“...I'm pretty full-up on YA right now, and much hungrier for PBs and MG....”
“If I were to sign a YA right now, and it's tight, it would have to be really unique. As always...commercial, readable, inventive, aspirational, romantic and/or strong-relationship driven, "knows where it comes from but knows where it's going" type stuff. #mswl”
