The song drinking games by Silver Sphere is exactly the kind of vibe I want in queer friendships and queer romances in YA and queer Adult romance #mswl (Can yβall tell by now that I want to read stories about βmisfitβ friend groups????!??)

I am DYING for a second chance romance in YA or Adult. Exes or distanced lovers who never quite fit right when they were first together, whatever the reason! I love being able to see an old relationship with opened eyes as the new one grows. #mswl

Going down a YA murder mystery rabbit-hole & I canβt help but wonder what a YA suspense from the killerβs perspective would read like, with readers totally unaware until the end. It would take a crazy level of plotting and imagination to pull it off & have it be a surprise. #MSWLWriters, if you write this, Iβd love to get it in my queries! #mswl

I just want a contemporary YA featuring queer, angsty alt kids, damn it! #mswl

Urban Legend is one of my favorite movies from childhood. I burned the shit out of our VHS. I would love an Urban Legend + The Craft YA or Adult Horror or Spec Fic. Make sure to queer it up, too! #mswl

I need more kids in YA who are incarcerated, recently incarcerated, friends with incarcerated kids, etc and show them in all their multifaceted complexities. We are doing an absolute disservice to these kids in our fiction. #mswl

Make my agent DREAMS and give me a Freaks and Geeks/Empire Records YA. The βfuck ups,β βgrungy,β attitude-heavy kids #mswl

And another #mswl in the thriller space: I am horribly obsessed with true crime about cults, and family secrets that lead to deadly outcomes, and wild stuff like this. In Adult, especially, and in YA!

Before I forget! I love historical romance, historical fantasies, alternate historical fantasies etc etc in YA and Adult. Iβd LOVE an f/f in a period story! Like duchess debauchery or some shit. With WOC!!! Bc racism is a recent phenomenon. #mswl

In YA/Adult fantasy, idgaf about saving the world, but a MC using the backdrop of a good vs evil world conflict to get shit done in pursuit of selfish goals? YES #mswl

Not a sports book, but main characters and/or love interests who play sports. Sports aren't queer, per se, but queer folks who play sports are hot and we NEED MORE IN YA #mswl Look, ultimate frisbee is GAY AS HELL - where's the book with that love interest?Just to be clear: this includes my wants for Adult romance too! #mswl
