Lately, I'm obsessed with the podcast Normal Gossip. I'd love some fiction for any age that incorporates or relies on gossip - and not necessarily as a negative method of communication. #MSWL

I'd love a zeigtgeisty absurdist critique of modern inequalities (adult or YA) along the lines of White Lotus or Knives Out, ideally from the POV of marginalized characters.

Bonus points if it feels as unsettling as the White Lotus theme song! #MSWL

Speculative stories - I'm NOT a good fit for rigid dystopias full of government control and categorization of the populace.

Please send me speculative worlds that look like ours with One Big Change. Show me the human response to disaster, politics, or climate change. #MSWL

It's been a minute since I updated my wishlist on twitter, so...get ready for a #MSWL thread!!! pic.twitter.com/5YCtHYHCbn

I'd really love to see more middle grade, particularly ones that tackle mental health and other difficult topics.

I'm also on a big MG in verse kick, and I'd like to see that in my inbox. #MSWL

For adult, I'd love something along the lines of Evelyn Hugo but inspired by "The Last Great American Dynasty." #MSWL

In general, while I'm open to YA fantasy submissions, I would prefer fantasy that does NOT center around war, soldiers, or assassins. I love political intrigue, though, as well as emotional journeys. #MSWL

I'm still looking for a great YA friendship breakup story, in the vein of Ashley Woodfolk and Amy Spalding, with or without a romance component. #MSWL

I'd be interested in a YA or MG cli-fi take along the lines of these photos.

In general, I'd like to see a YA near-future speculative take on where our world is headed. Light on the dystopia, heavy on the creative speculation. #MSWL

I'd love to see MG books about growing up along the lines of Turning Red, or a layered family story like Encanto — contemporary or with a magical element! #MSWL
