You guys—my nine-year-old totally wants a book where Cinderella’s Fairy godmother turns her into Big Foot but she still tries to dance with the prince anyway... #MSWL PLEASE. #kidlit

#MSWL (children's ch books ages 7-9 cont...) Maybe the boy doesn't shrink, the bugs get bigger? Also, MYTHICAL MONSTER series: boys adventuring w/creatures like big foot, Lochness, Yeti, Whatever the angle, commercial concept: stories w/animals, underwater adv, princesses, etc.

#MSWL children's chapter books ages 7-9 (with a series in mind), very boy- or girl-centric. For Boys: Maybe something about a boy who considers himself a "Bugologist" & shrinks down to bug size to go on adventures. For girls: A story about a magical doll house that comes to life?

Would love commercial high concept #MG, written in a literary style, that explores some important emotional competency for the characters (death, loss, catastrophe, violence, race, differences/disability, social justice, growing up, etc) contemp, fantasy, sci-fi, etc. #MSWL

#MSWL Does this already exist? A book written from an alternating POV of a person with multiple personality disorder (just 2 in fact). However, we don't figure out they are the same person until the end. Must have actual plot that exists outside the fact they have this disorder.

#MSWL I want a YA about a family forced due to unfortunate circumstances to sell everything, buy a camper van, and go on an adventure meant to mask their misfortune, though conflict ensues, but love and faith bloom too.

#MSWL Contemporary single-title romance with a deaf hero and a hearing heroine.

I am seeing lots of agents #MSWL quirky humor and MG. I love this too! What editor friends are in the market for off-beat humor done well?!

After the SpaceX #FalconHeavy launch, I want this: Sort of a Revolutionary War set on Mars, but with non-conservative pilgrims—like super-smart SpaceX pilgrims w/ ideals & awesome tech vs underhanded greedy governments rushing to claim Mars like “they” already own it. #MSWL #SF

I’m weirdly in the mood for a cozy mystery. Must be hilarious. #MSWL
Ali Herring @HerringAli · 29 Jan 2018
Make me swoon and keep it sweet! I’m looking for wholesome, inspirational category romance. Can be contemporary, historical or make-my-heart-race suspense, as well as writers who understand the expectations of the line, and can provide great comp titles. #R #MSWL

#MSWL Today, I found myself driving along the original Trail of Tears. As a person of Cherokee descent, I would love to see a #YA (maybe #MG) centered on the Trail of Tears. #POC Any stories built from oral tradition? #NativeAmerican

I want someone to make me like a "mermaid book." #MSWL. For me, it's going to have to be character-driven as much as a super cool premise. I want to really understand their world too in a science-y kind of way.

#MSWL my MG twins want to see a jock who's really smart but hides it bc he doesn't want people to think he's a nerd. Insert nerdy girlfriend

I don't rep pic books but I might just die if someone did an opposite anthropomorphism #PB where dogs talked for their humans. #MSWL anyone?
