Now, for things that I’m not particularly looking for, but that are undeniably just a ME thing in YA and Adult Fantasy:
1. Sisters/siblings who really don’t like each other. It’s okay when family has issues that can’t be resolved. I’m def here for this.

In addition, I’m looking for so many things in both YA and Adult fantasy, that’s it’s harder to pin down what I WANT than it is to just list the things I DON’T want. So here goes things I DO NOT LIKE in fantasy: #mswl

Kelly RELENTLESS is OUT NOW! @LitAgentKelly

Alright, since I’m opening my query box on Saturday, it’s about time I started a tweet thread of what I’m currently looking for!

BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUPS. LET’S RIDE! #mswl pic.twitter.com/LBut6XwZLB

Honestly, my heart wants YA fantasy. ALL THE YA HIGH FANTASY. It’s been too long, and publishing has been depriving me for FOREVER, and I need fantasy NOW. (Read: I needed fantasy 2 years ago during COVID, and now I’m on my death bed, it’s been too long). #mswl

In the spirit of being anti-pumpkin spice, I want my #MSWL to embody stories (YA and Crossover Adult genre fiction) that don't give a f*ck! #femininerage #DoRevenge

For YA and MG: I have a preference for speculative fiction here, although I’m also open to select contemporary works. Misc interests: the fae, talking animals, marching band, quests, genre-blending, found family, mythological retellings, and dragons.

-really strong voices with messy feelings

"Send me YA nonfiction: memoir, essay collections, you name it. QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE is probably my favorite YA nonfiction title in recent memory, and a great example of what I'd like to see."

I was at a conference this weekend and talking about spooky YA books. You know what I'm craving? A YA zombie novel in the vein of THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH. #MSWL #YA
