#MSWL day! To start I’m on the lookout for high-concept MG, YA, and adult fiction. More on what that means here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-conc…

I'd also love to see a MG or YA that makes science and math feel as super cool as it does in The Martian and Lab Girl #MSWL

I'd love to see more contemporary YA and MG that makes me laugh, including, but not exclusively, rom-coms. Additionally, I would love retellings where the story is told with the former antagonist becoming the protagonist. #MSWL

#MSWL I had a MG Wolf shapeshifter story slip through my fingers and I was slightly devastated. If you have one (and they're not actually called werewolves), I want it. I'm still hesitant on the vampires unless done differently, but wolves... Wolves are a must!

#MSWL I want a middle grade that reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.

#MSWL
In YA and MG:
✔️ That quirky kid who cares so much about science and their "work" that pressures from social standings/social media never touch them. Humor's a must!

I love upper MG where kids are trusted with more depth of emotion and experience. Think settings like Everlasting Nora by @cruzwrites. Conflict and struggle like The Night Diary by @VeeraHira #MSWL

#MSWL #MG please. No high fantasy, horror, sci fi but otherwise I will be open to (end of Sept), especially to #diverse voices, strong hooks, compelling plot, amazing characters. Even better if humor laced throughout drama or drama laced throughout humor.

I love advocating for creators, but especially marginalized creators. I could really use more adult SF/F and MG in my inbox! #MSWL

Likable YA and MG characters who do unlikable things. Think Donna Tartt's Theo in the Goldfinch. #mswl

4. #MSWL middle grade treasure hunt, or quest story, a bunch of kids looking for something special that will change their lives.

3. #MSWL Found families, especially in middle grade.
