been thinking for a while how.........interesting it is that abortion books are not deemed to be Important in the way that many other social justice issue books areOkay. If you identify as a woman and are writing a YA that involves abortion (specifically from the POV of the girl having the abortion) please send it my way. #mswl

Honestly:1) This is a MOOD.
2) I really want a YA fantasy with girls of color training to be badasses inspired by this.

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
