Wednesday morning #MSWL! I’d love to see a YA version of @netflix’s “You”...creepy stalker love interest and the exploration of the people we become on social media. And a little murder couldn’t hurt. 😬Ditto 👀 #mswl

#MSWL Lightning Round:
--MG with a unique hook and a focus on friendship
--f/f YA that explores the lines between friendship and romance
--Adult psychological thriller that *isn't* about a woman who might be crazy/imagining the whole thing
--Adult SFF that makes me cry

I want someone to pub a YA story where the main character wants to orchestrate the biggest, most spectacular coming out of all time, like a surprise sweet 16. Shenanigans happen, but it all comes together in the end and the MC gets a big smooch from their crush at the end. twitter.com/outseide/statu…SEND ME THIS. #MSWL

Lauren is open to queries again! @laurenspieller
I have a ton of #mswl tweets, as well as a MSWL page & an official Triada wishlist, but here are a few random things I’d love to see...Bisexuality in YA. Make it sexy, make it sweet, make it NBD. Just make it. #mswl

#MSWL I’d like to see a MG or YA featuring a family that reminds me of the Weasleys ❤️

This is the most obvious #MSWL ever, but...
I want books like To All The Boys I've Loved Before, in YA and Adult. This means:

--funny
--diverse!
--contemporary
--family B plots
--HEA
Let's do this!

Lauren [closed to queries in August] @laurenspieller

☻ Middle Grade Fantasy
☻ YA Contemporary
☻ Adult SFF
☻ Adult Psych Thrillers

I'm also still looking for the perfect YA Sci-Fi. Maybe it's a space opera, but it's set in the near future on earth. Maybe it's about weapons, maybe it's about cyber warfare. Whatever it is, I'm looking for a distinct VOICE. #mswl

I'm also looking for upmarket YA Fantasy. I'm a sucker for thoughtful and elegant prose, and deep (not wide) worldbuilding that feels effortless despite it's intricacies. Contemp fantasy, second world fantasy, whatever--it's all great, as long as it sweeps me away. #mswl
