I'm still running on U.K. time, so I'm a little exhausted, but I'm super excited to be at the Hilton and getting prepped and ready for #WDC18 #pitchSlam tomorrow! If you have MG, YA, or Adult romance, fantasy, futuristic sci-fi, or anything on my #MSWL, come pitch me tomorrow!

Guys, I need a pirate manuscript in my life ASAP. Who has one they can query me with? I need to relive my favorite books right now. Bonus points if you have a character with a personality or traits like Tia Dalma/Calypso with a hard pirate/sailing edge. #MSWL

Also, #MSWL 😂❤️

Seriously, Brooklyn is my new favorite movie and it makes me so happy every time I turn it on. I ordered it on DVD on 2-day delivery just so I can bring it to the U.K. With me and force @writerShanna to watch it. 😂 Anyone have a YA historical like this? #MSWL

I second this #MSWL. I'd totally also be down for a historical where a woman is married and knows her husband is in love with another man, but they're best friends, so she helps him hide it from the public, or vice versa. Read one like this once and am still in love with it.

Currently watching Brooklyn and taking a break from work, and OMG I'M LOVING THIS MOVIE!! 😭 Why am I such a romantic slub recently? I love this. Can I have a Historical like it?! PLEASE?! #MSWL YA or Adult, I totally don't care. 😭😭😭

All the reasons why I'm dying for a book version of The Bold Type. #MSWL 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

You know what'd be cool to see more of in YA Fantasy? Mythologies no one has read before, like the hundreds of Native American tribes, or the 54 countries and thousands of tribes within Africa, or Haittian or Persian or Hittite. Something that can open our eyes and minds. #MSWL

I have a secret weakness for sci-fi that's monster and tech heavy...and maybe even including aliens. My love for movies like Transformers and Pacific Rim have no bounds! If you can give me something like Pacific Rim technology and piloting in a book, I'd be so happy! #MSWL

In addition to this, I'm looking for some great YA and adult contemporaries and contemporary romances! 🎉 Also, I'm still on the lookout for a MG author to add to #TheFellowship! ❤️ So if you have something that matches my #MSWL, shoot me a query with the MSWL mention! 😁

I've also been hoping for a teen version of a hopeful Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo. Erica, definitely look them up, and I think you'll love them! ❤️ trockadero.org #MSWL

Yes, I would! :) Specifically if it's heart warming MG and has LGBTQIA+ characters. #MSWL

Is it weird that I seriously want a Valkyrie type of fantasy with an odd twist that doesn't quite make them Valkyrie?

...but it's the same type of idea?

Do my #MSWL tweets ever make sense?

Someone please write me a manuscript with Danny in uniform in a war where he doesn't die. #MSWL

I have a horse and his name is Leroy, but I dislike most horse manuscripts because I will normally find the authors is wrongly informed, has never had a real connection with a horse, or the horse gets injured. Avoid these, and we might be okay. #MSWL

And non-categories you may identify with or place yourself within that help you to find and tell YOUR STORY. Because your stories and your voices are IMPORTANT and valid and deserve to be heard. #MSWL

#MSWL I'd like to state for the record that I am still looking for, and will always be looking for, diverse perspectives, authors, characters, cultures, and environments in manuscripts and books. This includes POC, LGBTQIA+, genderfluid, neurodiverse, and all the other categories

When you see Anastasia on Broadway, and you just have to!

P.S. @kortney_price and I want broken down castles in manuscripts. I'd totally want mine to be creepy. #MSWL

I think I need a romance heroine like her in my life. ❤️ #MSWL

YOOOOO #MSWL definitely.
