@TheBloggess Marie Antoinette after she has been mauled by a rabid bear.

I would totally read this book. #MSWL?

@michellewitte I know of some agents who let it slide for #MSWL queries, but do you? (I'm just curious )

Replying to @Coffee_Is_love

Not unless I mention specifically in a #MSWL tweet that I'll take queries for it while I'm closed.

Magic Realism Bot @MagicRealismBot

A scholar sees an opera about a puppet that can destroy the emperor, and becomes obsessed with finding it.

Man, I would so read a story about this. #MSWL?

Holy crap this would be amazing. Fell in love with Winter's Tale when I saw performance in London years ago. #MSWL

If anyone wants to write me a teen bromance as magical as this one, I'm in. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/xOpMBCdP86

OH HOLY CRAP YES. #mswl

Elizabeth Lynch @eliz_lynch

I love side-character romance. Possibly more than full-on romance. Show me the YA where the best friend and the brother fall in love #MSWL

Related: I want ms STARRING the side characters. Average people who aren't the epic heroes or chosen ones. #MSWL

Elizabeth Lynch @eliz_lynch

While we're at it, 20s era historical in general. #MSWL

I'm for everything Belle Epoch, Gilded Age, Art Nouveau, Art Deco. Give me something w/that feel and I'm yours #MSWL

Alex Arnold @alexyarnold

I would love a feminist-as-hell YA about a coven of witches. I can imagine a bunch of awesome interpretations of this setup. #MSWL

I've been rewatching CHARMED recently, and I would so love to find a YA in that vein. Sisters, girl friends. #MSWL

Chris Hernandez @ChrisCanWrite

Creepy middle grade that's more about the emotion than the horror factor--like that you'd see from Neil Gaiman or Holly Black. #mswl

Exactly this. #mswl

I always forget to mention that I want ms with diverse characters and authors, especially #ownvoices. It's like a no-brainer for me. #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

Most of my older #MSWL tweets still apply, so if I tweeted about it a year ago but haven't mentioned recently, I'll probably still want it.

Natascha Morris on Vacation @SoCalledYALife

Broad #MSWL: I want characters with great chemistry. I look for the "fiz" feeling: happiness, swoon worthy, and hook.

SEXUAL TENSION FTW #mswl

Annie Berger @EditorALB

Funny/sophisticated middle-grade with a mystery. Like The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place or The Mysterious Benedict Society #MSWL

All the yesses to this. #MSWL

· 30 Jun 2016

A reminder: I'm currently closed to queries, but you can fave or bookmark my #MSWL tweets for when I reopen, probably sometimes in the fall.

YA/MG that's dark, spooky, atmospheric. Gothic and/or Southern Gothic tone. #MSWL Think CURIOUS TALE OF IN-BETWEEN amzn.to/298gox8

· 30 Jun 2016

Magical realism, forever and ever. YA or MG. #MSWL Not sure what that is? I did series of posts explaining it here: michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i…
