In MG, I'd love to see a fun girl-driven adventure story, like a MG Indiana Jones. Diverse leads & authors very, very welcome. #MSWL

I've been obsessing over CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND recently, and would love to see a YA comedy that balances earnest/sweet with funny. #MSWL

A romantic comedy that is actually both romantic and funny and maybe even high concept, a la my favorites the @fuggirls ROYAL WE. #mswl

A scary, funny YA novel about a banshee. Think Crazy Head meets Teen Wolf (if Lydia was the protagonist). #mswl

Would love to find more outrageously funny, very present narrators. Think Gidwitz, Snicket... but also things like Jane the Virgin. #MSWL
