And middle grade high fantasy too, especially featuring Queer or BIPOC main characters. #MSWL

I'd love to rep a queer magical school book (or any magical school book). Would love to undo some of the harm done by She Who Must Not be Named. #MSWL

A magic school book similar to IN OTHER LANDS. Give me your queer and/or POC protags, your questions of morality, how society should function, fluid gender dynamics, your charming creatures, painful growing up, learning to belong swoony romance, and enduring friendships. #MSWL

Kit "PREORDER DERBY DAREDEVILS" Rosewater @kitrosewater

If you want a female, queer feminist Sandlot crew... if you loved the dynamics of the kids in Stranger Things... if you loved Roller Girl... if you wanted Whip It to be queer... then you'll love THE DERBY DAREDEVILS! #kidlitgoesviral twitter.com/AmieKaufman/st…

I know this author is talking about her book that already exists, and which you should go buy, but also big #MSWL for anything that sounds like this!

Would also still love some fun, swashbuckly, queer/feminist/all of the above YA historical fiction (with or without magic) #MSWL

Kody Keplinger @Kody_Keplinger

Does anyone else ever look at a classic love story or myth and think 'I want this, only gay"?

Example: Hades and Persephone....but LESBIANS

If you could queer any classic romance/myth/fairytale, what would it be?

Another #MSWL today! A YA sex comedy like American Pie, but with a female and/or LGBTQ friend group.

8. As always, I'm interested in diverse, queer, own voices, and feminist narratives. #mswl
