Kelly is OPEN to Queries @LitAgentKelly
I just spent the last few hours watching The Half Of It, and then spent a lot of time and energy realizing the absolute brilliance of the emotional depth and reality of this movie. If anyone has this as a comp title...I really, really would love it right now. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/h652JbvTnYAnd listen, here’s the thing: I’m good with romance being messy and not always ending well, but the only contemporary stories I find that aren’t HEA YA romance are usually about suicide. Where are the middle ground manuscripts which this movie SO EXCELLENTLY defined?! #MSWL

I still really really really want a LatinX YA RomCom! #mswl

When I open up to queries I really want creepy af MG/YA, mysteries, and thrillers especially in small towns or with a group of kids/teens.
Throw in some interpersonal drama too and I'm sold.

I don't know if any of you have been watching The King Eternal Monarch on Netflix, but I'd love to see a Korean inspired historical YA fantasy that blends the present with the past in this vein. It's so good! #mswl

ALRIGHT FAM it's a quarantine game for everyone out there who's getting feisty in isolation. Give me your wildest #MSWL for the end times. Go!Mine: An elite, competitive LEGO Masters friendship story. I want messy relationships, sabotage, and high nerdy stakes. #AmAgenting twitter.com/RebeccaPodos/s…
Because *cough* I was told to do so 😉 I need more messy YA pirate treasure caper murders ala The Outer Banks. #MSWL
Literary Agent
#MSWL send me a YA, NA or Adult book with the vibe of phenomenal actress Kristen Stewart in Ride ‘Em On Down

I've been watching a lot of ballet videos while self-isolating. Just a reminder that I am still on the hunt for a great ballet YA project from the POV of a male dancer. Billy Elliot grown up. Or this moment from Center Stage. #mswl
Editor
oh ALSO ALSO a take on metoo with a cheeky twist, preferably starting qpoc that examines the intersection of identifying with more than one marginalized group #ya #contemporary #mswl
Editor
ok here's another one: #mswl a sweet #contemporary #ya rom-com about a qpoc with an adorable meet-cute. I know this is super general but that's because I want so much of this!!
Editor
another #mswl: a home invasion story with a twist. but the "victim" is an action girl who ends up hunting THEM down because she is way better at surviving than they are #ya #contemporary this is basically the plot of the movie YOU'RE NEXT

Have been thinking a lot about how one of my biggest #MSWL items is YA about teens who don’t go to college. I never went to college, and it was such an emotionally fraught thing for me when I was 17/18. If you have a MS like this, please send it to me!!

#mswl #ya #ownvoices gimme all your monster books. Especially monsters based on non-western legends and folklore. The wendigo! Chupacabra! La llorona! I want to feel uncomfortable and scared and uncomfortably excited to be scared

#MSWL MG, YA, or graphic novels with this mood / setting / ambience / evocative sense of the fantastical waiting-to-happen as a jumping-off point.

In which my affection for Joel Gray only grows...
Playwrights, I am happy to read any Ghostlight YA, middle grade, or picture book manuscripts you write. #amagenting #mswl
