I LOVE proper espionage and spy novels in the adult space (just finished Kate Atkinson's TRANSCRIPTION), and I would love to see the scheming, plan-making, white-knuckle near-misses and Good Vs. Evil elements done for middle-grade readers. YA too, btw, but especially MG.FYI, this is still true #MSWL

#MSWL: #ownvoices #MG or #YA protagonists with chronic illness, pain, and/or a disability in a story not focused on that, and where no one dies--it's just a part of life. This kind of rep is important to me & I rarely see it in subs or published books.If you have this, send it to me and I will send it to Molly! This is a really important kind of representation for me. I'm open to both fiction and non-fiction! #mswl #invisibleillness

In YA/Adult fantasy, idgaf about saving the world, but a MC using the backdrop of a good vs evil world conflict to get shit done in pursuit of selfish goals? YES #mswl

#MSWL I'm dying for stories by and about Jews of color. Picturebooks, middle grade, young adult- please send them over!

Currently acquiring: YA/NA thrillers w/ normal kids in danger and/or taboo subject matter.
Also, cute YA romcoms that reflect the modern teen experience. A diverse cast that reflects the world around us is a must. #MSWL entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ ATTN: Heather

as well as stories that deal w/ navigating sibling relationships (ala I’ll Give You the Sun) light fantasy with new magic systems, stories set in isolated places filled with secrets, unreliable narrators, and as always I would love to see more #ownvoices #YA #MSWL (2/)

This thread keeps getting longer but I want YA with teens that make mistakes. Maybe they're learning. Maybe they did it on purpose. Maybe they have secrets, a fuel for revenge, unrequited feelings they're dealing with. Maybe they did what they needed to survive.

Not a sports book, but main characters and/or love interests who play sports. Sports aren't queer, per se, but queer folks who play sports are hot and we NEED MORE IN YA #mswl Look, ultimate frisbee is GAY AS HELL - where's the book with that love interest?Just to be clear: this includes my wants for Adult romance too! #mswl

Forever and ever and ever on my #mswl: YA version of THE CRAFT. Queer as fuck.

SUPER SPECIFIC HORROR IDEA. Has anyone ever seen Thirteen Ghosts? A super cheesy movie about people that get stuck in a house full of 13 serial killer ghosts. I LOVE IT. I want a YA based on it. #mswl

Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE stories that have a group of 4 or more characters going on adventures, figuring out problems, or trying to save the world. MG or YA, but give me stories like STAND BY ME, SANDLOT, STRANGER THINGS. #mswl
