@GayathriKWrites I propose a new Leverage series called BOOK CRIMES. 😂

#MSWL, honestly

It's hard to think of #MSWL items when my feed is filled with disheartening news. One certainty: I'm looking for diverse #ownvoices.

Ocean's Eleven with an all-female cast has been on my #MSWL forever, I never thought it could be real!!! twitter.com/Deadline/statu…

Amy Boggs @notjustanyboggs

SF/F where LGBTQ+ is and has always been seen as a natural part of the world. Worlds that don't reflect our current bias. #MSWL

please and thank you #MSWL twitter.com/notjustanybogg…

Do you know what identity porn is? Hint: it has nothing to do with actual porn. fanlore.org/wiki/Identity_…

Replying to @literallycait

It's the name for the narrative trope "secret identities causing relationship drama," and I LOVE IT. Send me stories w/ identity porn! #MSWL

Story idea: Ouran High School Heist Club. #MSWL

Heist

I'm tired of broody or aggressive love interests. Give me a LI who is a huge loser puppy like Alistair in Dragon Age: Origins. #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

Getting more specific on #MSWL: I'm a huge foodie/cook & would love a YA involving food or cooking competitions in some way.

Also always looking for SFF stories that address important real-world topics/themes in thoughtful ways a la Ursula LeGuin, #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

Also when you're sending me diverse queries, I love to know if they are #ownvoices! That is always a plus in my book. #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

As always, stories about women and female friendships, rivalries, & relationships (platonic or otherwise) are always high on my #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

I don't sign a lot of MG, but for an idea of what I like: ARTEMIS FOWL, The Bartimaeus trilogy, FLY BY NIGHT by Francis Hardinge #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

Every #MSWL I rave about Leverage and how much I want a Leverage-esque novel. STILL TRUE. Send me your found-family heist stories!

Heist

· 30 Jun 2016

ok so #mswl! I am always looking for amazing ensemble casts, epistolary or non-traditional narrative structures, and all kinds of diversity.

Diverse

Talking w @KateMcBooks about her #FaradayFiles books the other week made me realize how awesome Hufflepuff protags are. Send me more! #MSWL

I feel like this goes w/o saying but I'm really really dying for non-Western fantasy. Either on Earth or a secondary-world is fine. #MSWL

· 11 Feb 2016

BTW, I also handle nonfiction, so hit me up with any particularly geeky book proposals you might have! #MSWL

· 11 Feb 2016

Also looking for stories set in unusual or remote locations. Could be SFF or contemporary, but stays in the region, not transitory. #MSWL
