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

-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

· 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.

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

If I was an agent I think something that would be on the #mswl would be a Pirates of the Caribbean style YA except it's pirates from colonized lands going after the British Empire (@ericsmithrocks plz find this book and rep it thank you) pic.twitter.com/ge9r0SeIUA

Hell yeah, I'm into it. #MSWL

Obviously interracial relationships don't end racism but tbh I would really love more MG/YA with interracial friendships & romances that don't involve white ppl

More of my friends growing up were POC than not even though (or possibly because?) I lived in very white areas

Agreed 1000%. @MekishaTelfer and I were talking about this. #mswl forever

A story that could be called "The week women stopped giving a fuck." #MSWL

This, but make it YA. Or adult SFF or NF. #MSWL

Today is #MSWL Day! All of my previous asks still hold true: a great heist/con novel, MG, YA, Adult, fantasy, contemporary, whatevs. 1/

And still looking for the #ownvoices ace/aro deep dive into why our culture is obsessed with sex, love, romance, etc. MG, YA, other #MSWL

· 13 Jun 2017

I would love to see more queer MG and YA books. Maybe a masc/masc lesbian relationship? Breaking the masc/femme dynamic in queerness #MSWL

#MSWL Smash-ups and retellings/reinterpretations welcome, in MG, YA, adult, fiction and nonfiction (2/2)

Is this your niche? twitter.com/RivetingRosie/…

Replying to @LJHenson

.@LJHenson I'm interested in NF MG and YA. I'm happy to read most topics, especially STEM and performing arts. #MSWL

And send me all the magical realism! MG, YA, adult, More please! #MSWL

I really want to see more queer community YA, where the majority/all of the characters are queer. #MSWL

· 13 May 2016

Friday is a perfect day for some #MSWL updates! I'd love to see darker, edgier projects, both for MG and YA. Fantasy and more realistic.

@D_Libris A girl raised as a boy who becomes Queen of Sweden but falls for a woman.

What a story! I'd love to see the novel of this story. Maybe YA? #MSWL twitter.com/bibliogato/sta…

"I don’t understand why there isn’t more discussion around hip-hop’s literary value" bit.ly/1pl4SAc #MSWL rap-related YA/MG fiction
