High concept, diverse, FUNNY YA Contemporary. PLEASE! #mswl

#mswl adult romcom with house designer who teams up with metal or woodworker for specific project client has requested (think Joanna Gains and Clint Harp) #amagenting #querytip

#MSWL I'd love someone like J. Anderson Coats or Gail Carson Levine or Sherwood Smith.

#MSWL In MG, I want something timeless, yet quirky in the writing. The voice has to be dead center middle grade for me.

#MSWL I really want a psychological read. I loved TRULY DEVIOUS, BEFORE I LET GO, THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES, SEE ALL THE STARS. Something that keeps me working for that ending.

#MSWL I want more authors of color with great stories to tell, like EMBER IN THE ASHES.

#MSWL I love romance. Give me YA romance. Rom-coms, star-crossed lovers, slow burns, enemies to lovers. I want to be swept off my feet. Chemistry on the page is what I need to see.

#MSWL I would love something humorous and quintessentially teen like DERRY GIRLS.

#MSWL I would love to get a magical realism book. Something like SAWKILL GIRLS, or WICKED DEEP.

Well, I somehow missed December, but here's my visual #MSWL for this month. Send me books like these I can read in front of the fireplace this frigid January!

Renewing my #MSWL for atmospheric reads, and magical realism.

Honestly, I'd be up for either if it's well done, but I was thinking the gently creepy, film noir feel of CREEPY CARROTS, etc. (I just love the Vertigo-inspired spread!) #mswl

One thing I’d love more of in 2019: ‘girlie’ girls going on adventures. You can like dresses & have all sorts of adventures #mswl

Writers: I want to see a romance hero based on this fine man #mswl

My colleague @KarlyCaserza is OPEN TO QUERIES and building her #YA and #MG lists. #MSWL Her submission form: queryme.online/Karly #authors @FuseLiterary

I spent all weekend binging Sex Education on Netflix and now I want a YA just like it 🙏🏽 #mswl
