please spotify pic.twitter.com/u7TIZ0OeuyOooh I'd love this idea for a YA or adult romance #MSWL
Literary Agent
More high concept high fantasy in the YA space. I get a lot of plots that feel familiar and therefore unpitchable. I want something with a really strong hook. #MSWL

Hello! I'm still working my way through my queries and requested material, but I'm reopening to new queries on Sunday 5/1! So here's a little #MSWL thread, and of course all of my previous requests still stand: mswishlist.com/agent/SWeksteinHEARTSTOPPER gave me butterflies the whole way through, so I'd love to see something in this vein in YA. #MSWL

And in general, I am open to all queries for Picture Book (non-rhyming preferred), MG, YA and NA! I am simply not the best fit for horror, sci-fi or high fantasy.
Literary Agent
*YA/NA contemporary including royalty! Desperately looking for a book that gives me the same impression as the tv series The Royals
*YA magical realism with witches (think of The Secret Circle)
*YA/NA sweet romance with a feel of the Love, Rosie movie
*NA cozy mystery

Time for an updated #MSWL 🧵! Here are some projects I would love to see in my QueryManager inbox:*Picture books Nonfiction and informational, especially anything about people who changed the world but aren't as known for it as they should be
*Picture Books on Halloween (fiction)
*Young Adult Thrillers (anything with a Kara Thomas/Karen McManus feel)
And on the middle grade and YA side, I want funny, I want adventure, I want completely new, never-seen-before characters and settings, I want high-concept romances, lots of friendship and heart, just phenomenal stories and journeys all over🚀🌴

#MSWL TV show edition! Psychological thrillers, suspense, horror, mystery. Adult and YA. magic welcome. Things that feel bottled-up and breathless with all the unrevealed secrets... SEVERENCE, PIECES OF HER, YELLOW JACKETS, KNIVES OUT.
Literary Agent
Hey writers! I’d love to see more MG and YA, esp mysteries (love Mrytle Hardcastle and TRULY DEVIOUS series), spooky horror (witches over splatterpunk), and character-driven commercial (like Jenny Han or Ash Van Otterloo). #MSWL
Literary Agent
Things I want to see more of:
--shorter MG and YA
--boy MCs
--humor (not necessarily as a genre, but as a feature!)

From @EmilyKaitlinnn:
"My kingdom for a middle grade with magical, high-stakes world building in the vein of THE OWL HOUSE and YA assassin or spy stories like THE GALLAGHER GIRLS series"

Graphic Novels:
- MG, please! Anything and everything!
- YA: being selective here because there are so many. Really hoping for something like This One Summer which I just ADORED, The Girl From the Sea, or Heartstopper. (5/6) #mswl
Literary Agent
YA:
- Contemp Romance w/ messy relationships like Who I Was With Her or Only Mostly Devastated.
- SciFi where teens are in charge. Add a queer romance to the story, and you're golden. Think The Darkness Outside Us.
-Horror, horror, horror! Creepy, gory, scary AF! (3/6) #mswl
