I want THIS movie. twitter.com/MuslimIQ/statu…

I fully support this. Also, if you've got something similar in YA/MG, HIT ME WITH IT. #MSWL

(One day before I leave this Earth, someone is going to put a Black woman or girl atop a dragon. She will fly & 🔥🐉. And I will LIVE, honey.)

Definitely on my #MSWL. Definitely definitely. (YA/MG)

Ooh, @SarahAddisonAll's Peach Keeper is $1.99 on Kindle amzn.to/2tIH3qe & Nook barnesandnoble.com/w/peach-keeper… Magical realism at its finest

#MSWL I'm dying to find great magical realism (YA/MG). One of my fave writers is Sarah Addison Allen, so like her books but for teens.

Massive tunnels in South America are likely the remains of long-extinct giant mammals: trib.al/BqQ04TY pic.twitter.com/0rypMop0t8

I have no idea how you'd turn this into a YA/MG story, but #MSWL to anyone who succeeds.

Your reminder that "California" is named for a fictional island of griffin-riding Amazonian black women in a 15th C. Spanish fantasy novel.

Um, yes please. #MSWL #YA

I totally want this as mg or ya. I'd also like to find one in my back yard. Now where did I put the carrots... #mswl

Still closed to queries until sometime in January. When I reopen I'd love to see MG/YA #ownvoices of life on rez a la Part-Time Indian #MSWL

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…

Replying to @michellewitte

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

Victoria/V.E. Schwab @veschwab

Things I have been called: bully, jealous ex, vengeful, bitch. All for summing up the problematic behavior of a successful male author.

Okay, fine, I'll allow one exception to my query pile closure: MG/YA nonfiction (prescriptive or narrative). #MSWL Sorry, but no PB nonfic.

Magic Realism Bot @MagicRealismBot

A beauty therapist switches bodies with a ghoul.

Make that a YA and I'd so #mswl that.

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

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

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…
