Your 'weird' or literary-leaning YA books may be for me. I'm interested in younger YA/teen as a category and would especially like to see contemporary, emotional novels (think John Green) and horror for readers aged 13+.

In contemporary YA, I’m a sucker for gorgeous, meticulously crafted prose—think E. Lockhart and Jandy Nelson. #MSWL

High heat contemporary romance and romantasy! (I’m always looking for low heat romance too, but I tend to see more of that in my inbox.) #MSWL

Contemporary novels in the upmarket and literary space! I love workplace novels, complicated relationships (platonic, romantic or familial), and second coming of age stories. #MSWL

I’ve answered all queries so I’m doing a soft re-open, narrowing down my #MSWL to focus on areas I didn’t receive many queries when I initially opened. I’d 🩷 to see your chapter books, MG: contemporary, MG: nonfiction, MG: novel in verse, YA: contemporary, & YA: novel in verse

I'd also like grounded fantasy or magical realism, sci fi, dystopian, paranormal, and select romance. Additionally, I'm seeking contemporary, coming-of-age stories with characters from low-income families and historical fiction featuring historically underrepresented identities.

I represent #kidlit of all kinds, but what I’m most interested in receiving in my inbox when we are #opentoqueries on 6/1 is: uplifting contemporary YA, non-fiction for all age groups written in compelling prose, projects from author/illustrators, and novels-in-verse! #MSWL

This might be an exception, but I’d be open to a cozy/or high tension contemporary romance that specifically has themes of nature, eco-centric premise, & lovely prose. Give me women in STEAM; Marine Biologists, conservationists, archeologists, park rangers, etc. #MSWL
