I want to be haunted by a book reading experience: to squee as the characters go through drama (love a good dramatic, well earned fight) and to not be able to shake the characters from my brain. #MSWL

Finally, what tropes make my heart go pitter and patter:
-enemies to lovers
-mutual pining (maybe mixed with enemies to lovers?)
-slow burn
-dark/sunny
-starcrossed lovers and love triangles (Team Jacob for the win!)

#MSWL

Also if someone can figure out how to give me a cozy mystery as a YA, I want it. #MSWL

So like apprenticeship style lives, college, figuring out what to do next #MSWL

Also might be controversial, I want post high school (summer before college, or the first "year" of college) type stories. But since not every kid goes to college, I want to see how the come of age by leaving childhood behind.
Looking for YA themes though, not "baby adult" #MSWL

And if you don't see something that sounds like your book, don't worry! Sometimes I only know I wants something once I have actually looked at it.

So #MSWL for unexpected things I didn't know I even wanted.

I want TED LASSO vibes, and Rian Johnson's KNIVES OUT vibes, and VERONICA MARS voicey #MSWL #YA

I want:
-ace romance
-mermaids that never go in the water
-Ren Faires
-magic worlds that are different from what we have been seeing.
#MSWL #YA

I want:
-Dark Whimsy/Cozy Magic
-Twisty murders (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-EPIC Romances (romantasy and romcoms and straight romances)
-Lush worlds and atmospheric writing. #MSWL #YA

But if we are going contemporary, I need to elevate it. Kit Frick is a forever comp, but if your book comps to TRULY DEVIOUS or FEMAL OF THE SPECIES, I would be here for it. #MSWL #YA

I am in the reading mood for fantasy right now. I want writing like Margaret Owen with the snap crackle and pop of Sarah J. Maas's characters #MSWL #YA

So I would love a writing style that vibes with these books: THE WINNER'S CURSE, THE GRACE YEAR, FINDING JUPITER, and BIANCA TORRE IS AFRAID OF EVERYTHING #MSWL #YA

Let's do a #MSWL thread for YA because I need more YA queries. Looking to sign more for my list.

I know everyone is into fungus rn, but when QM/QT gets up and running again, I really want to see some cool bug fiction and even nonfic - insects doing weird and creepy stuff, impersonating things, infecting things, inhabiting things. Gimmie your creepy crawlies #MSWL

Just landed in Bologna & excited for this year’s fair! Authors, I am looking for something new & exciting. My dream #MSWL is a YA Piranesi meets We Were Liars. If you’ve written such a masterpiece, please send it my way! Thank you! 🤗 💖 Sub guidelines at skylark-Literary.com
