#MSWL for the new year pt 6: stories with Latinx characters and their families in a contemporary setting. Stories steeped in magical realism.

#MSWL for the new year pt 5: stories with dual or multi-POVs, especially if it's a group of friends. I want to see POVs that bounce off one another, add tension, or really grow the dynamic between the characters.

#MSWL for the new year pt 4: light fantasy or contemporary stories with magical elements, especially if they have quieter stakes.

Not saving the world but instead asking someone out or fixing a fight with a friend.

#MSWL for the new year pt 3: stories from trans and nonbinary writers.

Your words matter and I want to help them get out into the world. ❤

#MSWL for the new year pt 2: feel good YA romance, especially if it's queer!

First crushes gone right, awkward pining, best friends to lovers, fake dating turned actual dating, I hate you but oh wait, we're actually similar af and I may like you.

ALL OF IT.

#MSWL for the new year: found families, best friends who don't need to say anything to communicate, friends who live together because sometimes families are difficult.

I'd also like some speculative YA/MG where weird stuff happens and characters are forced together to figure it out.

Think The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman or The Bone Houses by Emily-Lloyd Jones.

#MSWL #amquerying

Think Summer Bird Blue or Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman, Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World by Ashley Blake, or How To Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters.

In the new year, I'll really be on the hunt for contemporary YA and MG! Whether it's romance, growing up, dealing with hard stuff, figuring out friends, I want all of it.

#MSWL #amquerying

I want these stories now. Please and thanks!

#MSWL

It may be all the Animal Planet I've been watching but I want a meet cute at an animal shelter/zoo or people accidentally meeting cause of their pets.

#MSWL

#MSWL - please and thank you!

Soft cinnamon roll boys especially, please and thanks!

#MSWL

Yes! Send me stories that bend reality and make me question the stability of the main character.

Or even better, a main character who is hiding information from the reader.

As always, I want and need:

Queer stories
Stories from marginalized authors
Mental health rep
Sex positive rep

#MSWL

This thread keeps getting longer but I want YA with teens that make mistakes. Maybe they're learning. Maybe they did it on purpose. Maybe they have secrets, a fuel for revenge, unrequited feelings they're dealing with. Maybe they did what they needed to survive.

#MSWL

Also putting it out there that I'm 3000% weak for slow burn relationships (romantic and non-romantic) as well as best friends to lovers.

#MSWL

(Yes, I know I'm using a gif from a soul-murdering movie. fight me).

I want strong villains/antagonists where we can track their turn.

Think Catra from She-Ra, Xifeng from Forest of a Thousand Lanterns, Walter White from Breaking Bad.
