Agents, I'm in the mood for some epic YA contemporary in my submission inbox! That moment that changed everything, that person that shifted the way you see the world, that secret you kept, or that summer you'll never forget. #MSWL

I would love to see a mash-up of Carnival Row and Sin City that fits into Mystic Owl's guidelines (up to 75k, or editable down to it). #MSWL #UF cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti… #querytip #querytrenches

I am not saying I want books exactly like these, or that if yours is different to these that I won't like it. I am just saying that I have loved all of these authors' books and admired their writing.

Tl;dr - I don't want to be restrictive, I might love your book, give me a go!

...like, but I can't account for how I will feel upon reading it
3. I am really rubbish at expressing my #mswl (I love reading other agents'/editors' lists!) and end up feeling like I am either not specific enough or far too specific!

Instead, I am going to list favourite (3/?)

2. I hate disappointing people. Recently I have seen authors saying, 'but I matched with the #mswl so why isn't it a yes?' Sure, your novel might contain something I have said I (2/?)

I am still planning to reopen to queries on 1st April and I am not going to state any #mswl. Here are my reasons:
