Always HIGH on my #mswl priority: YA; queer friends of color from the hood, or lower-middle class a la failed NY industry. Full of heart, promise, and school skipping hijinks to idk attempt to skate the Statue of Liberty. Fast talking, no-nonsense kids w/a tight bond. Funny!

First on my #mswl: I want an f/f YA contemporary centering a black girl or girl of color who isn't confused about anything other than How To Get The Girl. A 2015-now voice.

Okay, here’s some #MSWL items, both specific and vague—I REALLY want a queer mermaids book, please and thank you

Stories with diverse families and/or found families (half and step-siblings, adoption/fostering, single parenting, LGTBQ+, disabled, homeless, etc.) #MSWL

All the queer mg and ya stories! I would love to find more f/f first crush or relationship stories that give me butterflies. But I'm also very much open to stories that don't include romance! Overall, I’d like to see more submissions from LGBTQ+ authors. #MSWL

More YA things you should send me: best friend stories! LGBTQ+ rom coms! eerie mysteries! #MSWL

For Young Adult, my biggest #MSWL is fun, lighthearted novels by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. I see so many submissions for issues-based stories—which we need, don't get me wrong—but I want to put a little more joy into the lives of teen readers who already deal with so much shit.

a few more #mswl items:
-f/f or m/m or any kind of queer prom book
-YA involving fashion as a way of self expression
-inclusive romcom for YA + Adult a la RWRB

Me anytime a girl is nice to another girl in a book: Ohhh, they like each other!
Me any time a girl is mean to another girl in a book: Ohhh, they like each other!
CLEARLY, I need MORE f/f books in my life & in my QUERY INBOX. All the f/f in my #mswl. Femme, butch, trans, ALL!

I'm only open to picture books that fit my #MSWL - right now, I want heartwarming pbs that address special needs, LGBTQ+ families, or diaspora experiences.
Also, funny word-play books like THE WONKY DONKEY.
