Other random elements I love: historical fiction, witches (historical and contemporary, but less on the humorous side), boarding schools, food, slow build romance, whimsy, retellings...#MSWL

#MSWL Retellings. But not like the ones we see all the time. And make it interesting. Make a commentary.
Literary Agent
#MSWL Still on the lookout for inventive fairytale or folklore retellings--especially stories that haven't been done often.
Literary Agent
Forever and always, more retellings of lesser known mythology, fairy tales, and classical lit. Especially if it blends with an unexpected genre. #MSWL

Sympathetic psychopaths, cult-y fiction, campus novels of all stripes, books tied to an unfamiliar professional world (ballet/restaurants/sports), upmarket #metoo novels, political conversation starters (a la American Marriage or The Mothers), a romcom with a fresh hook... #mswl...epic family novels, Eligible-esque retellings of classic stories! And more to come... #mswl

#MSWL I’d love to see some Latinx/Jewish contemporary YA... Or a retelling of Romeo & Juliet with the protagonists both devout but different religions... Or a great MG mystery that more Mo LeBeau and less Nancy Drew & ClueCrew.Oops! #MSWL Day is tomorrow!
Well, at least I’m on brand. I’m always the early bird! 😊🐥📚

My bizarre fascination with these girl scammer stories—and the toxic friendships they rely on—means I’m craving a fiction YA (and age-appropriate) retelling! #MSWL

Pull out the popcorn, because this is a fascinating story from history with a fantastic ending. twitter.com/michaelharriot…Oh, and I should mention that a MG or YA retelling of this (or similar type of story) is most definitely #MSWL.

I still really want a retelling of Persuasion. #MSWL
(This is my sneaky way of getting more people to read this under appreciated classic and getting on the Wentworth ship 😉)

I spent my vacation reading every Holmes/Watson fic on The Seventeenth Step and am now craving a genuinely queer Sherlock Holmes YA retelling, historical or contemporary #mswl
