Ruqayyah Daud @rsdaud
can someone please write a middle-grade book about an all-girls step team? so many sports books but not one i've seen about stepping. i was briefly on the step team in 7th grade and there's lots of drama to write about! #mswlI want this so much #MSWL

Joker Movie @jokermovie
Put on a happy face. #JokerMovie - in theaters October 4. pic.twitter.com/TxF3JqxjjrThis is the kind of villain as protagonist origin story i want in YA #MSWL. I might be too scared to watch the movie though, but damn do I relate to Joker now.

Hello my nonfiction writing friends! I have a TON of #mswl tweets for you this morning, so buckle up.I often tease @wensday95 by saying I am the children's version of her #MSWL but you know what, these look really cool and if you send them to her, I wouldn't mind trying to find a YRE angle.

(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 Books about other cultures. My immigrant-child self wants to feel connected to our global world right now and I want to see child of the world having fun and living their lives.

#MSWL I'd love someone like J. Anderson Coats or Gail Carson Levine or Sherwood Smith.
