#MSWL Who must I sell my soul to for a fantasy retelling of A ROOM WITH A VIEW? The manners, the beauty, the romance. The whole book (and movie) feels like you've walked straight into an impressionist painting, and I want that but, like, with magic.

I'm not the right agent for stories that center on pregnancy, pregnancy/infant loss, or anything of the sort. If it's a small part, pls use a content warning.

Would also love a CW for animal death or animal cruelty. Not a no-no, but need a heads up! #MSWL #amquerying

I'm *not* huge on historical (and even '90s is historical now) or high #fantasy, portals, or chosen ones. But if you can really surprise me, I will give it a shot. #MSWL #amquerying

Love, love #YA girl friendships with bite -- and I don't mean vampires (though I could!). Think: Undead Girl Gang or Marlena for young adults. #MSWL #amquerying

ALWAYS want #YA whodunnits/mysteries that are puzzle-y or riddle-strewn and have touches of humor and lively characters in the spirit of Agatha Christie, like #TrulyDevious or the Inheritance Games series. #MSWL #amquerying

I'm looking for #YA survival stories in the vein of #Yellowjackets (the teen timeline), #TheWilds or even something like Wilder Girls. Questions! Mysteries! A hint at mystical or fantastical without going full fantasy. #MSWL #amquerying

I am open to #MG but fair warning, I am quite picky in this category. Voice for MG is very difficult (congrats to those who are great at it! *ahem* @vickithewriter) and it's almost always the reason I pass. #MSWL #amquerying

To writers who submitted before I closed last time: I still have a handful of outstanding full manuscripts that I am reading, and I will be getting back to everyone soon! Thank you for your patience and understanding through a busy fall and holiday season.

And to help #amquerying writers, here's some of my #mswl in a thread.

ALWAYS looking to partner with and support writers of color, writers who live with disabilities (me too!), neurodiverse writers, and otherwise underserved and underrepresented authors in #YA and #MG.

I would love to see more mystery novel submissions in the vein of @OnlyMurdersHulu. I adore the old-fashioned glamour of the apartment block setting (yet modern tone), the witty, off-beat characters & podcast that brings the 3 sleuths together. Also v. keen on @KnivesOut.

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl
