#MSWL Middle Grade kid chefs. Lots of unique fun-for-kids recipes the character make themselves that kid readers can try to make.

I'd love a YA Thriller centered around the theme, "Looks can be deceiving." Ensemble cast. #MSWL

Gender-flipped contemporary Cinderella retelling, except I want βCinβ to be damaged, the bad boy, who needs rescuing in true enemies-to-lovers fashion by his βprincess.β Make him sympathetic & redeemable at first. Make us only really like him as the plot develops. #MSWL

Ok I want an (off world) book in which a civilized technological (maybe emerging technological) society uncovers the remnants of a lost world, a different species, who once occupied their world, even achieved greater than them before their ruin. Literary or upmarket SFF?? #MSWL

I once served a table on their first date. While I was pouring wine, the guy said he was a βstudent of lifeβ. The lady wrote an F on her napkin and passed it to him. I hope that savage is out there thriving#MSWL I would so love a womenβs fiction or rom-com with a heroine like this.

Bonus #MSWL. I adore adventurous space opera of all kinds. (Ex Beth Revis Across the Universe or Passengers) but really want a focus on adventure and discovering new worlds.

#MSWL MY DREAM PROJECT.
Does anyone have this???
πWAKANDA IN SPACEπ½
... not actually Wakanda (copyrights you know?) but highly-technical, gloriously deeply cultural, #ownvoices only please. Wakanda x Star Trek.
Reply here if you query me this!

This GIANT SPACE rocket falling to π is making me think about people living on a far-future grimdark earth, high tech, but space junk is always falling, destroying, changing lives & fortunes, & of course there're the elite who live up above & make the mess down below. #MSWL

TBH, I was just thinking about A DOG's PURPOSE, and then I was all like, "oh yeah but make it YA, and smoochie, and like darkly romantic, and not about dogs, but people, and maybe the world has magic already ..." So, that's my brain.

#MSWL I think it'd be really cool to get a YA fantasy (probs with a heavy romance subplot) with reincarnation as the crux upon which the pendulum swings. Doesn't have to be set on a realistic earth. Could be a fantasy world to make the world building deeper. Either way.#MSWL part two. Would also really like to be immersed in each of the different lives, not just looking back on them. I want to be there across time.

#MSWL teenage angst, longing, unrequited love, confusion, completely just *missing* each other, converging class expectations maybe?, tension you could cut with knife, longing without getting, so many almost moments

I just want to read books featuring this particular vibe pic.twitter.com/0MDEBeknQREternal #MSWL (that hand flex, though... π)

#MSWL Middle Grade Mystery w/a girl protag! Think THE INHERITANCE GAMES but for middle grade (not that exact concept; Iβm just giving an example of π₯-high-concept mystery). Fast plotting. Short chapters. Chapter cliff hangers, pls. Commercial but some emotional nuance too pls!

Literary Agent
#MSWL A take on Red, White and Royal Blue but with rival mafia kids. Lots of adventure please.
