I devoured THE MOON WITHIN over the holiday break. Would love to see more MG or YA novels in-verse, please. #mswl

MG or YA stories about complicated family dynamics, sibling bonds, and found families. #mswl

SWEEP: THE STORY OF A GIRL AND HER MONSTER was one of my favorite non-Harper books of 2019 and I’d love to see more MG/YA historical fantasy that’s just as compelling, poignant, and imaginative. #mswl

Lush, high-stakes MG/ YA fantasy with series potential featuring unlikely heroes you can’t help but root for and writing that knocks your socks off. #mswl

Putting some #MSWL items out into the universe in the hopes they find their way to me in 2020! Agent friends, I’m actively acquiring PB, MG, and YA but I’m really looking to build my MG/YA lists this year. Below are some things I’d love to see right now. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

I'm also dying for more fun & high concept middle grade series, like THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD & EVIL, NEVERMOOR, ESCAPE FROM MR. LEMONCELLO'S LIBRARY, MYSTERIOUS BENEDICT SOCIETY, etc. And as in YA, in MG: monsters. #mswl

YA contemporary will ALWAYS be a go-to for me. I particularly love stories that deal with heartache but lead hope-first, where the optimism always bleeds through. #mswl

I'd love to find a YA paranormal (romance or not) that feels fresh and has epic external stakes & high internal drama (and I remain partial in particular to vampires and werewolves). I love monsters of all stripes & would love something like Rick Yancey's MONSTRUMOLOGIST. #mswl

In YA I'd love to find a thriller; something that is a compulsive page-turner & smart exploration of the ways we form meaning & identity during our teen years (which includes, surely, some number of secrets!) & how we examine & challenge the ideas & beliefs we've inherited. #mswl

Among the many things I’m excited for in 2020? Working with new clients! One of the best parts of my job is the magic of falling in love with a writer’s story for the 1st time & in 2020 I'm looking to discover works across a wide range of MG & YA genres. A 2020 #MSWL thread...

I want a YA version of Never Let Me Go. Light speculative elements and haunting friendships/relationship. Kathy is a voice that still sticks with me to this very day. #mswl

Still looking for a YA rom-com that’s incisive & frothy, whether it’s about partners or a novel where someone falls in love with all the many facets of themselves. A falling-in-love-with-yourself story would be amazing! #mswl

We're back from break, which means agents are open to queries & editors are looking for projects to acquire! I’m excited for the beautiful, memorable PB, CB, MG, & YA manuscripts I’ll get to read & consider in 2020. Adding my #mswl to the mix!
