Anything set in the arts/theater (drama/dance/symphony/opera) will bring my inner drama club kid such joy. #mswl

Still on the hunt for a really original novel/opera/ballet/myth retelling. #mswl

Magical realism, in any age range. #mswl

Also, mystery MG. Give me all the precocious kid sleuths. #mswl

Specifically, I’d love to see more historical YA in a variety of time periods (especially the Roaring 20s). #mswl

Over all, I’d love to see more:
-high concept MG and YA
-commercial adult fiction
-#ownvoices stories
-MCs with strong, distinct voices
-comedy across the board
-stories that break my heart and then put it back together

The Gates of Light & Bones

Is it vain to #MSWL that? Because that is a badass title.

Forever + Always #MSWL: moody and romantic modernized mythology. Or, my aesthetic in an album: open.spotify.com/album/4E34mVDB…

Can I #MSWL my sister's news report? Because I want this as a cute romance novel.

This is still my favorite SYTYCD choreo, and if I could get this in a YA novel, I would be very very happy. #MSWL

Fell down the Parts Unknown rabbit hole, and now I want a YA with a teen travel show host. #MSWL

If you're not listening to Flash Forward podcast, you should. And if you have a MS with a twisted, science-based future, query me. #MSWL

#MSWL: I'd love a noir told from the femme fatale POV, rather than the PI.

Oh my god, THIS! I also want to see this! Good one, @alioop7. #MSWL

This is *very* specific, but I'd love to see a #YA retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. It's my favorite. #MSWL

As always, I want more #ownvoices fiction in all age ranges. #MSWL

Still on the lookout for a #YA inspired by a classical opera. Or about the opera. #MSWL

I also really love to laugh (well who doesn't?) and want more funny #MG and #YA. #MSWL

On a lighter note (if you consider murder a lighter note...), I'm a sucker for #YA noir. Think Brick or Veronica Mars. Or Riverdale. #MSWL

I'd also love to see more stories where characters protest, rise up, rebel. I want to see them fight for what's right. #MSWL
