Stories like the one @AliaHanna tells about her Rust Belt upbringing defy easy narratives, and are so crucial. buzzfeed.com/aliahanna/i-gr…Beautiful piece on growing up an outsider in Rust Belt. Also, #MSWL. Or if @AliaHanna ever writes a kids book. Ahem.

Man, I would LOVE to see a YA called Vengeful Bitch about a group of teen girls who take down the patriarchy in their school or city. #MSWL twitter.com/veschwab/statu…Kinda like Frankie Landau-Banks but with Hermione leading a revolution. I would weep in joy if I ever saw that in my inbox. #MSWL

YA that shows understanding of the genre, yet breaks rules, follows no formulas, & couldn't possibly be described of being derivative. #MSWLThis is like the holy grail for agents. Ahem. #MSWL

Okay, fine, I'll allow one exception to my query pile closure: MG/YA nonfiction (prescriptive or narrative). #MSWL Sorry, but no PB nonfic.Also, if your book features talking animals or is told from animal's POV it is NOT nonfiction. You'd be surprised how much I see this. #MSWL

@michellewitte I know of some agents who let it slide for #MSWL queries, but do you? (I'm just curious )Not unless I mention specifically in a #MSWL tweet that I'll take queries for it while I'm closed.

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