- I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE vibes as a YA romance, but maybe with a HEA.

-THE LUCKY ONE. Not necessarily Hollywood fame, but chasing a dream and realizing you might not want it & flipping it on its head

-MINE. Just for a careless man’s careful daughter. #MSWL

I could do a whole #MSWL on this (MG or YA only please!) so here goes:
-Enchanted. Takes place in one night. Intense romance

- The last great American dynasty. Gimme the outsider protag who kinda relishes screwing up high society

- anything with ONLY THE YOUNG energy

Spring 22 #MSWL:
MG/YA thrillers, rom-coms (fresh hook, please!), magical realism, & under-repped voices
Investigative journalism for MG/YA
BIPOC or #ownvoices PBs

#MSWL (agented only) (yes I am going wishlist happy) - fresh retellings, YA verse novels (though I am very picky on that end), epistolary

I'm no longer tired post-Covid and I am hungry for amazing, complex, propulsive storytelling that reflects the world around us, YA and adult fiction. (Agented only) #MSWL

#MSWL (agented only) - YA or adult - novels that can be comped to shows like Never Have I Ever, It's Okay to Not Be Okay, Jane the Virgin, Bridgerton, Sex Education

#MSWL (agented only) - YA / adult romance, would love a fun workplace romance, enemies to lovers always, grumpy/sunshine, heart breaking but hopeful, joyful, fresh takes on time honored tropes

#MSWL (agented only) - YA and adult - Gothic horror or fantasy, would love a fantasy that reads like a fun romp (like This Vicious Grace), vampires, witches, morally gray characters

I want a cosplay graphic novel #MSWL #YA
