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

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

So my list priorities are as follows:

-YA/MG Historical Fiction
-YA Fantasy
- YA Romance
-YA and MG Graphic Novels
-MG Narrative Non-fiction
-YA and MG Contemporary Fiction

#MSWL

Something 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

I am currently obsessed with Graphic Novels. Putting out a #MSWL for YA or MG graphic novels. And here are some examples of ones that I love or am excited to see:
THE PRINCE AND THE DRESSMAKER by @alooghobi
FAKE BLOOD by @HeyWhitney
ANNE OF GREEN GABLES

So to clarify since people misunderstood what Disney's the thirteenth year is: I want a contemporary MG about a young kid going through puberty and become a mermaid. #MSWL

I would love to get a MG that feels like ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and has a Gilbert to match. #MSWL

#MSWL your reminder that I want a THIRTEENTH YEAR middle grade novel

#MSWL this would be awesome! #MG or #YA

#MSWL I want a #YA or #MG story about a Native people (not limited to America) who faced cultural suppression and relocation. The comp is RABBIT PROOF FENCE.

Oh snap! Check out my #MSWL Madness post. Then send me all the books! bookendsliterary.com/2018/03/20/nat…

A MG or YA graphic novel. #MSWL

I want a middle grade humor book. My favorite is THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON. Give me something quirky and offbeat, but still kid friendly. #MSWL

It's only the best! I want a graphic novel like OVER THE GARDEN WALL. Or a middle grade. #MSWL forever!

I saw a book pitched like this during #pitmad. I want a MG #MSWL from this.

I totally want a MG or GN that is like OVER THE GARDEN WALL. #MSWL

So one of my favorite upcoming MG novels is THE MORTIFICATION OF FOVEA MUNSON. A book with that kind of humor is my jam #MSWL #MG

Always! I always think Tamora Pierce when I see this. So give me this in fantasy #MG #MSWL
