Julia McCarthy @thejumbles

I really just want to work on a graphic novel about magic and friendship and #LatinX culture and identity and laughs for days #MSWL

YES! #MSWL

My current #MSWL:
- toxic female friendships
- spooky suspense (maybe w/ supernatural/horror bent)
- suspense featuring cults and witches (a la, THE CRAFT)
- family dysfunction + messed up secrets
- female serial killers

This is my exact #MSWL. Chesley, you been poking around in my brain?

Expanding on my #MSWL - THREAD:
I want to see wild, original fantasy. So if you're thinking, "Well, my manuscript isn't what ppl typically expect from fantasy... there are no elves or enchanted woods or elemental creatures, but really different fantasy elements..." QUERY ME PLZ

Same but for #YA #MSWL

#MSWL still looking for my gender-swapped Hercules retelling (or LGBT+ Hercules!). Also still on the hunt for a great underwater escapade, perhaps mermaids (creepy or complicated, not typical-disney feel) but not mandatory.

Kaitlyn is poaching on my #MSWL because all mermaids should be sent to me. I want to a THIRTEENTH YEAR. I want creepy mermaids and space mermaids.

#MSWL Southern Gothic is high on my list. YA or A; historical fiction/fantasy, contemporary, urban fantasy, magical realism. Bonus points for local legend and bayou storylines.

I will fight you, Kaitlyn. Southern Gothic is my thing! #MSWL

Hearing lots of noise from privileged writers who should probs channel energy toward writing books instead of being trashfire. Their wasted time=time marginalized folk are taking to write faster, better books. So here's a #1linewed from my MC, a proud as fuck child of immigrants. pic.twitter.com/IICwspeeCy

This is the writing and voice I want when I read my immigrant #MSWL. It's like she took a knife to my soul and exposed my emotional center. 😭

#MSWL fantasy spy mash up. What if the Cold War was set in a high fantasy and some spy intrigue had to go down? Brought to you by the show COUNTERPART which everyone should watch $

@kurestinarmada yes!!! i also want to see a princess who takes her political duties seriously & recognises that her personal desire to marry for love might be a smidge less important than the thousands of lives resting on a political marriage #mswl

OMG YES #MSWL

CREEPY MERMAIDS! Have I not been saying this for years?! twitter.com/OnceABC/status…

I don't care if mermaids don't sell, I will gladly take a creepy mermaid #MSWL.

#MSWL for picture books. This is the diversity and fun books I NEED more of. @JessieSima can do no wrong and this is my gold standard now for PBs.

#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.

#MSWL More romance in epic, high-stakes, world-ending fantasy! @NiviaEvans and I are on a quest to make this genre a thing again because "love is not dumb, it's dopamine".

#YA version for me. But I do love a good romance. #MSWL

Sometimes I forget not everyone grew up with a mother obsessed with true crime and serial killers. A novel along the lines of Netflix's MINDHUNTER meets THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES would be 👌🙌 #MSWL

SAME! YA obviously #MSWL

Thank you Denene Millner for this thought-provoking piece about diversity in children's books. .

The typical children’s picture books featuring black characters focus on the degradation and endurance of our people. You can fill nearly half the … ift.tt/2p1si0j pic.twitter.com/jWcKmZCjOD
