MSWL: Christen is looking for: Age Categories: Young Adult New Adult Middle Grade Genres: Contemporary Romance Contemporary Fantasy Other genres if the vibes are right
Vibes:
Anything and everything queer.
Fat main characters living their best lives.
Neurodivergent, mentally ill, or disabled characters who don’t need “fixing.”
All things geeky and nerdy.
Stories where friendships are as important and enriching as romantic relationships.
Anything that could be described as Midwestern Gothic or Southern Gothic.
Working class stories by working class writers.
Literally just random things I would love to see in books: birds!, Waffle House, community spaces, public transportation, community colleges/alternative post-high school paths, characters with special interests, TTRPGs, alternative music, siblings with complicated relationship dynamics.
Christen Randall (they/she) writes queer, fat, neurodivergent books. Their debut novel, The No-Girlfriend Rule, was an instant USA Today bestseller, a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection, and received three starred reviews. It was also selected in the inaugural mentee cohort of the Write Team Mentorship Program. Now, it's her great joy to center community and volunteerism in her authorship. Christen is represented by Becca Langton at Darley Anderson Children's Agency.
