YA mystery/suspense:
I want some on both sides of the spectrum: light and dark.

Something in the vein of Sadie, Behind Her Eyes (but YA), and Knives Out. But also something ala On My Block, Outerbanks, or Scooby-Doo, haha.

I love treasure hunts and heists btw!

#MSLW I've seen queries before w/ worlds where water is scarce. Would love to see something like this in the YA or even MG space when I reopen to queries. You can always put something like "#MSWL For YA drought-world book" or whatever the MSWL is in the referral space.

Always a YA #mswl!

Just a friendly reminder that I am desperately seeking some more contemporary stories in the adult, YA & MG space.

I'd especially love a #YA #thriller or #MG #mystery set in #ElYunque rainforest in #PuertoRico #mswl

Excited to find more #MG and #YA stories that represent authentic #Latinx #customs, #traditions, #celebrations, #folklore #mswl

I'd love to see more #MG and #YA stories based on #PuertoRican #folklore #mswl

I’d like to read a YA that has the *vibes* of RESERVATION DOGS on Hulu #MSWL

apnews.com/article/entert…

I would love a #YA novel from the POV of a teenage #succubus as an unreliable narrator with the plot twisting suspense of Courtney Summers’s SADIE #mswl #amquerying #horror #thriller

hi #amquerying & #WritingCommunity folx,

i’d love to see more:

• contemporary stories for MG-Adult
• rom-coms, especially in YA (queer & diverse). I want a BIPOC f/f story so badly!
• twisty YA thrillers and horror (& adult, always!)

#mswl

I would LOVE to see more YA & adult rom-coms in my inbox! Give me unique storylines, laughs, diversity, and all the feels.
💕💕

“I’d love to see a MG or YA spin doctor. Think the energy of Shirley and Jamila Save Their Summer meets the Good Wife's Eli Gold.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am very excited to announce that I am officially open for queries! I’m mainly hunting for whimsical MGs, transporting YAs, and select NF. There are some specific things I’d love to see so check out my #mswl for more details
