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

And finally if you have chapter book or middle grade book that uses humour, adventure, fantasy, sci-fi or any combination thereof to help little kids explore their big feelings like in COCO and OVER THE MOON, please send me your work. #mswl

If you’ve got a middle grade or YA high-concept fantasy where the diverse cast of protagonists try their best to be good and kind in the face of evil, like in THE DRAGON PRINCE, my inbox is open! #mswl

If you have #historicalfiction about kids and/or teens coming of age at a pivotal moment in history, like in THE GET DOWN, get at me. #mswl

If you have a #middlegradebook about strong-willed competitive girls and the trouble they get into with friends and rivals, like in FREE REIN, query me. #mswl

#mswl cont ⬇️

In YA, i still love most genres and everything from light to dark. I love hope and depth and humor and stories that can change lives, whether from joy or empathy and validation. More specifically:

1. Super high concept contemporary and speculative contemporary

#mswl cont ⬇️

7. Queer and trans/nonbinary characters in fun settings, especially trans femme characters.
8. Something just right for that tricky space between MG and YA

#mswl cont ⬇️

2. Commercial fantasy adventure series, ensemble casts with or without a talking creature or two
3. Monsters!
4. Contemporary family stories
5. LOL high concept, character-strong stories
6. Hooky, character-driven contemporary series

#mswl cont ⬇️

More specifically in MG, i love a great, accessible voice and humor across the spectrum, but also more serious literary stories. MORE specifically:

1. Madcap adventures in any genre

#mswl cont ⬇️

First thing to note is that I only represent MG and YA. I love every genre from light contemporary to high fantasy and everything in between. I don’t represent artists or graphic novelists and don’t typically represent verse.
