Cokd war spy fantasy in YA #MSWL

Agent friends: I zoomed through the audiobook of VERITY VOX AND THE CURSE OF FOXFIRE this weekend and it was great and had everything I want in a YA fantasy. Cool witchy magic! A fun voice! Cozy, but still important stakes! SAPPHIC!!!

If you have anything like this, send it my way? :) #MSWL

I have been asking for a YA just like these and I swear this one is going to make me want a mystery even more #MSWL

"For YA fantasy, I would love a propulsive retelling that is distinct and fiery with something important to say. Think FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga."
Marina Green #MSWL

So in my YA, NA, and Adult list, this is some of the vibes I am looking for. Escapism is the name of the game there. #MSWL

I am full up on romance and romantasy unless your project REALLY stands out.

What I am NOT full up on is suspense, book club, and YA! #mswl #writincommunity

(Please feel free to cross post this on other social platforms)

Would really love to see more YA thrillers-slash-mysteries, especially those similar to CWs Nancy Drew. #mswl

Second half 2025 #MSWL :
-an YA Fantasy that feels fresh
-a sweeping epic YA romance
-a great YA mystery (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-a YA mermaid book where the mermaids don't speak (I could go into the science, but I won't

Part 1/

#MSWL really on the lookout for a YA or NA that feels like this

🧵 ok let's talk about what I'm looking for in queries and potential new clients going into Fall 2025

my queries will only be open for 2 weeks (Sept 1-14) but while they're open to all genres I usually accept, I'll be focusing on YA and Adult fiction and Graphic Novels in...

#mswl

I reopen to queries in just 9 days and am so excited! I will be open the first week of each month through the spring of 2026. What am I looking for? Here’s my full #MSWL :

2/6 #mswl Really looking for YA/NA/Adult Susp/Psych/Thrillers. Some ex: You Shouldn’t Have Come Here – Jeneva Rose; Everyone on This Train is a Suspect – Benjamin Stevenson; Everyone is Watching – Heather Gudenkauf; Little Secrets – Jennifer Hillier. Also some female rage!

1/6 #writers #writingcommunity #amquerying #amediting I’m reopening to queries on 8/25! Check out my fully updated #MSWL but here are some I’m really hungry for: YA/NA/Adult romances/WF. Spec, magical realism, paranormal, you name it. Check my #MSWL for specific titles I love.

Romance: I'm looking for a modern love story -- modern meaning within the year we are currently in. I would love anything that is funny, witty, and feels like I’m in a modern Kate Hudson movie. This is more for NA/Adult and in YA I would love a good rivals to lovers or friends

As a summarized version I am craving a gorgeous lyrical horror in the vein of Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews, Your Blood My Bones, anything that can be comped to Andrew Joseph White or Jamison Shea. This goes for YA - Adult! (more on MG below)

"I want weird YA novels. Ex: WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power, THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera, and THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER by Leslye Walton."

🚨NEW #MSWL 🚨
I'm opening to #YA and #NA queries later this week, so stay tuned for an announcement when my inbox opens 👀

My life was a puzzle that didn’t make sense until I embraced being queer and genderfluid. #mswl more queer books, especially for MG/YA and new adult graphic novels and literary YA/coming-of age like Aristotle & Dante Discover the Sectets of the Universe or Last Night at the Telegraph Club

I'd love to see more YA and MG in my inbox #mswl
