Consider this a request! #mswl

Monster girls. That is all. #mswl

If you're voting for Trump, please don't query me. It's nothing personal--I just think you're an immoral, selfish monster :) #mswl

Ditto tho #mswl

Set a book here, please. #mswl

Writers! I am craving adult books. Send me your contemporary romance + romcoms, your suspense and thrillers, your horror + SFF, and your non-fic as long as it has a platform! I’m also very interested in reading genre bending books, so send those too! #mswl

Thinking about how great THE MONSTRUMOLOGIST is, and how I want MG horror that takes kids as seriously as that book does. #mswl

Hi. #mswl

#mswl

#MSWL!

I’m really looking forward to #KidLitGN! I’ll be looking for MG + YA graphic novels from authors and author/illustrators. I love realism and magic and science and horror—I love it all! I’m also particularly keen to find projects from diverse creators! #mswl

Omg yes 👀 #mswl

I’m still waiting on my heist book. #mswl

Oh my goodness I didn't know this was happening! I am *so* in. #KidLitGN #GraphicNovels #mswl

I would like to read a YA RomCom set in the time of corona. You have to make it work while still having them behave safely (masks! 6ft apart!). Anybody working on this? #mswl

A female character who is Like Other Girls. #mswl

WAIT! I forgot something that I am absolutely craving: graphic novels for MG + YA!!!!! #gn #mswl

Aaaand that's a wrap on my top 5 wishlist items for the rest of 2020!

But remember, these aren't the ONLY things I'm looking for. For my FULL wishlist, check out this link: see manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur… for my full wishlist)

I can't wait to hear from you!! #mswl

And finally...

5. MG with a Big Hook! I like funny books and magical books and sad books and creepy books. In other words, I'm open to any genre, as long as it has a fun, snappy premise that'll get a kid's attention!

4. LatinX representation in kidlit- all ages, all genres, though I am particularly interested in finding a YA contemp & a MG fantasy! A few favorites: @LauraTNamey, @Nina_Writes, @acevedowrites, @djolder, and @CeliaCPerez. (You should be reading *all* of them!)
