Speaking of which, if anyone sends me a YA that feels like HBO's GENTLEMAN JACK, it's possible I'll die of happiness #MSWL
Editor
Would also still love some fun, swashbuckly, queer/feminist/all of the above YA historical fiction (with or without magic) #MSWL
Editor
I always love books that play with structure, format, and narrative conventions. I'd love something that does for a YA or MG narrator what (stay with me) FLEABAG did for the fourth wall in TV. #MSWL
Editor
You'll have noticed that I've acquired a fair amount of queer YA lately and I am not! done! Always looking for more LGBTQ+ characters for both YA and MG audiences, and no, it does not have to be a rom-com! #MSWL
Editor
I'm dying for more fun, FUNNY, escapist YA with a killer one-sentence concept. The mood is 100% Red, White, & Royal Blue with younger characters. #MSWL
Editor
YA fantasy is evergreen, but what I want to see is where the genre is going next. A more contemporary direction, a new take on paranormal, twists and turns on some heavy-hitting elements like dragons, gods, monsters, the nature of story? Bring it to me!! #MSWL

Hi, #MSWL Day! Agents, as many of you know, I'm acquiring a range of YA and MG (open to fiction, narrative nonfiction, and graphic novels), and I'm still looking for a lot of the things I've tweeted about on this hashtag in the past! twitter.com/search?q=(%23Mβ¦

Thrilled to see 2019 already trying to make witches happen. Multigenerational, feminist, family-heavy witch book for YA or MG? Do want! #mswl
Editor
Always here for more queer YA! ESPECIALLY bi/pan rep. #mswl

You all know I love fantasy. Looking for things that feel a bit out of the box now. Contemporary fantasy, maybe? YA urban fantasy? An update on Harry Potter? I donβt know; surprise me. #mswl

Oooh, #MSWL day! I donβt have a ton of time to pop in today, but check out past tweets or my (up-to-date!) post on the site, linked in my profile. But while Iβm here...Bring me a YA romance that reads like your favorite fanfic. High-concept premise (fake relationship? Austen retelling? Whatever!), slow burn, Big OTP Energy. #mswl

Why are there not more YA novels about teen Olympians, I ask you? pic.twitter.com/7MavGmwKRQSUCH #mswl
Also, @CaelaCarter's TUMBLING is this for women's gymnastics and it's awesome

Hi I stayed up too late reading @ArsenaultRivera's THE TIGER'S DAUGHTER. It is GREAT; agent friends, pls send me YA w/ DNA in common! #mswl
Editor
Getting this question a lot, so agent friends: I've been on a MG kick lately, but yes, I AM still looking for (fresh, hooky) YA! #MSWL

Maybe a YA fantasy about the lowly shop sweeper or something? Give me a literal "nobody" and make her story remarkable w/o royalty. #MSWLYes!! A YA like THE REAL BOY or WING & CLAW would slay me!! #MSWL
Editor
Can I get The Bold Type in YA novel form? Friendship girl gang! Supportive of one another's ambitions! Making big mistakes! #MSWL
