If youโre a MG horror author whoโs like โhm I think Iโm gonna submit to that Savannah Brooks fellow, she seems coolโ but donโt know what my ~spooky aesthetic~ is, I just finished reading THIRTEENS, and it nailed the location-based spooks Iโm pining for. I want a spook town. #MSWL

For MG fiction, my interests fall heavily on the action-adventure scale, especially stories informed by non-western mythology and folklore. Loud and funny is a better fit than quiet and contemplative. In nonfiction, I love topics that kidsโand Iโcan geek out about.

Made some butterfly braids โบ๏ธ๐ฆ pic.twitter.com/Akg2s3EKcpSo. Stunning. Please send all the PB, MG, and YA books about the art of hair, makeup, and fashion created by Black folks my way. #MSWL

Currently obsessively consuming JINXED by Amy McCulloch, and not that I didnโt know it before, but itโs reiterating just how badly I want a MG STEM with a super smart badass girl MC. Adorable robots are a plus. Please and thank you. #MSWL

On the subject of #MSWL, Iโd love some MG horror with a creepy setting a la Sunnyvale or Derry, where the spooks happens because of where they are. Something with series potential.

Been slowly making my way through the Rick Riordan presents lineup, and sweet peaches (see what I did there?), these books are so good. Iโm very much so looking for an MG action/adventure global mythology standalone or series. VERY MUCH SO. #MSWL

OKAY TWITTER. What's the new YA genre trend going to be? Let's decide now so we can all start drafting our dystopian-vampire-werewolf-super hero-space novellas and get 2020 off to a banging start.I know mythology tends to skew MG, but Iโd LOVE to see more global mythology and folkloreโespecially in genres outside of action/adventure. I know yโall have some spooky folklore ripe for horror. And rom coms with minor deities? Guided journies through loss? Yes. All of it. #MSWL
