...will be all over it. Would love to see non-idealized depictions of polyamory and t4t romance. Think: Talia Hibbert; DIAL A FOR AUNTIES, by Jesse Q. Sutano, the Heartstopper books by Alice Oseman (for adults).

2: An evergreen desire: Books by Newfoundland authors that engage our culture, from ALL I ASK to FEBRUARY to OUR HOMESICK SONGS to NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE. Giv’er here, b’y!

...for kids are upsetting as all get out. Almost exclusively established authors and IP. I’m sorry, but I hate it.

As always: I always prioritize queries from LGBTQ2S+, disabled, chronically ill, and/or BIPOC authors. That applies to ALL my asks below, and I am grateful for all of you who choose to query me.

#MSWL Still looking for a #YA novel that would compare to The Wilds tv show on Amazon. Elements of survival + beachy + dynamics among groups of girls + mysteries.

I finished #CruelSummer recently, and I would adore a dual-POV #YA novel with not one, but *two* unreliable narrators like that show. (If you haven't seen, start for Gabrielle's "Dreams" in the opening scene, stay for the guessing games.) #MSWL

As always, anything at all in #YA that comps to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None with sparkles of fun, too, not just punishing. I'm picky on these, but looking so hard for one I love. If riddles are involved, that's a bonus. #MSWL

I took a class at Boston College ALL ABOUT Edgar Allan Poe, and I want your #YA that draws inspiration from his tales and poems 🫀 #MSWL

I want to read #YA and #MG set on boats (but not historical)! Give me your cruise ships, yachts, sailboats, catamarans, pontoons... (i'm running out of boat names I know) #MSWL

A guest on the episode of @WestWingWeekly that I listened to this morning described the show as “addictive, formative, and nostalgic.” That’s pretty much the exact formula I look for in my #MSWL #WritingCommunity

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Pop psychology & fun self help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“A middle-grade Wynonna Earp sff western is for sure on my #MSWL.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Calling all nonfiction writers #WritingCommunity #MSWL

"A few themes that I’m looking for in terms of nonfiction include: Privacy; Big Tech vs. Government; Flexibility, Climate Change, and Infrastructure. Bonus points if you’re conveying an original idea through a counterintuitive angle." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am pining for Halloween vibes big time—that old autumn yearning set in early this year—so ditto this. #MSWL

#MSWL Desperately looking for a YA contemporary with royalty in my query inbox #amagenting #amquerying
