For the love of God, I NEED YA thrillers, mysteries and Adult Domestic Suspense outside of the suburbs. I don’t GIVE A FUCK about this setting anymore. OVER IT!!

I am over here nodding along to ALL of @kianangu #MSWL tweets, but REALLY nodding at this one.

hi, yes, hello,

I'd really like to see, not only more black main characters in YA, but also black characters with black support systems; familial, friend, professional, academic.

Our readers should see themselves succeed, but so should our characters. pic.twitter.com/4zO0iPeNBl

Even when I was applying to schools, this wasn't realistic, and it has gotten even harder. I'd like to see some more reality in this in YA.

Replying to @caitief

So #MSWL for contemp YA w/ seniors making that college decision. Valedictorians apply (and go to!) state schools - they are GREAT schools.

I still want the epic YA SFF – big battles, sweeping love stories, brilliant world building, unforgettable characters. #MSWL

· 8 Feb 2017

In YA and MG, I’d really like to see books of all genres with hope and humor. We all need escapism and joy, again, esp starring POC. #MSWL

Adult and YA books that feature a childfree woman who doesn't change her mind. Doesn't have ot just be about that though! #MSWL

Still desperate for this one too. #MSWL

YA or women's fiction about internet friendship that lasts. #MSWL

MG or YA historical fiction like @RutaSepetys - forgotten history and really deep research. #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

I would love to see something about coming back to real life after a reality show - MG, YA, or adult! #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

This one is very specific: MG or YA about character getting involved in local campaign about an issue #MSWL
