✨#MSWL for trans voices in that comp @ryka_aoki's The Light from Uncommon Stars. I'm blown away not just by the voice, but by the originality of the story, the heart, the narrative scope. It's breathtaking. We need more trans joy in SFF. Send them my way.

If you think it's "unrealistic" for YA books to not have romance in them because of the target audience as a WHOLE, you're basically throwing aromantic-spec readers into the ditches to cater to alloromantics. Which tells me you don't think allos can handle having no romance.My sophomore in HS kid loathes any romance in books/tv etc and as a YA AGENT it can still be hard to find books for her without romance elements. I welcome them in my subs whether it’s ACE rep or just didn’t call for romance! #mswl
