Remembered another #MSWL: #ownvoices MG/YA/adult w/ disabled MCs, including novels where disability isn't the focus, esp intersectional.

For my whole #MSWL, eager for #ownvoices stories about marginalized communities AND authors from marginalized communities (OV or not).

Would love more voice-driven intersectional nonfiction on contemporary society (think Rabia Chaudry, Ijeoma Oluo, or Dylan Marron). #MSWL

A feminist psychological thriller in YA or adult that makes me wary of everyone I know. #MSWL

#ownvoices stories with Muslim protagonists and/or novels by Muslim authors. #MSWL

Very accessible popular science, especially on psychology or neurology. #MSWL

Very eager for #ownvoices trans stories in MG, YA, and adult, including those where the MC's identity is not the central focus. #MSWL

#MSWL Still/forever looking for this: twitter.com/LaurenAbramo/s…

Think you've got the contemporary answer to The Westing Game or The Outsiders? That's a high bar, but I want to see it. #MSWL

Romance novels with heroes and/or heroines of color, especially #ownvoices. #MSWL

I will never not be a sucker for novels about friendship, from MG to YA to adult. Also romances with strong friend groups. #MSWL

Always looking for #ownvoices #actuallyautistic contemporary fiction in MG, YA, and adult. Adventure/fantasy in MG as well. #MSWL

Still very much looking for submissions from indigenous/Native/American Indian writers in MG & YA fiction & adult fiction & non. #MSWL

#MSWL THIS FOR SURE: twitter.com/Ioveglows/stat…

And to double-down on the last one, someone PLEASE write me a novel inspired by Jestyn in the Somerton man case, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. #MSWL

Novels based on historical unsolved mysteries, especially the Somerton man, the Hinterkaifeck murder, & the Sodder kid disappearance. #MSWL

More #ownvoices intersectional queer adult romance, YA, and MG. #MSWL

Okay, #MSWL Day, here's what I'd love to see: more books by authors from marginalized communities underrepresented in publishing generally!

#MSWL ⤵️

Also, perpetual #MSWL (manuscript NEED list, even) for novels based on any of those three ⤵️.
