refreshing a relevant thread on this beautiful #MSWL day:

I'd love to see more true crime books that speak to a broader social issue, with a strong platform. #MSWL

#mswl Contained/closed-room mysteries or thrillers with an SFF or historical setting

#MSWL HORROR. Especially if you can comp The Luminous Dead

I always want #ownvoices books. If a book isn't #ownvoices I'm much more hesitant to take it on. #MSWL

#mswl A found-family heist team with great worldbuilding a la THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA with a more female-heavy cast

Mixed Media/Epistolary/Other Unique Forms—I love stories that are told in unique formats like letters, emails, texts, transcripts, journal entries, etc. #MSWL

#MSWL arranged marriages, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers —in a fresh SFF setting!

#mswl - YA thrillers and mysteries. If you comp to ONE OF US IS LYING, MONDAY'S NOT COMING, or SADIE, please -- query me!

#mswl A darker #MG fantasy--think The Bartimaeus Trilogy

A little too busy for a long #MSWL thread - but I always want high concept, X meets Y, big ideas books across the age ranges, packed full of humour and fun. Characters must be determined, goal oriented, chipper. I want joyful books. Books that make me smile. Nothing joyless!

A thread of more specific #mswl items I'd love to see:

A #YA about lady knights with the feel of SONG OF THE LIONESS/Alanna of Trebond

I'm always looking for culturally relevant stories that won't be out of date five years from now. In other words, focus on the social issue, not the specific people involved. This goes for fiction and nonfiction. #MSWL

Always and forever looking for #ownvoices and contemporary stories that reflect today's world and the issues kids face every day in a powerful way. #MSWL

#MSWL high-concept MG fantasy w/ series potential, preferably with a female MC

Still looking for a picture book about a cat and its enemy/best friend the Roomba. #MSWL

I'm always looking for crime / mystery / thriller subs of all sorts, both contemporary and historical. If you've got a project in the vein of Sherry Thomas, Tana French, Attica Locke, Jane Harper, or Louise Penny, I'd love to see it. #mswl

I love clever, quirky formats! Have a book that breaks the fourth wall like Fleabag? Telling the story at different times through different characters like I’ll Give You the Sun? Have a narrator like Lemony Snicket? Please send it! #MSWL

Devotionals—I’d love to represent more concept-driven devotionals. I represented a knitting devotional called Knit, Pray, Share and loved the specificity of it. Would love to do more devotionals with unique hooks! #MSWL

Very high on my #mswl is a YA romcom or a sweeping YA love story!
