Alright I am putting it out into the universe.

I have a dream of representing a children’s book about competition and sportsmanship...

by Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.

#mswl ... in case you can help me make this happen.

Just told an editor that I am "looking for the NEVER HAVE I EVER of YA novels," and now I am telling you. If you can use the Netflix show as an honest comp to your work, I want to see it. #MSWL

you know if this was a rom com, this would have been my meet cute. And...if someone tries to write this as YA where a teen signs into the wrong school's distance learning on the first day and meets a boy, I need to agent it... wth... #mswl

Let me remind everyone that Mark Kelly and Scott Kelly were born identical twins but their DNA is no longer identical after going to space...

...this is a great prompt for a novel. #mswl also, vote for Mark Kelly AZ!

In which my affection for Joel Gray only grows...

Playwrights, I am happy to read any Ghostlight YA, middle grade, or picture book manuscripts you write. #amagenting #mswl

These choices apply to writing just the same. I am interested in inclusion that is just this purposeful, layered, and (as James Cordon so perfectly says) "beautiful." I want to see a YA with this Seymour and Audrey. #MSWL

#mswl but not really ms...because this is a wordless picture book

#mswl a YA novel about a boy like Jordan Blue.

Librarian friends, has there ever been a picture book starring a dog in a cone (am I missing something obvious)? If not...author/illustrators, here is your inspiration. #mswl

And a Becky book about a girl who is at the top of her class and together, but who her boyfriend is and who her family is means she is probably never getting out of small, Midwestern, middle class town...and she knows it. #mswl

And YA with a the high school Darlene Conner, all in black, surrounded by family who doesn't know what to do as she dies her hair in the sink. Not a capital D depression book, but a book about how things change when coming of age doesn't go smoothly. #mswl

Always looking for the next Darlene Conner, middle grade with a "To Whom It Concerns" protagonist a middle of the country tomboy who is sharp on the outside and may seem too big for her surroundings but still very much just a kid & wants to be loved. #mswl

Though I am not one for high fantasy or SF, I would raise my hand and say "me, me, me" for a YA set in the near future, back on earth that began with this sentence. #mswl

#MSWL chapter book or middle grade novel. Here is our protagonist. Here is the feeling that pervades the book... JOY.

I have said it before and I say it again. Give me a Middle Grade from the p.o.v. of a girl like Tess or Annie. They are my favorite characters on this show I love a lot. #mswl (Spoiler in the video). nbc.com/this-is-us/vid…

#mswl I have wanted a YA non-fiction or historical fiction about this event FOR YEARS.

I want a chapter bk/MG novel from Annie Pearson's pov (or a girl who's a lot like her). This scene killed me. #mswl

Is it a YA novel that passes the Bechdel test? I'm into it. #mswl
