#MSWL: anti-colonialist adult #SFF that’s not just about throwing off the hegemon’s rule, but also the complexities of economic independence, recovering lost cultural heritage, & constituting a government that doesn’t replicate oppressive structures put in place by the colonizer.This too, please! #MSWL

#MSWL: adult #SFF where the real enemy isn’t one malicious individual or group—it’s a system, but the toppling of said system would inflict massive collateral damage on unsuspecting innocents. And then, if the revolution succeeds—what happens next?And you can just send such a book on through me, if you like. Wow! 😍#MSWL

Lyrical or literary stories that don't lose focus on character like THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON. #MSWL (3/3)
Literary Agent
Middle grade stories that dig into the deeper questions like A WRINKLE IN TIME and THE GIVER. #MSWL (2/3)

And since I am particularly craving MG, I'll include some of my most desired elements today. If you have these, do send them!
Creepy or spooky stories that are still age-appropriate like CORALINE. #MSWL (1/3)

I'd also love to see anti-heroes or morally grey characters as the main protagonist across age groups. #MSWL

Anything mg or YA that can be comped to AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, especially if it heals my poor Zutara-shipping heart. Most of all, I love the character interactions in ATLB, the fully-realized sweetness and depth. Plus the unique world! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'd love to see YA rom-com featuring underrepresented voices. #MSWL TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE has left a void in my heart.

*banshee wail*QUEER FOLKS DESERVE BOOKS WITH LOW-CONFLICT THAT STILL INVOLVES MAGIC. QUEER FOLKS DESERVE BOOKS WHERE THE CONFLICT DOES NOT STEM FROM BEING QUEER. QUEER FOLKS DESERVE BOOKS WHERE MAGIC SWIRLS AROUND THEM. QUEER FOLKS DESERVE TROPEY, CAMPY, SEXY BOOKS.
And while I'm at it, I #MSWL this.
Also, I'm going to pick up this lovely-sounding book.

I know I said I wasn't going to tweet until later, but before I go back to work, I have one request I want to make sure is seen: POSITIVE FAT REP IN FICTION. Please. Like, pretty please. Any subgenre. I don't care if they are space pirates or in a rom-com just get it to me. #MSWL
