(Last tweet didn't make sense cause lack of food) BUT What I meant to say was we don't live removed from our actions. We are interconnected. So what does that mean for the next generation? How do they grapple with their history? How do they move society forward?

History is doomed to repeat itself if we don't learn from our actions. And even when we do, as a whole, how do we as a society correct the course? I'm not sure what a YA would look like that deals with these issues and themes, but I'd love to see it. #MSWL

Something I have been thinking about lately as I edited @WillasRamblings's MS and watch BLACK EARTH RISING is the idea of having your future completely changed in an instant. And it has me thing about the deeper idea of working through the trauma and feelings of that.

And the idea of what we owe to one another. And how to we come out of painful histories and move forward as a society. So I interested in seeing books that explore these themes. Not sure what that would look like. It will have to be very nuanced and sensitively done. But #MSWL

#MSWL In MG, I want something timeless, yet quirky in the writing. The voice has to be dead center middle grade for me.

#MSWL I really want a psychological read. I loved TRULY DEVIOUS, BEFORE I LET GO, THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES, SEE ALL THE STARS. Something that keeps me working for that ending.

#MSWL I love romance. Give me YA romance. Rom-coms, star-crossed lovers, slow burns, enemies to lovers. I want to be swept off my feet. Chemistry on the page is what I need to see.
