I suppose it’s that time again. A new #MSWL thread for the new year! 🤞🏻 pic.twitter.com/wIlpiwFUSl

Let’s start with literary fiction, because that’s what I’m the most eager to read as 2023 begins. Contemporary voices, unusual storytelling structures, complicated platonic and romantic relationships, upmarket genre novels. I want beautiful prose with a splashy concept. #MSWL

Maria, Maria 🎶 @msmariavicente

A very dark fairy tale retelling for YA. Think "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter in novel-form for a slightly younger audience. #MSWL

Contemporary YA Romance featuring a gay or lesbian couple. #MSWL

Maria, Maria 🎶 @msmariavicente

Eerie mystery for YA. Unusual structure or elements. Think NIGHT FILM for a younger market. #MSWL

Replying to @msmariavicente

YA with a protagonist like Blaine Anderson (Glee): slightly nerdy, hopeless romantic, perfectionist, angsty. #MSWL

This is a major wish list item: YA featuring an online friendship started through fandom. #MSWL

Replying to @msmariavicente

A really good contemporary YA romance. F/F, M/F, M/M, or even non-binary — don't care, as long as the chemistry is good. #MSWL

I want a contemporary YA that features a m/m or f/f romance, but it still needs a fresh hook beyond the relationship. #MSWL
