I would love to see a #youngadult #graphicnovel with battling street artists, similar to the movie 8 Mile but with spray cans instead of lyrics! #mswl #YA #GN #Kidlit #amquerying #streetart

I love the quirkiness and humor and vibes of TAZ (The Adventure Zone) so much. So if someone wants to send me a YA about a bunch of friends doing their actual play/gaming podcast and just living their best lives I would be forever in your debt. #mswl

As a female engineer I am looking for middle grade, YA and PB about girls in STEM. All genres. Who achieve their goals thru bravery and not necessarily confidence. I want some real models not role models for our young women. #mswl #WritingCommnunity

Hey I wanna buy some spooky cosmic horror YA, hmu if you rep that tyvm #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
