Someone write a book for me about these night lunch wagons. Maybe with a hint of magic? Because how could magic not be involved in this gorgeousness?? #mswl twitter.com/atlasobscura/s…#MSWL that I didn't even know I needed but now I am like STUDIO GHIBLI meets night lunch wagons in a Neil Gaiman-esque MG #25DaysofMSWL

@bookendslit @Super_Weenie @absolutestartup @BookEndsJessica @jamerrson @TracyMarchini @inthesestones @SoCalledYALife I'm looking for fun MG in the vein of Raina Telgemeier! #MSWLI'm looking for more MGs in the vein of J. Anderson Coats or Whitney Gardner #MSWL

I also really want an atmospheric magical realism book in MG or YA. #MSWL

A reminder that I really want a MG about being a child of an immigrant. Something from Crazy Rich Asians that hit home to me was this line (summarized for space):
"You may look Chinese and speak Chinese, but not here (head) or here (heart)." #MSWL

In MG, I am kind of all over the map. @KimLongMG's MG was a fun Sci-Fi Amazing Race that put me on an adventure. @laurel_gale's fantasy felt literary and classic to me, like a warm hug. And @jamlo525 just crushed (in a good way) me with her character's OCD.Each of them nailed their MG voice, and that is central to me. #MSWL

With MG Narrative Non-fiction, I am looking for biographies. Tell me the true story of someone whose story needs to be told. #MSWL
Literary Agent
For YA and MG Historical Fiction, voice is key. World building is key. I am less interested in post 1950s historical , unless it is a history I don't know. #MSWL

#MSWL fantasy w/ a translator protag. There's so much power in language-- how they translate for a ruler effects a whole kingdom, eg. I want to see the nuances & consequences of deciding how & what to translate, word play between languages, times when translation falls shortSomething I want to add to my #MSWL is that I find the rules of being a translator, especially for a deaf person, to be interesting. It would be interesting to see an MG about a child who has to speak for their parent (whether deaf or non-English speaking) and to see what happens

In both YA and MG, I need more fantasy. Fair warning: I will be picky. I am looking for lush worlds, complex characters, and writing that sweeps me away. #MSWL
