I’ll be coming through queries this week and I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED a contemporary please. No rich kids, no white suburbia. Forget the standard girl-meets-boy.I want the mother/daughter dynamic of EMERGENCY CONTACT. A black/POC Kara Thomas. A raunchier-voiced rom-com #mswl

As a reader, I read widely and want to reflect that in my list. Diverse voices and characters are also very much welcome on my list. And, as always, I want the book of your heart (please send via your wonderful agent or future wonderful agent) #MSWL

@laurenspieller Are you also looking for a YA historical mystery and, getting uber specific, would also love to find a Filipino/Filipino American YA contemporary? :D What else should we try to find, Lauren?!But, like, really. #mswl

Hello, yes, while you are all paying attention because vampires, I would also love a diverse YA romantic comedy of sorts. (Think When Dimple Met Rishi or I Believe in a Thing Called Love) #mswl

#MSWL a totally delicious YA romantic comedy that is diverse; still trying to find my perfect Paris novel (YA or adult); a historical YA mystery (think Jennifer Donnelly's These Shallow Graves); magical realism 4-ever

Tempted to post a bunch of Olympian stories with #MSWL by saying, "This, but a YA novel." Like, don't you want to see a YA featuring a total bad*ss like Chloe Kim?
Editor
All of this talk about The Good Place really makes me want a YA featuring a Chidi character. #MSWL
Editor
Fantasy grounded in a contemporary world. (Think The Raven Boys.) #MSWL
Editor
YA (any genre) that features a character that would easily be invited to a dinner with Chuck Bass and Damon Salvatore. #MSWL
