I love the quirkiness and humor and vibes of TAZ (The Adventure Zone) so much. So if someone wants to send me a YA about a bunch of friends doing their actual play/gaming podcast and just living their best lives I would be forever in your debt. #mswl

I want (more than anything) for those stories to be centered around black teens and teens of color who are passionate & creative & happy to let their geek flag fly. Stories with inclusive casts that are supportive, want to have fun & make a difference with their creations. #MSWL

πŸ“š Finally, I want entertaining, inspirational stories about fandom and geek communities. I'm looking for less fanfic & cosplay stories (unless they are super unique & have a killer voice) & more stories about video games, web comics, anime/manga, podcasts, film, and more. #MSWL

EVERYTHING! I love a good tournament arc, epic showdown & accidental/acedemic athlete (as long as they put in the work to get even better). Examples: Rock climbing, running, roller derby, rowing, chess, esports, board games, cooking, LARPing, ice skating . . . Surprise me! #MSWL

πŸ“š More diverse, inclusive sport & competition stories! Send me entertaining stories that make palms sweat & hearts race & inspire us to get out & try something new. Underdog teams, determined solo athlete, and everything in between are fair game. So what counts? #MSWL

I really want an upbeat, playful femme/non-binary friend squad just figuring out life & supporting the heck out of each other. Generally also looking for stories with conflicts that test the group dymanics but make them stronger as they work TOGETHER to overcome obstacles #MSWL

πŸ“š Contemporary, commercial YA with an upbeat voice, emotional stakes & a heart of gold! Send all the situational comedies, quirky coming of age & tried-and-true friendship/squad stories. #MSWL

Ashley Poston ✨ @ashposton

it's easy to write angst. making someone feel happy?

that's the real magic trick.

As much as I personally love all the angsty books and the genre books and the books that open the conversation for difficult topics and issues, what I really want right are books that are full of hope and love and offer that spark of joy to a reader when they need it.

Friends I have watched almost the entire 1st season of Haikyu!! and I cannot believe I've slept on it for this long. So good!! 🏐 pic.twitter.com/B1Ob58kuct

Also I #MSWL the heck out of these friendships & rivalries! I want more strong bonds, relationships that evolve & friends that make mistakes & learn together.

More characters who'll never stop fighting for their dreams because they know their friends are there to support them.

Publishing is an industry that has always had the power to amplify Black voices and we need to do better. I want to do better. Agents, please keep me in mind when you sign up some these stellar and important voices because I want to hear them.

Illustrated/graphic novel style non-fiction is something that I really want to see more of in my inbox!

Cookbooks and food are great, but I would love to see author/illustrator teams work on other topics as well like film, books, nature, science, pop culture, etc. #MSWL
