#MSWL YA romances set in other countries. Actually, just generally YAs set in other countries (but, like, wouldn't mind a romance in there 😉) (agented only) #editorvacation

For Carina Adores, some of the tropes that will grab my eye include attraction of opposites, cross class, fake relationship, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers, secret agenda, second chance, road trip, forced proximity, fairy tale retelling. Low angst stories only. #MSWL

#MSWL!!

If anyone feels inspired . . . or wants to make this into a book . . . and maybe uh #MSWL 🙃

uh, #MSWL

MC: *frantically looking for something in their room*

Alex: *sends message that MC left it in the kitchen*

MC: *grateful but refuses to show it* ALEX! Aren’t you supposed to NOT interfere???

Alex: What’s the point of watching you struggle??😭

Humor all around #MSWL

MC talking to themself or someone else: I’d really love to get ____

Agent: *helpfully sends links to sites that sell it*

MC: LEAVE. ME. ALONE. ALEX. Or I’ll expose you!

Agent: I’m just trying to help 🥺🥺

Genuine friendship eventually ensues. They meet in person someday #MSWL

Okay hear me out....YA novel w/ MC who somehow meets the FBI agent (or whatever group) assigned to monitor/watch MC (like how we all have one) and hilarity ensues. Agent is just trying to be helpful (like whenever MC is looking for something) and MC just so annoyed? #MSWL

I am VERY INTO the upcoming Kristen Stewart LGBTQIA+ Christmas movie and want to just drown myself in it. But I also want to read about bff Dan Levy finding love too; someone please give me a Dan Levy romcom. #MSWL

#MSWL across genres for both (agented only)

My #mswl in a nutshell

😭😭 I love this. My Christmas and birthday wish is to receive an f/f Labyrinth retelling. Thank you. #MSWL

Please to the Universe, might I have a Queen’s Gambit YA novel? #MSWL

Some additional more specific elements that often call to me within these below frameworks are Jewish representation, and themes of absent father/daughter angst or difficult mother/daughter dynamics. #mswl

I remain committed to my platform of sex positivity in YA, de-stigmatization of desire & sex, & inclusive (& intersectional!) representation for diverse sexual & gender identities.

On the YA side, whether fantastical or realistic, I gravitate toward books w/ high concept hooks and stories anchored in themes of identity, sexuality, & loss & grief. (Grief & sex can be complex labyrinths to navigate, as we know...).

Graphic & hybrid novels & series are welcome too! Some examples there from my past titles would be DORK DIARIES and THE OKAY WITCH. Quintessential MG stories about finding your way through the labyrinth of family, school, & friendship twists and turns.

First & foremost—epic, accessible, *character-driven* MG fantasy & adventure series! I’m excited to build series that could sit well alongside my previous projects like KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES, STORY THIEVES, THE UNWANTEDS, FABLEHAVEN.
