@renarossner That show is my fave!I am desperately waiting for paranormal to come back in publishing for my Lucifer-esque ms...though I may be waiting forever 😂
I really liked Legacies
My kingdom for a Lucifer-like YA. #MSWL

I have to say that I want a book that makes me feel everything I felt in the last 10 minutes of the last Lucifer episode. Star crossed lovers get me every time. #MSWL

I never went to prom because I grew up Orthodox. But my BFF and I used to try on all the prom dresses at Marshalls. Can I get this as a YA book please? #MSWL #YAGoesToProm

Ooo, let's see:- SFF with room for domesticity, introspection, and relationship-level stakes rather than/alongside apocalyptic stakes, inclusive of non-romantic relationships
- Interesting/experimental story structure
- Marginalized authors using and/or deconstructing SFF tropes twitter.com/FlourishStorie…
Agreed! #MSWL

@PJLibrary Definitely more intersectional Jews, especially Jews of color, and Jews who aren't Ashkenazi. Where are the Syrian, Persian, Moroccan, etc.? And I'd love to see more Jewish characters who embrace rather than resent observance. #DiverseJewishKidLit#MSWL x 1000

👻 nikkee is feeling spookee 🍂 @xonikkee
can we have more about toxic friendships in YA? about how hard it is to walk away from a relationship that might be more intimate than a romantic one? about how toxic friendships can cut you deeper than you could imagine?Rena *THE SISTERS OF THE WINTER WOOD* Rossner @renarossner · 13 Sep 2018

In certain Jewish folktales, Lilith and other female vampires frequently appear to their victims as beautiful cats in order to charm them.Conclusion: I will DEFINITELY be the first person to die in that horror movie. #FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/6lOntUIxuF

Ask @ryandouglassw, @KatyaDeBecerra, @LizParkerWrites and @2furiosa - I like my YA dark. Horror, dark fantasy, paranormal, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, spirits. Scare me and you’ll win my heart. #MSWL MG, YA, and Adult.

I would really really love to find an adult upmarket, literary novel to work on. Something that will make me cry. Bonus points for magical realism. #MSWL
Rena *THE SISTERS OF THE WINTER WOOD* Rossner @renarossner · 13 Sep 2018
I am so proud to represent MG and YA based on diverse mythologies and cultures like @thebookGLUTTON’s CHARLIE HERNANDEZ AND THE LEAGUE OF SHADOWS, and @KSekouM’s TRISTAN STRONG PUNCHES A HOLE IN THE SKY, but I want more! #MSWL in MG, YA, and Adult.
Rena *THE SISTERS OF THE WINTER WOOD* Rossner @renarossner · 13 Sep 2018
I want more epistolary, non-traditionally-told stories, like @_CoryLeonardo’s incredible upcoming THE SIMPLE ART OF FLYING, give me snippets of letters, poems, medical logs, in MG, YA or Adult. #MSWL
Rena *THE SISTERS OF THE WINTER WOOD* Rossner @renarossner · 12 Sep 2018
I’m from Miami and I am desperate for more YA, MG and Adult fiction set there. Especially books that explore the diverse culture I grew up with there. #MSWL

JEWISH FANTASY. (And SciFi) #MSWL

And on a final note, #MSWL a thousand times, I want to see immigrant stories in my inbox like @kellyyanghk’s FRONT DESK, and novels in verse or short novels in prose, that are hard hitting, timely and emotionally resonant like @alisonmcghee’s WHAT I LEAVE BEHIND.We don’t have enough short books that don’t shy away from difficult topics, that don’t talk down to kids and teens who are struggling readers, books that help struggling readers fall in love with literature despite their learning challenges. 100 words can change a life. #MSWL
