Also, more MG and YA graphic novels! #MSWL

I'd love to see more historical fiction in general. #MSWL

I’d love to see more MCs in MG and YA who are literal monsters, but soft and sweet. #MSWL

Putting this obscure #MSWL want out into the universe, but if any querying writers are working on a Hist Fic about Florence Cook and the Crookes investigation, I would love to see it.

How many times have I watched this video?
So many times.
Can someone please write me a YA with this level of friendship and support between teammates?
Please?
#MSWL

15) Light Adult fantasy. Show that thinks don’t get less magical after childhood. Comps like Practical Magic, Garden Spells, and The Night Circus. #MSWL

14) Romcoms about athletes competing at the Olympic level. I want the next Cutting Edge! #MSWL

13) Cute, funny contemporary YA romcoms that are driven by dynamic characters. #MSWL

12) I’m dying for a YA set during the 1920s. Something sharp like gin or bubbly like champagne. #MSWL

11) I’m still desperate for a good YA horror. Something dark and disturbing. More eerie than gory, and grounded in reality (no supernatural killers needed). #MSWL

10) I want more YA stories where the dynamic friend duo is front and center (and any romantic relationships take a backseat) #MSWL

9) I am forever and always a theater kid at heart. Backstage was my second home growing up. Bring me your stories about or inspired by the Arts! #MSWL

8) I still have my fingers crossed for a clever retelling, a genre-crossing tale with familiar faces, but not unnecessarily faithful to the source material. It should stand independent and quite unique. #MSWL

7) Send me the hungry ones, the MCs who want something so badly, it rattles their bones. Who encourage their ambition. (YA) #MSWL

6) Send me your jagged girls, the ones who broke and put themselves back together. The ones who don’t hide what they are (YA). #MSWL

5) Send me your quiet, lyrical magic. Your tales of discovery and wonder. Give me a MG bedtime story that paints my dreams. #MSWL

4) I love Harriett The Spy, Artemis Fowl, and Encyclopedia Brown. I always want more clever, observant kids. (Working moral compass not required) #MSWL

3) Send me your intelligent absurdists, your Monty Pythons and Terry Pratchetts for MG. Make my brain giggle. Fart jokes need not apply. #MSWL

2) I have two different laughs: the snort and the guffaw. The snort is easy. I want an MG that makes me guffaw. #MSWL

1) I always want to see more writers with #ownvoices stories, across all genres and ages. #MSWL
