YA historical featuring a trans/NB mc w/the gorgeous evocative prose of The Last Night at the Telegraph Club. A sense of angst, discovery, desire, a bit of complexity. If I'd had TLNATTC when I was younger, I'd have understood myself earlier. I want that for trans/NB teens #mswl

I’ve been doing a whole re-watch of The Amazing Race with my mom and sister, and I would absolutely love to find a romance set on a competitive reality show like TAR or Survivor or even GBBO!

Bob’s Burgers is such a comfort show for me. I’d love to see more sibling dynamics like Louise, Gene & Tina’s and more MG characters with Louise’s fearlessness, humour, and sarcasm #MSWL

Arts and crafts. I'm a quilter and crafter. Give me books on sewing, quilting, and other crafts. Books on how to create an Etsy/craft business would also be good.

This is a major want: give me your nonfiction emotional intelligence books. Narrative is okay IF you are a professional and have the science and research to back it up. I want the next The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F@ck. I'd also love to see an EQ book geared for teens.

First, send me all the business proposals. Everything from social media marketing, leadership strategies, communication, and motivation. Additionally, how can we care for employees while growing a business?
