I'd also like some upmarket fiction that revolves around an event that changes a group of people. #MSWL

#mswl Something with the fun #DnD vibe of #CriticalRole or The Adventure Zone. Could be straight fantasy or a mix of game narrative and "IRL" plot about the group of gamers.

Thing I’ve noticed: my YA list skews more girl, and my MG list more boy. I’d like to balance that, but still maintaining my overarching tastes: high concept, good plots, not-issue-books, joy and exploration and fantasy (both literal and just escapism). #MSWL

Also, those kinds of books tend to be big on action and light on characters, which isn't my thing. So even if it was really YA, I probably wouldn't be interested. #MSWL

#mswl Lesbian pirates, either historical or fantasy. I've seen a number of queries like this, but none have quite clicked with me so far. Still hoping!

If the title of your book is SO AND SO AND THE SOMETHING SOMETHING, it probably isn't right for me. Why? Because most of those books are MG, which I don't rep. Some people will mis-categorize these books as YA, but when I read it, it's usually a younger voice. #MSWL

YA mystery/thriller in the vein of ONE OF US IS LYING, TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET, or THE CHEERLEADERS. #MSWL

#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history

#mswl Character/relationship-focused spaceship or space station #SF--I'd love something with a Deep Space 9 feel

Happy #MSWL Day!

I would love to a funny and uplifting friendship break-up / make-up story, or a fraught and complicated friend break-up story (perhaps a thriller?). #MG, #YA, #Adult Surprise me! #MSWL

refreshing a relevant thread on this beautiful #MSWL day:

I'd love to see more true crime books that speak to a broader social issue, with a strong platform. #MSWL

#mswl Contained/closed-room mysteries or thrillers with an SFF or historical setting

#MSWL HORROR. Especially if you can comp The Luminous Dead

I always want #ownvoices books. If a book isn't #ownvoices I'm much more hesitant to take it on. #MSWL

#mswl A found-family heist team with great worldbuilding a la THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA with a more female-heavy cast

Mixed Media/Epistolary/Other Unique Forms—I love stories that are told in unique formats like letters, emails, texts, transcripts, journal entries, etc. #MSWL

Jumping on the bandwagon to say: I would love to see more fun, upbeat middle grade focusing on siblings, friendship, crushes, and/or that silly joy of tween schemes. Show me failed matchmaking, plotting that got out of hand, the awkwardness of a friend-breakup. #MSWL

#MSWL arranged marriages, marriage of convenience, enemies to lovers —in a fresh SFF setting!

#mswl - YA thrillers and mysteries. If you comp to ONE OF US IS LYING, MONDAY'S NOT COMING, or SADIE, please -- query me!
