I've often heard discussion about where story beats in kids' fiction are "supposed" to be (for commercial effect/familiarity), and it bugs me. I really appreciate this thread that reminds us that a standard is a common point of reference, not a rubric for success. #writetip #mswl

I've often said I'd LOVE a YA retelling of Much Ado, and I stand by that, but I'd love a feminist reclaiming of it, too. That's a #MSWL, by the way--YA graphic novel retelling of Much Ado about Nothing starring modern-day POC teens. What would such a retelling look like?

I would EXTREMELY love this. #MSWL

I can't tell you how much I say I want to acquire books about friendships, especially how to deal with either growing up and apart or having an incident that breaks the friendship apart. #MSWL twitter.com/Jene_e_edwards…

How many times have I asked for this? Give me my friendship breakup book—it hurts at every age. #MSWL

Friendship

I saw a tween girl on a unicycle in the park yesterday. As she left the park she stopped, dismounted, and called to a boy her age, on his stoop across the street. He was also holding a unicycle. I want to know more! #MSWL

Hello I will fight Jess for this. #MSWL

(Love you, Jess!)

#MSWL YR/MG/YA graphic novels! Great art is the priority: by great I mean clean, expressive, well--and cleverly!--laid-out. You can do a lot with a little, but if you do a lot, those details better suck my face into the page. That+adorable, funny, heartbreaking characters.

Yo I would be VERY HERE to read all about a (magical?) Arctic culture in which the people communicate and bond with whales. Maybe pairing with a specific whale pal is a coming-of-age thing! #MSWL

#MSWL Not just (another) YA novel about having anxiety, but about the misunderstandings that arise between friends when one DOESN'T have anxiety, and how to deal.

#MSWL: A near-future novel about the end of the open internet, and how a grassroots rebellion is communicated and grown BOTH analog/off the grid and by circumventing Big Brother online. Give me handwritten codes, brilliant strategy, and principled hackers, please!

I just think the worldbuilding for this could be SO cool, particularly when it comes to analog codes. #MSWL
