The Magicians-esque contemp. fantasy for #YA or a unique, non-western epic fantasy (dark and romantic is a +). Always loved fantasy! #MSWL

#MSWL I really want a sister story or a friendship story (boy/girl, boy/boy, girl/girl) that focuses on that without a romance. #YA #MG

A late #MSWL post, but I'd love to see a Roanoke inspired horror YA. Think last season of American Horror Story.

YA, MG, or PB that aren't afraid to go outside the box. Genre-bending, unique structure, twists and turns. Keep me guessing! #MSWL

A graphic novel for #YA or #MG. Think Nimona, or Anya's Ghost. Not too comic-booky (i.e superheroes etc.) Or illustrated #MG and #YA! #MSWL
