#MSWL For when I reopen, a thought-provoking but commercial YA from the perspective of the "mean girl" (but I want to understand her, her motivations, background, and want the audience to feel sympathetic towards her).

“Send me all your ghost stories. I'll take adult fiction (scary or fun), a history of haunted places in America, an illustrated book—you name it, I'm here for it. Spook me!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Oh I forgot the magic tag. #MSWL for books about abortion providers and abortion provider networks. Fiction or nonfiction. Less Handmaid's Tale, more Jane Collective.

#MSWL because this is my fav of favs 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

BONUS: if you send me a MS with this and we end up on a call there is a 99% chance you will hear all about WHY this is fav version of this trope not once... but TWICE over.

“Remember the trend of adult couple resort romcom movies? Share with me your diverse thriller/suspense equivalents.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

More #MSWL: A rich, commercial summer story set in a traditionally Black beach community like Highland Beach, Maryland, Idlewild, Michigan, or Oak Bluffs, Mass

More #MSWL: a novel like COUNTERFEIT -- entertaining, glittery, and satisfying on the level of plot-heavy, page-turning caper or romp, but also delivering on serious themes, exploring questions of race, identity, and consumerism

Still more #MSWL: a modern take on BBC classic Upstairs, Downstairs -- featuring relationships and tension between door staff of an urban apartment building and tenants, exploring class, race, and wealth disparity

More #MSWL: High-concept stories about being caught between two cultures (think Jhumpa Lahiri but more commercial)

More #MSWL: Historical fiction centered on witches (and/or including magical elements), featuring well-researched, authentic period detail. I'd love a story in this space that borrows from actual events and re-imagines them in an original way

New #MSWL: Historical fiction like POSSESSION -- with nerdy academics and "original" source research at the core, but also, sexy, exciting, and tension-filled. Always a fan of hist. fic. that has a race-against-time element.

This energy as a YA novel #mswl

& something really specific I have on my forever wishlist that I can't stop thinking about is a YA novel set in the DIY punk scene. It's such a formative experience growing up as one of those kids & I'd love to see a coming-of-age or rom-com @ a punk venue! #PipelineAuthors #MSWL
