Omg MG #mswl pic.twitter.com/bXDff9Tu5M

I’d love to see a MG with a fun premise that still tackles social skills + behavior, in particular one that explores the strengths of kids who feel “different” #mswl twitter.com/laurenspieller…

I want a book that truly messes with your perception of reality. Not just a psychological thriller, but a truly, mind-bending, House of Leaves-type book that blasts away all previous notions of what a book can be #MSWL

I’m officially open to queries again! 🎉 I am especially eager to find MG, Adult thrillers, + upmarket Adult SFF. However, you can find my full wishlist (and submission guidelines) on the Triada website, MSWL website, or #mswl hashtag. I look forward to hearing from you! 📚

This lake is 16,500 feet above sea level and is frozen most of the year. But on warmer days, hundreds of human skeletons, some with flesh still attached, emerge from it. A new study has uncovered more of the mystery of "Skeleton Lake." nyti.ms/2za1AaL

Katy Rose Pool @KatyPool

Look I love morally gray/antihero type characters (and There Will Come a Darkness certainly has a few) but I also love characters who are morally righteous and struggling with maintaining their ideals in an unjust world

I mean. #mswl

John Cusick @johnmcusick

@laurenspieller I don't know if it's my favorite podcast, but "Fiasco" on This American Life is a classic.

Just listened to this episode over my lunch break & now I am desperate for a book that could arguably be titled THE FIASCO. #mswl

Is anyone writing a YA novel about a queer teen's mind being blown upon reading these letters and then petitioning their high school to change the curriculum's portrayal of Emily Dickenson? Because I super want to publish that #mswl twitter.com/annabroges/sta…

Julia McCarthy @thejumbles

I want to believe that stories can change hearts. I’m actively seeking stories about immigrants, refugees, and the marginalized, so please send me your graphic novels, your picture books, your YA, your MG! Love and empathy and awareness can be radical. #MSWL

Ditto on this #mswl. I often feel helpless these days, but putting radical books into the world makes a difference. #mswl

Kate Prosswimmer @kap212

Last weekend's Saturday plans gave me a new #mswl request - a YA thriller set on Governors Island (or someplace similar) after dark!
A contained situation where safety is visible but out of reach 👍🏻
A ton of similar-looking buildings (disorienting but many places to hide!) 👍🏻

oh my gosh who is going to write this for meeee (and Kate) #mswl
