#MSWL
YA or MG graphic novels that intertwine the text and illustrations (think CHOPSTICKS) or that show a secondary story in the illustrations.
Literary Agent
Oo! And what about a YA (Or adult, really) where it's f/f and they're forced to work on a painting together to win scholarship money or startup money. But they hate each other and then end up having a paint fight 😍 enemies to lovers! #MSWL
Editor
I would LOVE to edit a satirical MG or YA novel about student government. Think Mean Girls meets Wag the Dog. Or, like, Election without the gross teacher. #MSWL

I love novels (MG, YA, adult any genre) that are mostly in our world but have a single magical component that changes everything. #MSWL
Literary Agent
MG or YA NF from a scientist, doctor, engineer, etc. translating all your coolest research into something that will give young readers a leg up on saving our ship and assure them there are adults fighting the good fight right now #MSWL
Literary Agent
Oh, and very big on my #mswl as I await cooler weather: YA and MG that feels somehow autumnal! Give me book-form crispy leaves and spiced cider (spiked or not), please. I love good, cozy stories.

#MSWL
YA Count of Monte Cristo--I love the intricacy of the plot and also justice stories with excellent character arcs.
(And I don't like the movie. Just the book.)

More #MSWL: YA with "high stakes" low stakes a la Sally Rooney with a relationship that is so emotionally charged that one text or e-mail might just mean the end of the world. Across all genres, not just contemporary!
Literary Agent
Unlikely pairings for YA rom coms, please. Give us the couple no one expects will get together, and then make them happier than everyone (even if it takes awhile to get there). #MSWL
Literary Agent
Definitely always on the lookout for contemporary. I want all the feels, the angst. In YA, I really want mental health focus on LGBTQ+. DEFF want LGBTQ+ middle grade crushes! GIMME! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm truly interested in the intersection of upmarket sentences and scary content, whether that's for MG, YA or adult...I am here for this. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Currently on a HUGE hunt for historical! Any age. I want lesser known historic events and locations. I want MG trusted to become enmeshed in important/involved moments. I want YA and Adult to show rebellion or championing against the common law. #MSWL
Literary Agent
A closed room mystery a la TWELVE ANGRY MEN for YA. Would be amazing if this had a social justice angle! And/or the tight list of suspects in and fast-pace read like ONE OF US IS LYING. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Ok, real quick #MSWL thread that I'm squeezing in today.
Basics: Upper MG, YA, Adult.
DO NOT send me PBs, Short Stories, Chapter Books, Nonfiction, Thriller/Mystery/Suspense, or Erotica

My Friday #mswl: a story with an "Arrival"-like twist that unfurls across many layers rather than pulls the rug out from under youHuzzah #MSWL day! I'm still yearning for this speculative, twisty YA, something ambitious in scope and structure that doesn't forsake emotions or characters.
Literary Agent
And another #mswl in the thriller space: I am horribly obsessed with true crime about cults, and family secrets that lead to deadly outcomes, and wild stuff like this. In Adult, especially, and in YA!
