#MSWL In MG in particular, I'd love to see more urban fantasy adventures like Percy Jackson featuring casts of really loveable characters in really epic situations.

Upper MG, YA crossover, and YA like LEGENDBORN is definitely welcome too!

MY LIFE WITH THE WALTER BOYS is a New York Times bestseller for another month! Congrats @authoralinovak !

And while you’re here, send me all your unputdownable #YA #romance ! #mswl

OK here's a free idea from my personal wishlist: a middle grade or YA graphic novel about drama and infighting in a school choir. Doesn't that sound delicious?

Brought to you by someone who got kicked out of sixth grade choir for having an "attitude problem"

#MSWL

We'd love to see a fun YA adventure with unique & memorable characters. Send us your query if that's your book! brandyvallance.com / sara-kornienko.com / barbarabovaliteraryagency.com #amquerying #mswl #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

#MSWL I'd love a non-Western✨ vampire ✨book.

MG, YA, & Adult all welcome.

For MG: likely adventure/fantasy based w/magic and/or non-Western mythology.

For the rest: fantasy set in a non-Western world w/sharp stakes & a romance.

Could be 1st or 2nd world fantasy.

#MSWL In YA (& MG), more "study/adventures abroad" books featuring teens in non-American locations, especially if the locations are non-Western and the stories star really robust casts of BIPOC characters.
Think ONE TRUE LOVES, I'M NOT HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS, & LOVEBOAT, TAIPEI.

#MSWL Basically any rom-com or romantasy (adult, new adult, or YA) that can give me CRAZY RICH ASIANS vibes.

And I'm also looking for YA in *any* category that can do the same.

#MSWL I'd also love a YA story about high school tennis players. Give me fun, give me rivalry -- bonus points if it can also pull off TWEET CUTE vibes!

#MSWL : sports romances! Especially queer and/or BIPOC.
I was hugely into sports as a kid and am specifically looking for super fun rom-coms in this area that'll give you all the feels! (No preference on which sports are featured!) Adult, New Adult, and YA welcome.

I’d also love to work on a MG or YA graphic novel set at a boarding school. #MSWL

I’d love to work on a Model UN graphic novel! I was a Mary-Kate and Ashley girlie growing up and so I basically just want Winning London but as a YA graphic novel. #MSWL

#MSWL but make it YA

I am just an agent, shouting to the writing void, that I really want a YA fantasy. #MSWL

#MSWL . I am closed to queries with the exception of the following:

A YA Trapped-in-Time hook: QueryManager.com/Ali/YATrappediTrappedinTime.

YA Romantasy: QueryManager.com/Ali/YARomantasy

If you submit anything outside these parameters, they will be deleted without response.

I am excited to announce that I am now a part of the team @FocusedArtists ! With my new role I can expand my #mswl to include children's titles #kidlit is my passion and I am excited to read your stories!

• YA Contemporary: relatable, everyday situations teens go through. Heartfelt, underlying messages or overall just a fun and feel-good read. Romance plot or self-discovery/coming-of-age. Would love to see a strong theater rom-com!

• YA Eco-Fiction: in today’s world or very near future, teens battling climate change or actively searching to save a species from extinction
• YA Thriller: edge of your seat who dunnit mystery, (Cruel Summer x One of Us is Lying)

But I will reopen to select YA genres as well. So it will be Adult SFF, Horror, and Mystery (not true crime). YA horror, thriller, and romance. No YA fantasy or science fiction or contemporary.

Happy to take questions for a little bit about my #MSWL . #askagent

I haven't seen the sun in a month and it's affecting my #MSWL . Please send me more domestic thrillers, YA thrillers, stories about cults, and non-supernatural horror where the monsters are regular people.

📚 OGNs: I'm primarily looking for MG/YA graphic novels (preference for author/illustrator, but open to author-only!) As far as what I'm looking for, everything above applies here!
