerbanks, or Scooby-Doo, haha.

I love treasure hunts and heists btw!

Diverse, IR romances and romcoms:

I want both MCs to be POC and the relationship to be multi-cultural &/or multi-ethnic pls! IR can exclude WASP ppl.

For this think Someone Great, Lovebirds, Photograph, Talia Hilbert, Jasmine Guillory, Honey Girl

Gothic/Dark Academia:

Think Crimson Peak, Edgar Allen Poe, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Mexican Gothic, Ninth House, Ace of Spades, dark Gossip Girl, & Addams Family!

Give me a heavy atmosphere & aesthetic.

How I would KILL for a BIPOC Yellow Wallpaper x Haunting of Bly Manor

So #writtingcommunity & #amquerying folks, I'll be re-opening to queries September 1st! 👀

That means it's time for an updated #MSWL!!

I'm moving away from fantasy right now and want to see the following from BIPOC writers:

#MSLW I've seen queries before w/ worlds where water is scarce. Would love to see something like this in the YA or even MG space when I reopen to queries. You can always put something like "#MSWL For YA drought-world book" or whatever the MSWL is in the referral space.
