I am going to open again to queries next Monday. I would really like to see a romance (either YA or mainstream adult) that will sweep me away, a character I will fall in love with in chapter 1, and to add more diversity to my list overall. #mswl QueryManager.com/1621

#mswl MG or YA NF on "lies" taught in schools (particularly interested in the Civil War, myself. Immigration also a good topic). In honor of James Loewen.

I kind of want a YA about a Claudia Conway figure? Her dad is part of the Lincoln Project and her mom works for the White House. She is whistle blowing. Throw in a love interest from the opposite side of the aisle and it's a novel. #mswl

Watching the History Channel show ALONE. Reminds me I still looking for a female survival story (MG preferable but YA also maybe). Like MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN or HATCHET. #mswlOr maybe like CASTAWAY. This idea of being alone for so long is particularly interesting to me now. #mswl

Listening to podcast with @irin about the Weinstein trial. She says, regarding his defense strategy. “She said if Weinstein is convicted, then we'll have a world in which women will never be asked out on a date and never get the door held open for them.”Now I don’t represent genre romance, would love women’s fiction or YA about finding love after a sexual assault. #mswl

Been thinking about how I would like a YA or MG at an all girl's school. But not a fancy one. Supernatural elements welcome but not necessary. #mswl

A YA or MG about a kid opposing the school board or local official. Maybe about banned books. And family supporting him/her. #MSWL
