I'm super into Gilmore Girls right now (duh), so I'd love to see a YA about a close mother-daughter, for better or worse! #mswl

A million yeses to this. #MSWL twitter.com/KatBrzozowski/…

Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks

Looking for diverse authors writing epic #YA sci-fi or fantasy.

Melissa Faulner @la_melisma

I'm just thinking abt opportunities for fandom influence on WIPs. Life imitating art. Self-discovery. All that delicious YA stuff. #mswl

Replying to @la_melisma

@la_melisma I say that because it's a total #MSWL for me, to see those elements meld in a fascinating way essential to the plot.

ME TOO. Though in MG/YA. #MSWL twitter.com/ghostwritingco…

#MSWL #YA Unreliable narrators. Non-linear timelines. Complex relationships. Something *different*.

· 11 Feb 2016

I've got, oh, 8 minutes before my next panel, so maybe a few #MSWL tweets. Big one for me: JESSICA JONES for #YA, aka complex teen girls.

#MSWL Basically, I want #YA/#MG that doesn't assume that only kids from middle class homes can be happy and healthy. SUBVERT THE TROPES.

· 11 Feb 2016

As always, I'm dying for lush magical realism—#MG & #YA. If you're not familiar w/the (very specific) subgenre michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i… #MSWL

Juli Caveny @julicaveny

@michellewitte Gosh.... Will you still want this in a few months? Working on revisions of a YA/HF with a strong dose of feminism and family.

.@Cavewooman I ALWAYS want stories about siblings and families. YA books can have teens living in functional, loving families. Really. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm not into "issue" books in YA as they're often preachy or melodramatic. But if I connect deeply & emotionally w/protagonist—SOLD

· 11 Feb 2016

#MSWL I reallyreallyreally want YA focused on family relationships between sisters, mom. Need something while I'm waiting for Gilmore Girls.
