Adult (& maybe YA?): Nature writing. I have been devouring nature books lately, especially those that blend science, culture, and spirituality, like ROOTED, BRAIDING SWEETGRASS, and FINDING THE MOTHER TREE.

A specific thing! MG, YA, or adult fiction by & about Cajuns. Would love to hear from the Acadian writers out there!
Literary Agent
Adult & YA: Mysteries & thrillers that unfold in isolated settings - a bed & breakfast, ski lodge, cruise ship, cabin in the woods, boarding school, etc.
Literary Agent
Adult & YA: Lush literary fiction with a speculative twist or a healthy dose of fabulism/magic realism.
Literary Agent
Adult: Horror of all stripes - psychological, body horror, folk horror, gothic, occult, hauntings, genre blends: horror/mystery, horror/thriller, etc. I gravitate more toward literary & upmarket writing than commercial.
YA: Same as above, basically!

How’s this for an #MSWL premise: YA romcom. Talented queer girl becomes trainee to be around girls and delay marriage by becoming a star. Right before her debut, she meets the love she’s always dreamed of, and has to choose between becoming a star or living her true dream life.

-- OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH -- I'd love a queer take on pirates in the adult upmarket/book club space, in the vein of OUTLAWED but out at sea. I'd also be interested in this for YA or MG graphic novel!

@ajones_litagent Hi Ms. Jones - I just checked out your MSWL for middle grade and in the Fiction section you mention being open to Fantasy but not under the MG heading. I'm wondering if you are open to MG fantasy as well? Thanks so much.Great question, Kim! Yes, I represent #MG #fantasy. That part of my #MSWL should be read [MG & YA (magical realism & SF)]. Cheers!

- If your protagonist is the girl from TIED TOGETHER WITH A SMILE, I wanna see it.
- Miss Americana and The Heartbreak King because YA, duh.

- 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

hailey harlow @byhaileyharlow
what's one Taylor Swift song you could build a whole novel around?mine is delicate
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
