For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.

I’m looking for an eco-dystopian thriller set in the near future, with a strong female lead and an original, compelling plot. Any ideas out there? #MSWL #literaryagency #literaryagent

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.

(3) YA dystopia - it’s time for the revival. incredibly high stakes, lots of action, multifaceted characters, maybe even a love triangle….?

I’m looking for ALL genres of MG and YA, but might be slightly prioritizing….
- MG magical realism
- MG animal fantasy
- YA fantasy/sci-fi (DYSTOPIA)
- YA contemporary
- YA thriller
- historical fiction OR alternate history in both age groups

#mswl 5. YA/NA crossover in sports heroes (think an updated Katy Evans’ Real series, Elle Kennedy), romance, dark romance or dark academia (think The Zodiac Academy series.) thrillers, and post apocalyptic or dystopian w/a fresh, unique idea.

MG, YA or adult, I'm always looking for high-concept, commercial reads. Great plots and hooks. Strong voices and characters in those well-drawn worlds and situations. I'm up for some genre blending. A rom-com in a dystopian world? Agatha Christie in space? Murder mystery and dragons? Do it.

#MSWL You can call it dystopian, near-future, 5 minutes in the future--whatever you like--but I'm looking for grounded speculative fiction in both YA and Adult with stellar prose, resonant and relevant themes, and deep character development.
