I'm feeling inspired by all the love for romcoms lately! Throwing an #MSWL out there--I'd LOVE to find a fresh, modern, quirky YA romance. I adored ELEANOR & PARK and DUMPLIN'--stories that keep it real AND keep you smiling, ideally ❤️ #querytrenches #amquerying #amediting

#MSWL Rom-Coms in YA. Always and forever.

Stealing Vicki's #MSWL, but who can blame me???

Ditto to @thedaysbetween's request!

#MSWL

#MSWL diverse romantic comedy (adult and YA) forever and ever more. Fill the post Crazy Rich Asians / To All the Boys I've Loved Before weekend hole in my heart.

THIS IS AMAZING I WOULD READ THIS NOVEL IN A HEARTBEAT YA OR ADULT OR ONE OF EACH #mswl

Would love to acquire a YA or MG with a strong female friendship like Idgie and Rachel’s in #FriedGreenTomatoes. Bonus points if it’s historical! #MSWL

And if we're talking dream books, anyone remember Gotta Kick It Up! ? Give me the fresh, #ownvoices YA version of that. #MSWL

One of my favorite books as a preteen was Amber on the Line (by Emily Marshall, part of the Going for Gold series), and Amber was a young gymnast who struggled with balancing school and her team. I would love to see something like that! #MSWL

Watched the US gymnastics championships tonight (SIMONE 😍), and it reminded me how much I want a MG or YA (hs or college) sports book. Gymnastics. Swimming. Volleyball. Track. Cheerleading. Etc. As long as it's voicey and character driven, send it my way! #MSWL

Watching @CrazyRichMovie and #ToAllTheBoysIveLovedBefore has left me feeling happy/giddy/mushy this weekend. I don't want this feeling to end, so send me all your YA and adult #romcom. #MSWL

"#YA about a boy band or a teenage girl who fangirls over a boy band." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

For YA fantasy, I am hear queens/assassins/con artist are a harder sell, so give fantasy that is new and different. Like I wanted THE 100 in fantasy. Or the Cold War in fantasy. Rethink the genre. #MSWL

For YA and MG Historical Fiction, voice is key. World building is key. I am less interested in post 1950s historical , unless it is a history I don't know. #MSWL

So my list priorities are as follows:

-YA/MG Historical Fiction
-YA Fantasy
- YA Romance
-YA and MG Graphic Novels
-MG Narrative Non-fiction
-YA and MG Contemporary Fiction

#MSWL

When I open to queries again in September, I hope to continue receiving YA Fantasy (because I love it) but I also hope I see more

☻ Middle Grade Fantasy
☻ YA Contemporary
☻ Adult SFF
☻ Adult Psych Thrillers

#mswl

A YA 12 Monkeys. That's it. That's all I want. #MSWL

Which the reminder to send me all the LGBT+ books for MG and YA once I reopen for queries in September! #MSWL

I'd like to see more light/fun contemporary YA or women's fiction set outside of the United States. I love to armchair travel! #MSWL

#MSWL I want an MS set a DEF CON—the huge hacker convention held in Las Vegas. Crazy stuff must go down. High-energy. Thriller-esque. Contemporary or near-future (give me crazy attire, cool world building), YA or Adult. Save the world. Solve a puzzle. But HIGH stakes!!!
