Wanted: #MSWL - A summer fun/ coming of age romance with a love triangle #YA #AmQuerying #Romance #Fiction #AmAgenting

Reminder that these aren't the limit of my wish list items. I'm open to fiction in a lot of genres and age groups, from MG to YA to adult. Please see the full #MSWL here:

#MSWL Still looking for an MG Romance Writer exploring 1st love & crushes like Natalie Blitt Carols & Crushes for MIDDLE GRADE to YA girls, 12-15yos. Yes I want something that straddles that weird line. Want them to read like Hallmark movies for kids and could go series.

#MSWL Contemporary YA and MG fiction.

#MSWL Fiction, across age groups, that explores the afterlife, but NOT set on Earth with ghosts. Think "waypoint" locations. I loved the movie "Defending Your Life," so a riff on that would be cool. But open to more settings, like an MG/YA kid ends up in the underworld.

GN: absurd, funny MG; fantasy/spec like This Was Our Pact; YA like The Prince and the Dressmaker, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up..., Genderqueer, Go with the Flow, The Magic Fish, beautiful coming-of-age like This One Summer that lingers w/you but make it all gay gay gay. 5/6

YA: coming of age romance like Last Night at the Telegraph Club or Ari & Dante w/gorgeous prose; coming of gender; atmospheric gothic (like The Handmaiden); historical/nf; mystery/thrillers like Firekeeper's Daughter or Patron Saints of Nothing; character-driven speculative. 4/6

With #queerpit approaching, I thought I'd write up a super specific super gay #MSWL . I acquire for picture books, MG, YA, graphic novels, & nonfiction for Atheneum, and I'm looking for queer esp intersectional (BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled) and trans/NB/genderqueer voices. 1/6

With so many pitch events fast approaching, I thought it was about time for an #MSWL refresh. I rep everything from picture books to adult fiction, but am looking to fill some particular gaps:

YA and Middle Grade Fiction

Light-hearted, action adventure, character driven, coming of age books that can tackle big themes and doesn’t shy away from important topics. Books with romance but are romances. Thoughtful stories about character over spectacle.

YA and NA crossover fantasy

Stories with big hooks, escapist realities, political intrigue, messy characters making the wrong decisions, gamification, rage, and atmospheric environments

Women's Fiction

I’m seriously on the hunt for a heartfelt YA in the vein of The Summer I Turned Pretty. Or the Betty, James, and August triangle from T Swizz ✨vibes✨. I do adore a holiday romance.

We’re trying to travel this summer! To a different time period, if you have the miles.

Check out what else is on Tessa’s #MSWL here: corvisieroagency.com/tessa-shaffer.…

So glad to be a part of this event! Representing @LCSLiterary - looking for select YA, select non-fiction, Women's Fiction, Romance, Suspense and much more. check out my #MSWL

XO Kitty is soooo good! Definitely #MSWL for when I reopen to YA hopefully next year

I downloaded Threads like everyone else but am not so sure what to do about it professionally since my Threads name is my personal Instagram account lol

Anyway, a new #MSWL for you! Young YA. Protagonists ages 13-15. Bonus points if illustrated and funny!

It’s official…my #mswl page is live
