#MSWL Lady Spies who use traditionally feminine skills (like knitting, or embroidery) to convey messages to their fellow spies. And bonus points, make it fantasy.

Similarly, stories that feel like fairytales or folklore, but are completely brand new. #MSWLAgent twin strikes again! Original fairytales for the WIN #MSWL

MG or YA NF from a scientist, doctor, engineer, etc. translating all your coolest research into something that will give young readers a leg up on saving our ship and assure them there are adults fighting the good fight right now #MSWL

Oh, and very big on my #mswl as I await cooler weather: YA and MG that feels somehow autumnal! Give me book-form crispy leaves and spiced cider (spiked or not), please. I love good, cozy stories.

I love the show UNWRAPPED. I would totally be down for a NF like that. #MSWL

I'm extremely inspired by Greta Thunberg, and if you happen to have a character like her save the world, I think we could all use that about now. #MSWL

YA Count of Monte Cristo--I love the intricacy of the plot and also justice stories with excellent character arcs.
(And I don't like the movie. Just the book.)

Disclaimer: I'm not a great fit for Fae/Fairie, Elves, or Werewolves. Just not my cup of tea (probably odd ogres or trolls in there, too). #MSWL

And again, I'm calling for mermaids! Creepy, creature mermaids and sirens. Darkness. I'm not talking Disney here. I wanna see the grit and the turmoil from the beings sailors once feared #MSWL

I realize this is super specific, but that's what #MSWL is for!I'd love a middle grade that plays with how we can never be 100% sure what others are thinking--and, if it comes with something like an objective social interpretation machine, all the better.
In fact, I tend to love characters who find an objective way to interpret the things humans can never fully understand. If this goes with the last tweet, great! If not, still here for this. #MSWL

Still looking for an Adult contemporary with a therapy group for those who fake being kidnapped by aliens... only to have one member disappear and spark conspiracies 😉 if y'all don't write it, I might have to myself #MSWL
Literary Agent
Okay, I think that's everything for now. If you have stories that fit these desires, please query me. #MSWL
Note the following:
I'm ONLY open to MG & YA.
Include both a query and synopsis.

Can I please have modern witches? I mean, witches who are living their lives, drinking tea, wearing certain gemstones for certain qualities, hanging herbs in the kitchen, concocting healing spells and ones that help you not fall asleep in exams. Modernize! #MSWL

More #MSWL: YA with "high stakes" low stakes a la Sally Rooney with a relationship that is so emotionally charged that one text or e-mail might just mean the end of the world. Across all genres, not just contemporary!
Literary Agent
Unlikely pairings for YA rom coms, please. Give us the couple no one expects will get together, and then make them happier than everyone (even if it takes awhile to get there). #MSWL

You know what? I want a medieval mystery (series?) where the MC is a justice of assize or a coroner or an escheator or (even better!!!) the wife of one of those guys #MSWL
Literary Agent
I want Urban Fantasy with myths and legends based far out of the usual commercial scope. Give me South American creatures, the Philippines, Eastern Island, New Zealand. What's the boogeyman there? I want to know! #MSWL

Psychology works with a clear focus, accessible language, and a narrative component, like Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, would be of great interest to me, too. #MSWL
