#mswl YA featuring gender outlaw badasses like Gladys Bentley

Pondering my current #mswl. I’d still love to see some high-concept YA romance (if queer then all the better) that addresses the climate crisis… ecological, possibly international, could be a version of our world, could be fantasy?

#MSWL: a YA novel that vibe-comps to Teenage Dirtbag (the song)

I want an amusement park YA book. Not saying **cough cough** Disney, but if Disney inspired the shenangians, okay. #MSWL

I want YA that vibes with these two YA projects. There was a effervescent feeling to the writing here. #MSWL

I want a YA that feels different from what we are seeing right now. Mix Genres, play with tropes, be inventive in your structure #MSWL

Time for another #mswl! I’d love, love, love to see some new juicy rom-com and family comedies/dramas in the #ya space. #yalit #booktwitter #books #amwriting #amquerying #amreading #writer #writers #writerslife

Agents: on my #MSWL I’m looking for YA fiction centering the Stonewall Riots and trans POV. Email me!

YA fiction favorites & comps I’d love to see: CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD, NEVERWORLD WAKE, THE TAKING OF JAKE LIVINGSTON, ACE OF SPADES, THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER

YA fiction: Horror, mystery, thriller, grounded stories with a speculative element, magical realism/fabulism, Southern gothic, rom-coms (heavy on the com)

Here’s a Friday #mswl call-out for #history + #mystery! I love the #EnolaHolmes movies and just watched #lidiapoet. Would love to see more along these lines in the #ya and #upmarket spaces in my #submissions inbox. #amquerying #amwriting

I rep PB, MG, YA, GN, and select A genres. I keep my MSWL fairly up-to-date. There are a few areas that I'd love to build my list our more robustly in the coming months. #MSWL

Also if someone can figure out how to give me a cozy mystery as a YA, I want it. #MSWL

Also might be controversial, I want post high school (summer before college, or the first "year" of college) type stories. But since not every kid goes to college, I want to see how the come of age by leaving childhood behind.
Looking for YA themes though, not "baby adult" #MSWL

I want TED LASSO vibes, and Rian Johnson's KNIVES OUT vibes, and VERONICA MARS voicey #MSWL #YA

I want:
-ace romance
-mermaids that never go in the water
-Ren Faires
-magic worlds that are different from what we have been seeing.
#MSWL #YA

I want:
-Dark Whimsy/Cozy Magic
-Twisty murders (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-EPIC Romances (romantasy and romcoms and straight romances)
-Lush worlds and atmospheric writing. #MSWL #YA

But if we are going contemporary, I need to elevate it. Kit Frick is a forever comp, but if your book comps to TRULY DEVIOUS or FEMAL OF THE SPECIES, I would be here for it. #MSWL #YA

I am in the reading mood for fantasy right now. I want writing like Margaret Owen with the snap crackle and pop of Sarah J. Maas's characters #MSWL #YA
