In contemporary romance I’m especially hungry for a story where gender expectations are subverted, so something like a celebrity with a female bodyguard or a prince who is saved by a princess (ahem, Harry and Meghan anyone?). #mswl 4/

Agents—I’m on the hunt for more #MG! I am most drawn to contemporary coming-of-age stories, featuring underrepresented voices, characters who are navigating typical “firsts” (crushes, first periods, etc.), strong friendships, sibling and intergenerational relationships. #MSWL
