Maybe a YA fantasy about the lowly shop sweeper or something? Give me a literal "nobody" and make her story remarkable w/o royalty. #MSWLYes!! A YA like THE REAL BOY or WING & CLAW would slay me!! #MSWL

Can I get The Bold Type in YA novel form? Friendship girl gang! Supportive of one another's ambitions! Making big mistakes! #MSWL

First and foremost, I want stories that center marginalized experiences. Stories where being atypical in any way is not a curiosity. #MSWLJust read this entire brilliant, articulate, incredible #MSWL thread by @agentsaba and send her everything, so I can read it later.

It will surprise none of you that I read a ton of fanfic. Bring me those tropes in a YA romance! Soulmate AUs, time travel, pining... #MSWL

I'm a sucker for gorgeous prose that sucks me in and makes me forget what time it is/where I am/that the stove is on. #MSWLLiterally missing my stop or connection on the subway, not being able to put the book down while walking... #MSWL

Dragons. That is all. #MSWL

I talk a lot about wanting LGBTQ YA—but lately I'm really dying for an LGBTQ middle grade! Self-discovery, first crushes, family! #MSWL

A middle grade manuscript that makes me just break down crying on the subway. #MSWL

Wry, smart, disruptive historical YA (+/- fantasy)! Think GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE and MY LADY JANE. #MSWL

Evergreen: underrepresented #ownvoices across all genres, MG or YA. Identity informs story but doesn't need to BE the story. #MSWL

Stories with a voice like Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett (tall order!). I am HERE FOR that combo of incisive humor, depth, & warmth. #MSWL

There's been a lot of great TV recently featuring difficult people who are still somehow relatable/rootable. I want. #MSWLSame! Characters don't have to be "likable" to still be compelling and relatable. #MSWL
