YA fantasy is evergreen, but what I want to see is where the genre is going next. A more contemporary direction, a new take on paranormal, twists and turns on some heavy-hitting elements like dragons, gods, monsters, the nature of story? Bring it to me!! #MSWL

A few other things I'd love to see in my inbox...
*MG novel that revolves around a big family (traditional or untrad) and plays with form the way Jane the Virgin did
*YA novel about a young tennis phenom (like Coco Gauff!)
*Interesting structures
*Subversive takes on tropes
#MSWL

Hi, #MSWL Day! Agents, as many of you know, I'm acquiring a range of YA and MG (open to fiction, narrative nonfiction, and graphic novels), and I'm still looking for a lot of the things I've tweeted about on this hashtag in the past! twitter.com/search?q=(%23M…

All right, y'all ready for my #MSWL Day collection of oddities? Cause it's coming at ya (all #YA and #MG):
- Recreational fighting, both combat and noncombat (MMA, kick/boxing, karate, fencing, weapon work, etc.)
- Girl gamers

I also would love some stories about nonbinary characters, in whatever way they come. But I'd REALLY love if they were just existing and had normal problems like acne and what hairstyle to wear to prom. Normal teenage stuff please #MSWL #YA

Give me creepy, whether YA or Adult. I'll keep asking for horror until I get it! Less gore and more psychological #MSWL

My full #mswl is linked below, but some highlights include
-lush YA fantasy
-quirky MG (mis)adventure
-first year of college YA
-unreliable narrator

Wholeheartedly agreed. #MSWL

#lgbt #mswl I'd like to see more adult or #YA stories featuring polyamorous relationships (any genre as long as it's in my wheelhouse)

#MSWL Team sports in middle grade and YA. Would especially LOVE a high school girls team with a few main characters. But I'm also a sucker for Friday Night Lights...

as a gal with many straight, strictly platonic, male best friends, I would love to see more of that in both YA and Adult #MSWL

Thing I’ve noticed: my YA list skews more girl, and my MG list more boy. I’d like to balance that, but still maintaining my overarching tastes: high concept, good plots, not-issue-books, joy and exploration and fantasy (both literal and just escapism). #MSWL

YA mystery/thriller in the vein of ONE OF US IS LYING, TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET, or THE CHEERLEADERS. #MSWL

#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history

Happy #MSWL Day!

I would love to a funny and uplifting friendship break-up / make-up story, or a fraught and complicated friend break-up story (perhaps a thriller?). #MG, #YA, #Adult Surprise me! #MSWL

For my wish list + more about me, see:

#mswl - YA thrillers and mysteries. If you comp to ONE OF US IS LYING, MONDAY'S NOT COMING, or SADIE, please -- query me!

A thread of more specific #mswl items I'd love to see:

A #YA about lady knights with the feel of SONG OF THE LIONESS/Alanna of Trebond

Very high on my #mswl is a YA romcom or a sweeping YA love story!

For YA, I love mysteries, historical, contemporary, magical realism, psychological/literary horror, contemporary w/ a very light speculative touch. I love funny books, I love serious books. #MSWL

#MSWL - in YA, I'd love something really fun and soapy, maybe with a speculative twist, maybe not.
