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

A very dark fairy tale retelling for YA. Think "The Bloody Chamber" by Angela Carter in novel-form for a slightly younger audience. #MSWLContemporary YA Romance featuring a gay or lesbian couple. #MSWL

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