Aparna Verma | The Phoenix King coming soon! @Spirited_Gal

What if I told you that there’s a gender-flipped Orpheus & Eurydice story in which a strong queen, who refuses to let her gentle husband go, tricks Death himself to win him back?

This is such a great story! Definitely in my #MSWL now

I’d also love to see more BIPOC nonfiction writers for all age categories. I have some ideas brewing! #MSWL

Hey writers! I’d love to see more MG and YA, esp mysteries (love Mrytle Hardcastle and TRULY DEVIOUS series), spooky horror (witches over splatterpunk), and character-driven commercial (like Jenny Han or Ash Van Otterloo). #MSWL

🎉🎉BIG NEWS: I'm joining @LucindaLitNYC! I'm excited to expand their children's program and support their NF list, with some SFF as well. You can find what I'm looking for here: lucindaliterary.com/about/team/ and there will be some #MSWL updates soon!🥳

-More nonfiction in MG and YA, esp science, art, history, etc. NF graphic novels are great here too.

-I'd love to see more mysteries, in MG, YA, and adult. I'm really into Veronica Speedwell and Veronica Mars.

-More intergenerational stories in MG, YA, and SFF. #MSWL

-More graphic novels, especially queer OGNs. I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes and Amar Chitra Catha, but I got back into comics through queer stories.
I <3 Steven Universe, She-Ra, THE PRINCE & THE DRESSMAKER, NIMONA, LAURA DEAN KEEPS BREAKING UP WITH ME, & many others #MSWL

Graphic Novels

· 27 Jan 2020

-More underrepresented creators, esp creators of color and disabled creators, telling #ownvoices and stories from the margins that need to be shared. #MSWL

-More stories that show the range of experiences of black and brown people, especially in MG and YA.

Court @courtdanee2

I wanna write a movie where a Black woman in her 40s/50s/60s discovers she has supernatural abilities and uses them to exact revenge on anyone who has ever gotten on her last nerve.

Yes, this please. 100% would read. #mswl

Katherine Locke @Bibliogato

And how does #DiverseJewishKidLit play into #futureofJewishbooks? I'd like to see more books by Jews of color, more books by observant Jews published in the mainstream, and more books about Jews. In general. Where we aren't dying. *extremely pointed look at YA publishing*

Yes please #mswl

Rebecca Mix (hiatus! yes, a real one.) @rebeccarmix

someone write me a book about a sex-repulsed ace girl who keeps making pacts with witches and demons and fae, promising them her firstborn for awesome spells and shit, because jokes on them she's NEVER HAVING KIDS and the shenanigans that follow when they all figure it out

Yeah, I want to read this #MSWL

Kaye Dreams of Fluffy Romcoms @gildedspine

This is your Wednesday reminder that if you are a marginalized author writing a magical school, I AM SO HERE FOR IT AND YOU. Write it. Please.

Also, there are no limits to writing magical schools with different functions, experiences and value. Do not cancel yourself out.

Yes please! #MSWL
