Smart, sharp, intelligent writing will always catch my eye, in any YA/MG genre. As will rich, lush, lyrical prose if well-controlled. #MSWL

#MSWL a mystery/thriller whose protagonist doesn't drink, or has never drank. Although that might break the entire genre...

I love my stories to have a dynamic setting that becomes it's own character, stories that purport the "take me away" sentiment #mswl

Ok #mswl, let's go- #wf that centers around a dynamic family tragedy or event, but not necessarily from the widows POV (which we see a lot)
