Specific wishes in Young Adult Fiction:
Stories that grapple with faith, sexuality, and/or cultural identity, like Ahmad Saber’s RAMIN ABBAS HAS MAJOR QUESTIONS
Mystery thrillers that keep me turning the page, like Katie Bernet’s BETH IS DEAD (retellings or not)
Stories that broach topics like neurodivergence and sexuality in an authentic way, like Andrew Joseph White’s THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH
Psychological horror that reads like a dark fairy tale, like C.G. Drews’s DON’T LET THE FOREST IN

In YA:

🕵️ Hijinks, heists, and daring plots!

👠 Gender & sexuality as play and exploration, not trauma or parable

🎤 Voice for days, kids making 100% (in)correct KID choices

💬 Witty, complicated friend groups

#Amquerying authors, it’s time for 2026 #MSWL refresh! As always, I am looking for YA, Adult, Graphic Novel, and select Nonfiction titles with a focus on commercial genre fiction from marginalized voices.

My reading taste is eclectic, but to give you some vibes, think of me for projects that are..

-A really well-written, voice-y, creative YA or MG epic fantasy with unique world-building. (Think N.K. Jemisin or Rebecca Roanhorse for tweens/teens).
-Humorous, character-driven picture books, especially if the main character(s) could carry a series.
-A survival story.

Super specific #MSWL : survival stories (including post-apocalyptic) w/a fresh spin on the survival genre & BIPOC/queer rep. Emotional MG like Alone or Hatchet or humorous and fun like The Last Kids on Earth. YA like Wilder Girls, The 5th Wave, or a grounded ownvoices Island of the Blue Dolphins
