“I’d really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don’t want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don’t want answers to.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I'd love to see a Jewish summer camp book in the MG or YA space. Cabin rituals, crushes, boy/girlfriends left back at home, hikes, song and dance sessions, dramas... Query me! #mswl

Hi hello I’d love a very queer and very snarky YA heist novel please and thanks #MSWL

...for kids are upsetting as all get out. Almost exclusively established authors and IP. I’m sorry, but I hate it.

#MSWL Still looking for a #YA novel that would compare to The Wilds tv show on Amazon. Elements of survival + beachy + dynamics among groups of girls + mysteries.

I finished #CruelSummer recently, and I would adore a dual-POV #YA novel with not one, but *two* unreliable narrators like that show. (If you haven't seen, start for Gabrielle's "Dreams" in the opening scene, stay for the guessing games.) #MSWL

As always, anything at all in #YA that comps to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None with sparkles of fun, too, not just punishing. I'm picky on these, but looking so hard for one I love. If riddles are involved, that's a bonus. #MSWL

I took a class at Boston College ALL ABOUT Edgar Allan Poe, and I want your #YA that draws inspiration from his tales and poems 🫀 #MSWL

I want to read #YA and #MG set on boats (but not historical)! Give me your cruise ships, yachts, sailboats, catamarans, pontoons... (i'm running out of boat names I know) #MSWL

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

- YA historical featuring a lesser known historical period or experience
- YA sci fi that blends genres to share human stories through a fresh lens
- Narratives told in unique formats, such as nonlinear, epistolary, etc. (5/6)

- Other diverse experiences, such as neurodiversity, mental illness, physical disabilities, chronic illness, or non-nuclear/“found” families
- Compulsively page-turning YA thriller with deep emotional engagement
- Immersive YA high fantasy that’s dark, twisty, and queer AF (4/6)

I’m on the hunt for well-crafted YA and MG! Here’s some things I like/am looking for:
- “Out of the box”/quirky narratives
- YA contemporary
- Stories with feminist themes (esp an intersectional framework. Bonus points for teen activism!) (2/6)

#MSWL Desperately looking for a YA contemporary with royalty in my query inbox #amagenting #amquerying

I'm a sucker for a good anti-hero main character, so please send me your best in #YA! Though I'm also curious to see it pulled off in #MG as well. #MSWL

Hi! Just a reminder. Pitch me your MG and YA verse novels. I want them.

Blame @kafussner. 😊 #MSWL

“A YA or MG novel comping #DeadbyDaylight that is still totally character-driven and emotional.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Looking for that romantic YA fantasy! Give me stories that hinge on those relationships, the emotional nuance, where we’re in it for the tension and angst and the feels #MSWL
