I am REALLY hungry and I mean bottomless appetite for some great fantasy inspired by underrepresented cultural lore (YA and MG). Look over your manuscripts. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Because I’m pulling a Kirby for these manuscripts.
Query me!

I rewatched Pose and baby Blanca sneaking out of her house in her shake-n-go wig to discover The Balls is a YA #mswl for sure!

Inconveniently Specific Wish List #mswl
− Intergenerational found family like Howl’s Moving Castle; This is England
− YA horror like Beetlejuice, WWDITS, Paprika
− NYC stories; no Gossip Girl energy (unless satire or horror)
− Strong ensemble like E4’s Misfits; The Wire

Manuscript Wish List #mswl
- All of the YA and MG fiction. All of it. Novels-in-verse and graphic novels included.

I can also stan the very realistic “they’d be perfect together if one of them were less of an idiot,” but only for so long* before I throw the book out the window.(*”So long” is apparently more than two books in a series?)
I guess for the search engines I should add “I love any variety of a slow burn romance” in YA Contemporary, YA Fantasy, MG, Adult Contemporary, Adult, NA, GN, WF, #MSWL

Where are all the YA stories about this? Operation Peter Pan. The clandestine mass exodus of over 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban minors ages 6 to 18 to the United States in the 60s. I would love to see some. #mswl

#MSWL I’m DESPERATELY NEEDING a YA or adult romance where a sweet couple falls in love—no insta love. I want to see their journey, whether it’s f/f, m/m, f/m...love is love. I just want ❤️ and laughter and kindness with lots of friends and family and community.

Between my new found love for Oumi Janta and binge-watching Betty, I am so ready for some rollerblading/skateboarding YA magic to happen #mswl
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · Jul 1
I'd also love to see more upmarket fiction, women's fiction, & YA horror. I'm surprised how little of the query pie these genres take up. Please send me more of them. #MSWL
Tricia Skinner @4triciaskinner · Jul 1

SOME NEWS! After an S&S restructure, I'm now at McElderry, where I'll still be acquiring YA but will *also* be actively looking to build my MG list!
So agents, please keep me in mind for all your upcoming SFF middle grade! I'm definitely prioritizing that at the moment. #MSWL

This post reminds me that I need one of you YA authors to write a creepy gothic retelling of the story of green ribbon girl. Maybe a graphic novel?!? #mswl twitter.com/svershbow/stat…Echoing this #MSWL (which you probably could've guessed from looking at my Twitter header). A YA retelling of "The Green Ribbon"? Please send it my way!
