Oooo and I want books that make me laugh so hard I cry. Especially MG books and romance books.
Give me quiet books too that make you smile at the end (or cry). Especially in YA and Adult spaces. #mswl

@NaomisLitPix As a literary agent when you look at query letters, i.e. YA query letter, are there keywords that really stand out to you that peaks your interest in potential manuscript? Cheers.Hi Ronald! I think for me, it's the overall whole package that catches my interest rather than keywords in the query. But of course if I see my #MSWL comp titles or an #ownvoices story it does catch my eye.

Hi #amquerying, I have an urgent #mswl that needs to be addressed...
😉
I am seriously lacking anything and everything in the contemporary fiction space. Romance, Realistic (nonissue books), WF, RomCom, high concept book! I need them in MG, YA, and Adult categories.

I am still thinking about how THE PERFECTION & BLACK SWAN so creepily captured what it's like to take a passion too seriously. (I was a ballet dancer for 18 years, & BLACK SWAN was shockingly familiar.) I'd love a YA/adult horror novel about a dark obsession with the arts. #MSWL

“With non-fiction I want to learn something by accident, tell me a good story in a fun new way that keeps me thinking. I really enjoyed Carlo Rovelli’s SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

still don't understand where my limited series about the years cary grant and randolph scott lived together as "roommates" is pic.twitter.com/J5E2fzODMfOMG. This is great. I need a historical about Cary Grant and Randolph Scott in love. #MSWL

I’d love to see a story about a Typhoid Mary—someone who is a non carrier for a disease but the nexus for an outbreak and how that would play in to ones psyche #MSWL

I'm certain this will all work out just fine. theguardian.com/science/2020/j…Science fictions become realities. I'm fascinated by all the implications this has for good or otherwise. #mswl

Listening to podcast with @irin about the Weinstein trial. She says, regarding his defense strategy. “She said if Weinstein is convicted, then we'll have a world in which women will never be asked out on a date and never get the door held open for them.”Now I don’t represent genre romance, would love women’s fiction or YA about finding love after a sexual assault. #mswl

Knives Out was one of my favs this past year, and I would love to see more books like that: murder mystery/detective stories or really any classic subgenre with a contemporary, socially conscious twist. #MSWL
