Been watching Reacher, wouldn't mind seeing more queries in my inbox with military personnel. #mswl

We'd love to see a fun YA adventure with unique & memorable characters. Send us your query if that's your book! brandyvallance.com / sara-kornienko.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #amquerying #mswl #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

#MSWL I'd love a non-Western✨ vampire ✨book.

MG, YA, & Adult all welcome.

For MG: likely adventure/fantasy based w/magic and/or non-Western mythology.

For the rest: fantasy set in a non-Western world w/sharp stakes & a romance.

Could be 1st or 2nd world fantasy.

YES PLEASE #MSWL

#MSWL In YA (& MG), more "study/adventures abroad" books featuring teens in non-American locations, especially if the locations are non-Western and the stories star really robust casts of BIPOC characters.
Think ONE TRUE LOVES, I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS, & LOVEBOAT, TAIPEI.

#MSWL Basically any rom-com or romantasy (adult, new adult, or YA) that can give me CRAZY RICH ASIANS vibes.

And I'm also looking for YA in *any* category that can do the same.

#MSWL I'd also love a YA story about high school tennis players. Give me fun, give me rivalry -- bonus points if it can also pull off TWEET CUTE vibes!

#MSWL : sports romances! Especially queer and/or BIPOC.
I was hugely into sports as a kid and am specifically looking for super fun rom-coms in this area that'll give you all the feels! (No preference on which sports are featured!) Adult, New Adult, and YA welcome.

Would love some BIPOC-led mysteries in my inbox!! #mswl

I’m very much in my cozy mystery era. #MSWL

Anything that feels like GARDEN SPELLS or THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA is very much up my alley. ✨ #MSWL

I’d also love to work on a MG or YA graphic novel set at a boarding school. #MSWL

I’d love to work on a Model UN graphic novel! I was a Mary-Kate and Ashley girlie growing up and so I basically just want Winning London but as a YA graphic novel. #MSWL

I’d love to work on a quirky heist book for the adult market, like DIAL A FOR AUNTIES meets Oceans 11. #MSWL

Since I’m opening back up to submissions soon, I’m going to tweet out a few MSWL things that have popped into my head while I’ve been closed…☺️ #MSWL

I am also in my romance era and just am ready to swoon. #MSWL

#MSWL but make it YA

I am just an agent, shouting to the writing void, that I really want a YA fantasy. #MSWL

Oh when I reopen #MSWL
