In YA & MG (incl GNs):
* Diverse contemporary stories that are authentic instead of trendy
* Novels that are by & about people whose tales are yet untold
* Soulful, insightful, & well-crafted projects
* Stories that leave me cackling 😆 or sobbing 😭 long after I've read THE END

I'd love to have in my inbox: a contemporary ya with voice for days, a strong hook, a lot of heart, and genuine humor. Preferably with queer, disability, and/or nd rep. #mswl

I am not looking for #PB, #CB, #ER, or Fantasy (2/3)

Thank so much for reaching out! I’m not currently considering crime novels. I’m looking for MG and YA sci fi, fantasy and contemporary, and romance (any sub-genre) #mswl

Another #MSWL from @EmilyKaitlinnn!

"I'm looking for heists, competitions, and assassin novels in MG/YA/Crossover Adult. With the vibes of Uncharted, The Mummy, or The Inheritance Games. This could be magical realism or fabulism, fantasy, or even really interesting contemp"

I'd love to see MG books about growing up along the lines of Turning Red, or a layered family story like Encanto — contemporary or with a magical element! #MSWL

For Middle Grade, I'm looking for voicey books with a lot of heart, and primarily contemporary stories. I'm open to books in verse as well as prose.

These are some of my favorite recent MG books. #MSWL

I would love to see some contemporary MG. One of my clients, @brooksbenjamin, wrote a book I absolutely love: My Seventh Grade Life In Tights. And THAT book reflects my current MG feels.

“Authentic contemporary YA like Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi, Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith, We Are Okay by Nina LaCour, and The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

More in fiction: joyous LGBTQ+ characters. Contemporary, literary takes on the Western that critique genre tropes. Speculative/magical realism elements that are grounded in the “real” world (think Nothing To See Here, The Pisces)

Happy #FlipPit! My #MSWL will go up next week on manuscripwishlist.com, but until then, here's the gdoc: bit.ly/janechunmswl

Seeking mostly #A with some #MG #YA #NA in #AC #CON #CLIFI #F #FIC #GF #GN #HF #LF #MEM #NF #SF #SPF #UF #UP #W #WF. See my MSWL for more details!

And final one for the night: cosplay medic heist/shenanigans/romance. I don't care. This is the contemporary blacksmith and I want to see it. #MSWL

In YA I’m looking for contemporary from underrepresented voices, grounded fantasy/horror/magical realism – always stories that have an engaging commercial plot, and deeper themes #MSWL #YA

I’m particularly eager for MG – contemporary stories, stories with a dash of magic, and more literary fantasy (the sort of books that are magical for kids and their adults) #MSWL #MG

I'll be open to general queries on June 1st 😁😁😁 You can read my #MSWL here on the ALA website: azantianlitagency.com/pages/team-ka.…

Sweeping multi-generational family saga set in another country with an empowered heroine - exploring themes of cultural identity, family conflict, history and motherhood. Would love a modern spin on it either through gender or contemporary themes #MSWL
