#mswl in YA fiction, i'd love:

Historical fiction set outside the US/Western Europe.

Scholarship kids at old-money schools.

Bubblegum thrillers and queer horror.

2010s-style dystopias with marginalized teens at the forefront.

Animated Barbie movie vibes (bonus points for fairies or mermaids).

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

Happy #MSWL day, writers! I rep MG, YA, and adult and am open to contemporary, historical, fantasy, sci-fi, speculative, and horror. I'm a BIG graphic novel person and I also do nonfiction as well! You can see my wish list & submission guidelines here:

#mswl weird and beautiful YA where I may not be sure what's really happening, but the storytelling is so skillful I trust that it will take me where I need to go. books like Strange Creatures, Ink Poppy Midnight, When the Moon Was Ours, Among Others, Places No One Knows

Also this show but make it fantasy YA or NA #MSWL

My kingdom for this readalike! #MSWL

#MSWL I am really looking for YA romance/fantasy, horror, and dystopian.

#MSWL for a YA dystopian that comps to the 2009 scifi movie TiMER

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

#MSWL And one more thing: at Workshop we have some fun things we can do with shorter novels for both MG and YA, so on the lookout for those as well! Agent friends, please send me all the things! :)

Hooray hooray, it's #MSWL day! So excited. :D Quick background about me: I'm an associate editor at Penguin Workshop, editing primarily licensed titles for major brands and media partners. However, I am also open to (and eager for!) MG and YA submissions. I am only looking for agented submissions.

#MSWL More specifically, I'm really hoping to sign an adult SFF book with a disabled protagonist this year, and I'm dying for the next SICK KIDS IN LOVE. I want YA disability romance so, so, so bad!

For #MSWL #MSWL Day 2026, I'm really, really looking for disabled authors of color! If you have an adult SFF book or any genre of MG or YA novels, please send it my way!

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, building my list in YA, queer romance, select nonfiction, and graphic novels for all ages. Query me here!

Finally, in YA, my eyes are peeled for anything sweeping, epic, and emotional that *feels* like the Your Name soundtrack *sounds* (full of nostalgia+yearning), especially with a speculative twist!! #MSWL

In YA, I'd love to see comtemporary paranormal romances and mysteries from fresh, underrepresented perspectives à la CEMETERY BOYS, IF I HAVE TO BE HAUNTED, and THESE DEADLY PROPHECIES. Please give me vampires, witches, ghosts, zombies, etc. especially from a unique cultural lens! #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day! I acquire everything from picture books to YA, including graphic novels. Behold the thread below for some MSWL items I am hoping, praying, begging, asking very nicely for 👀🥺🎉

#MSWL day

3) YA focused on BIG feelings, where magic serves as a proxy for those feelings

4) Something fun and escapist

5) Stuff that feels like being a 90s kid/early 2000s teen - bright colors, big personalities, chunky shoes, fewer screens, more optimism
