Send your query letter + first 5 pages to: tkawar at icmpartners dot com. #MSWL

Though I'm known for my love of dark books, I also love light, funny YA and MG, including romcoms. #MSWL #WishlistWednesday

I love ambitious, literary YA, and would especially like one that's lushly, unabashedly romantic. #MSWL

Stories that are piercingly true to their characters, revealing their layers and deepest feelings -- this goes for every category of children's and YA books. #MSWL

In advance of our #AskUpstart session 8/7, I promised a few new #MSWL notes. I’m looking for “Activist Non-Fiction” (shout-out to @_GinaGagliano!), NF that explores a current issue, engages readers deeply, and calls them to action. YA, MG & Graphic Novels like this – all welcome!

#MSWL: "The Extreme Cyclists of the Navajo Nation" as the backdrop to a MG or YA novel. newyorker.com/culture/photo-…

I'm still looking for culturally rich MG/YA fantasies with inspiration outside of western cultures. #mswl

Seeking:
Adult: thrillers, psychological suspense, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary romance, romantic comedy, & mysteries (traditional, amateur sleuth, & cozy).
YA: thrillers, psychological suspense, horror, mysteries, sci-fi, fantasy, historical, & contemporary. #diversity #MSWL

I definitely need a strong psychological YA or thriller. Y'all know by know that Mindy McGinnis is my gold standard. #MSWL

I definitely need more contemporary YA, but I am looking for contemporary that is not the every day setting. Elevate it and allow me to escape for my every day. #MSWL

In both YA and MG, I need more fantasy. Fair warning: I will be picky. I am looking for lush worlds, complex characters, and writing that sweeps me away. #MSWL

#MSWL totally down for this!

yes okay please to my inbox you go #mswl

i just started playing detention & it's a truly chilling game
not the least because the white terror extended forty years and killed nearly 4000 people

i definitely want to read a nuanced, well-researched YA set during taiwanese martial law someday #MSWL

I keep finding out people in my life are half Cuban like me and it feels amazing? so please send me your biracial and/or latinx #ownvoices contemporary YA/MG stories! #MSWL

I’m still looking for a feel good contemporary YA rom com with a big commercial hook featuring POC characters a la Jenny Han. It’s like the great white whale of my career. Someone send it to me now, please. #MSWL

My big #MSWL mood tonight: What if Fargo, but YA?

Ariana Grande still has a hold on my soul.

Here's a #ThursdayAesthetic for something I will *never* write but is now on my #MSWL: a #YA fantasy about a black messiah and her kickass disciples feeding the hungry, killing kings, and convincing the kingdom that God is a woman

For YA, same kind of deal. Strong voice. Strong concept/plot. Escapism, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, magical realism—all awesome. Not crazy about depressing, issue-heavy books. No horror/thriller for me. #mswl #ya

Just going to throw out in the universe that I am still looking for some amazing trade MG and YA non-fiction! (PB too, but I'm just not seeing as much NF for older readers in my sub box!) #mswl
