Help me make my YA list more genderqueer! I’d especially love to see high-concept, layered novels from trans voices (especially intersectional) but am open to folks across the entire genderqueer umbrella. Some of my faves: The Honeys, Hell Followed With Us, Felix Ever After, Cemetery Boys #MSWL 1/3

Still can’t stop thinking about Obsession! Disregarding my cortisol levels, I’d love to see more layered, thought-provoking horror that will get young people talking about real-life horrors & themes beyond the jump-scares and gore like bodily autonomy, morality, consent, etc. YA #mswl

🧵 1/8: Hi authors + illustrators! As a new literary agent at Storm, I’l open to queries soon. I wanted to share my #MSWL .

I’ll be searching broadly in June. Here’s what I’d love to see in my QueryTracker inbox for YA to New Adult.

Full: jackiegarciamorales.my.canva.site/hello/

Specific wishes in Young Adult Fiction:
Stories that grapple with faith, sexuality, and/or cultural identity, like Ahmad Saber’s RAMIN ABBAS HAS MAJOR QUESTIONS
Mystery thrillers that keep me turning the page, like Katie Bernet’s BETH IS DEAD (retellings or not)
Stories that broach topics like neurodivergence and sexuality in an authentic way, like Andrew Joseph White’s THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH
Psychological horror that reads like a dark fairy tale, like C.G. Drews’s DON’T LET THE FOREST IN

"In YA, I would love a voice-y, meaningful coming of age story like DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY by Adib Khorram or FIREKEEPER’S DAUGHTER by Angeline Boulley."
Marina Green #MSWL
