Paranormal YA fantasy (can we just call it that again?) Vampires and vampiric beasties, especially queer, especially non-western versions—give me the manananggal! The pontianak! The estrie! But really, any creature that lives a little outside the mainstream and in shadows #MSWL

YA Magic Realism in its traditional meaning as a movement of Latin American fiction; here's a great article on the meaning of the genre as what Anna-Marie McLemore calls “a literary and cultural language," along with stellar examples #MSWL

Queer YA genre fiction of any kind. Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller (I didn't know I liked thrillers, but SURRENDER YOUR SONS got me this year), Sci-fi, Romance, Historical, Horror (as long as it's not too grisly; think Hill House, not Halloween). Most especially from QBIPOC #MSWL

Jewish YA fantasy, from contemporary with “incidentally” Jewish characters to second-world fantasy with Judaism built into its bones. IN FACT, any ownvoices fantasy featuring or built around a minority religion (just, you know, be honest with yourself about what that means) #MSWL

#MSWL for sure

This as a scene in a tragicomic YA #MSWL

This is my monthly reminder that I am looking for Latinx stories and that I really want a Latinx fantasy in my life #MSWL

4/ Only 26% of my list is KidLit of ANY kind. I'm super picky about what I take on, but I represent PB, chapter, MG, and YA, and would love to see more voicey, character-driven stories in all of these categories in my inbox in the new year.

Spooky houses- I want them! MG, YA, and Adult! #mswl

YA thrillers (NOT ADULT DO NOT SEND ME ADULT THRILLERS)

Quick reminder that I ✅DO✅ represent:

• YA
• Adult
• Fantasy
• Sci-fi
• Horror
• Contemporary
• Paranormal

Agents - I'm looking for a totally unputdownable YA novel with a breakneck pace. Contemporary realistic is my jam, but genre elements welcome. HMU! #mswl

Hello! Just a #MSWL reminder as we look ahead to next year: I'm hungry for MG and YA across all categories, and particularly excited to find MG series/SFF/adventure and YA paranormal, contemporary, and thrillers/mysteries...and anything fun & soapy or spine-tingling & spooky!

#mswl — this is everything I want in YA speculative fiction

also, perfect place to plug @ockaur’s forthcoming YA SF novel, RISE OF THE RED HAND, whose teen heroine asks alllll the uncomfortable questions about power and inequality—often with her fists 😉

This is true, I would love to find all of these things! #mswl #submissions

YES! Always always thinking about what first contact would look like. Basically, gimme YA or MG Arrival ❤️

Excited to say I'll be open to submissions again from 4th Jan - 28th Feb 2021! Looking for upmarket women's fic, speculative fic, crime/thrillers, and YA. I'm in the mood for feel-good books, characters I can root for, emotionally driven stories, immersive settings & imagination!

Just learned there’s an apartment complex in Seoul specifically for Korean-Americans adoptees to return & connect with their culture/identity and I NEED THIS as an #ownvoices YA novel. Would consider based on sample chapters & work with you to develop it. #MSWL

I would like a #MG or #YA that addresses this devastating yet horribly important truth. #mswl

#MSWL for illegal underground Grandma karaoke bars in a YA cozy murder book.
