Specifically, I’d love to see more historical YA in a variety of time periods (especially the Roaring 20s). #mswl

Over all, I’d love to see more:
-high concept MG and YA
-commercial adult fiction
-#ownvoices stories
-MCs with strong, distinct voices
-comedy across the board
-stories that break my heart and then put it back together
#mswl

This is still my favorite SYTYCD choreo, and if I could get this in a YA novel, I would be very very happy. #MSWL

Fell down the Parts Unknown rabbit hole, and now I want a YA with a teen travel show host. #MSWL

This is *very* specific, but I'd love to see a #YA retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche. It's my favorite. #MSWL

Still on the lookout for a #YA inspired by a classical opera. Or about the opera. #MSWL

I also really love to laugh (well who doesn't?) and want more funny #MG and #YA. #MSWL

On a lighter note (if you consider murder a lighter note...), I'm a sucker for #YA noir. Think Brick or Veronica Mars. Or Riverdale. #MSWL

Like Tom Hanks in Catch Me If You Can, I'm not giving up my hunt for a YA heist. #MSWL

In MG and YA, I'm looking for more diversity and especially #ownvoices, in all genres. #MSWL

First up, I'd love a #YA mystery in the vein of modern film noirs like Brick or Veronica Mars. Something really dark & twisty. #MSWL

#MSWL Complex, morally-grey MCs in MG or YA.

#MSWL Would LOVE a YA set in the 1920s with a female outlaw protag (like a flapper turned bootlegger).

#MSWL A YA or Adult novel set in Renaissance Italy.

#MSWL YA with a film noir feel. Give me a teenage Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.

#MSWL I'm a major mythology nut, so I'd love re-imagined/re-interpreted myths from any culture, for either YA or Adult

#MSWL YA Historical Fiction of any time period. Especially if they have a cool speculative element...

Same! #MSWL

#MSWL Also, YA Gothic Horror. I'm basically Catherine Morland.

#MSWL YA Horror with realistic elements. It doesn't need to be supernatural to be scary.
