You know what I’m missing right now? A high fantasy (either YA or Adult) with a brilliant new world to get lost in and a fully developed, ingenious magic system. Anyone have one for me? #MSWL

Looking for some YA and Adult futuristic sci-fi that can veer towards thriller-esque. I have a thing for crazy monsters and alien-like beings that are created or defeated through science. Give me Pacific Rim with a twist or The Arrival! pic.twitter.com/vv2TaiKpyGThis also goes for Stranger Things comps. #mswl #ThrillerFest19 #pitchslam ❤️❤️❤️

🙌🙌THISTHISTHISTHIS🙌🙌This is why I don’t like mindless jump scare slasher horror—but why I ADORED The Haunting of Hill House.
This is BEAUTIFULLY said. ❤️ twitter.com/dongwon/status…
Why I’m still looking for my Hauntin of Hill House. ❤️ #MSWL

Watching Maleficent and goodness do I want a flawed and broken main character like her!!! Omg, I love this movie so much. Having a BA woman like her in a manuscript is totally down my alley! #MSWL

#MSWL YA friendship breakups. Those were always worse than romantic breakups. Where’s my tearful BFF breaks?!
P.S. This movie gets me in the feels every time.

#MSWL Futuristic sci-fi (not set in space) and...dare I say it...
DYSTOPIAN!
Dun dun dunnnnn...

#MSWL Adult fantasy for women, written by women, with a closer voice and crossover appeal, a la The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, Kingdom of Exiles by Maxym Martineau, Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, etc..

#MSWL Adult Rom-com’s with diverse characters (I.e. Crazy Rich Asians, Ayesha At Last, etc.). Bonus points if complete with Bridget Jones-like single and imperfect woman, epic Tinder fails, and best friends like The Bold Type. 👍🏻😉

QUICK, before my authors send me all of their current WIPs that I have to edit 😂:I’m doing a #MSWL thread of things I really, REALLY WANT RIGHT NOW! And if you see one that’s basically yours and it’s already in my box, tell me and I’ll mark it. ❤️😁

Oh, hey! After discovering the majesty of Hersheypark’s teen employees last week, I’d love to find me a goofy, funny, earnest YA about a group of kids spending the summer working together at an amusement park. #MSWLI second this. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #MSWL

SEND ME YOUR FRIENDSHIP BREAKUP BOOKS. Middle school, high school, even (dare I say) early college! In my own life, friendship breakups have always been so much more significant/traumatic than the romantic ones. Would love to see it in my inbox! #MSWL pic.twitter.com/wTHruL3Dm7#mswl 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

YES. Where’s those horror manuscripts at?! Not the slasher/gruesome ones though... Think more Bird Box, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, etc... #mswl

Also, video game competitions and maybe even cons in MG! Dungeons and Dragons too? Something nerdy and feisty and showcasing kids who aren’t afraid to be who they are and ROCK. THE. WORLD. With their nerdiness. #MSWL

I could really use a The Bold Type story of friendship and romance written by and for the millennial generation of BOSS LADIES! Women who work hard, play hard, and love hard, supporting each other along the way, too. And a partner who isn’t afraid of boss &*+@#€$! ❤️ #MSWL

I’m still looking for my online dating rom-com! I NEED it! Who has one? It could be friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, comedic failure, I really don’t care. It just needs the hilarious reality of online dating and how horrendous it is! But of course, with a happy ending! #MSWL
