Stories featuring South Asians. Where are my queer/disabled Desis? Where are my Desi immigrants realizing they aren’t FOBs anymore? #MSWL

Delightfully spooky and strange MG stories with humor and depth and lush literary-leaning writing. #MSWL

Stories that challenge children to think critically about things without being prescriptive or instructive. #MSWL

Did you know I was in a multilingual acapella group in college? Well, now you know. #MSWL

Stories set OUTSIDE of New York City. Preferably outside of the US. Stories that incorporate multilingualism with craft and purpose. #MSWL

Correction: stories about meaningful relationships between people across the gender and sexuality spectrums. #MSWL

Stories that engage w/ intersectional feminism. Meaningful non-cishet relationships across the platonic/romantic/aromantic spectrum. #MSWL

Stories with very flawed but somehow personable characters making poor decisions. Stories with bold plotting and big character arcs. #MSWL

Stories that inspire spirited discussion and deep self-reflection; stories that make me feel powerful, unexpected emotions. #MSWL

Stories that explore the messy boundary b/w selfishness + selflessness; that explore the significance/nature of personal motivation. #MSWL

First and foremost, I want stories that center marginalized experiences. Stories where being atypical in any way is not a curiosity. #MSWL

YESS and I want to see multidimensional #muslimsinlove that don't pander to the Western gaze; stories where they aren't curiosities. #MSWL
