I’d like to read a YA that has the *vibes* of RESERVATION DOGS on Hulu #MSWL

(By the way I would still hella love a teen rom-com or fun MG mystery set in the modern Tower of London featuring children of Yeoman Warders who live there — the curfew shenanigans alone would be gold!) #MSWL

I LOVE the iconic buildings of Paul R. Williams, but I had no idea how important he and his work really were. I would love to see a picture book about this man and his architecture. #mswl

Finally ...

* I’m always looking to be surprised. I suspect the next manuscript I fall in love with will be something I never could have known to ask for. 😘

#MSWL

(I mean also witches, obviously?) (And fierce girls changing the world!) #mswl

* Middle grade and YA fiction & graphic novels from perspectives that often feel left out of publishing, including LGBTQIA themes. Especially if they are:

* Funny! Heartfelt! Adventures! All of the above! Basically, I LOVE middle grade and YA fiction and graphic novels!
#MSWL

What I'm looking for in 2020:

* Graphic novelists & picture book auth/illustrators with tremendous wit, heart, style and flair - my taste in art tends toward the quirky, textured, European, with a strong line and lots of movement - may BE digital, but doesn't LOOK digital #mswl

I updated my #MSWL page. I’m looking for MG, YA, kids/teen GN, and author-illustrators. Great writing a must, high concept a plus, and diversity in all ways is welcome. I love your queer, weird, funny, beautiful, nerdy SHENANIGANS. More info: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/jenn…

Oh by the by: I am seeing all the Vampire love on my TL, and I should mention: I AM ALSO here for Vampire books, particularly Not-RichWhiteMan Vamps. #vampirebooks #mswl

#MSWL !!!!!

I would like a picture book about NOLA chef Leah Chase. Preferably written by someone with deep roots in New Orleans. #MSWL 🦐🥘⚜️

I might be mis-remembering but I THINK I have NEVER seen a Hindu-kid MG or YA contemp (not fantasy) in my inbox. Would read! #MSWL

PS:

adorable queers cracking jokes and kissing and being extra, the book

thank u . #MSWL

#mswl

I want to read the "Dear White People" of YA books. #DearWhitePeople #mswl

It's apparently #MSWL day. Ummm... I guess I want kids/YA books that'll change the world. Too much to ask? Probably. :-/

There's a limit to the times I can listen to Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" but I haven't reached it yet. (THIS BUT A YA BOOK) #mswl

PS I still really wanna read a MG or YA book starring kids/teens whose parents are Yeoman Warders and who live in the Tower. Specific #mswl

I want a manuscript that gives me as many emotions as @CynthiaEriVo singing "Still Hurting" #MSWL
