Hi, yes. I would love a YA with romantic elements in the vein of The Half of It. The friendships, the family dynamics, the burgeoning relationships, and the personal growth gave me alllll the feels. I want to feel that again. Single POV, I’m thinking. HFN that feels HEA. #mswl

I want ensemble casts, and caring parents, and supportive friends in these books. Less Chosen One, more teamwork, community, and we’re all in this together. And I’m getting sappy so it’s bedtime 😅

I love ROMANCE obviously so send me your swoony kissy stories (queer ones too)! But also send me books about best friends, and fiercely loving siblings, and all sorts of relationships.

I am open to queries for all ages, fiction and nonfiction, for graphic novels, but especially love when a book has strong themes of love and/or friendship, and is extra queer. #gn #mswl #queer #lgbtq

I hope to continue to see excellent YA mysteries and thrillers, Romance and Big Friendship stories (or any intersection of the two that permeates high school!), MG adventure and sleuths, and historical fiction that tackles big issues in very personal and direct ways #mswl

Also on the adult end I would love to find commercial and upmarket friendship focused stories that really show the complexities of modern female friendship--good bad ugly and everything in between #mswl

I really want an upbeat, playful femme/non-binary friend squad just figuring out life & supporting the heck out of each other. Generally also looking for stories with conflicts that test the group dymanics but make them stronger as they work TOGETHER to overcome obstacles #MSWL
