#MSWL for 2019! Also known as: What I’d Like to See in My Agent Inbox (2.0) scribblesandwanderlust.com/2019/01/01/msw…

I'd be interested to see a YA nonfiction guide to money that acknowledges the gig economy, high cost of secondary education, lack of pensions, etc. How can today's teens/late millennials prepare for a much different financial reality than previous generations? #mswl

In YA nonfiction, I'd be interested to see some guides to activism (including eco and political activism) written for teens from somebody with a solid platform. #mswl

I'd still love a super witty and clever beach read/romcom in YA. #mswl

This year, I'd love to see more trade non-fiction for children and teens that goes beyond a traditional biography! Show me science, history, cultural movements, our planet, etc. in ways I haven't seen before! (bonus points if it's a graphic novel!) #NonFiction #pb #mg #ya #mswl

@ericsmithrocks What YA would you like have come across your desk?When I open up for queries again (Springtime?), I am desperate for some more YA SFF genre blending novels, with the kind of expert world building I've seen in @RantingOwl @heidiheilig and @SanguMandanna's books. #MSWL

The bravest books about faith IMHO don't demand a certain response or conclusion from their readers, but instead give *the very questions themselves* to teens, then honor/respect the ways in which young people grapple/wrestle/engage with them & make space for answers that emerge.YA about religion and faith is on my permanent #mswl because faith and growing up are both about Big Questions—finding them, answering them (or not), and living anyway.

Also, I just saw the trailer for Bird Box with Sandra Bullock and I will totally be all about that comp title for any incoming YA or MG manuscripts. #MSWL

13) Cute, funny contemporary YA romcoms that are driven by dynamic characters. #MSWL

12) I’m dying for a YA set during the 1920s. Something sharp like gin or bubbly like champagne. #MSWL
Literary Agent
11) I’m still desperate for a good YA horror. Something dark and disturbing. More eerie than gory, and grounded in reality (no supernatural killers needed). #MSWL
Literary Agent
10) I want more YA stories where the dynamic friend duo is front and center (and any romantic relationships take a backseat) #MSWL
Literary Agent
7) Send me the hungry ones, the MCs who want something so badly, it rattles their bones. Who encourage their ambition. (YA) #MSWL
Literary Agent
6) Send me your jagged girls, the ones who broke and put themselves back together. The ones who don’t hide what they are (YA). #MSWL
