I, like everyone else, have been obsessed with "Anti-Hero" for months.

If your YA character would say "I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror," then hi, hello, I want to see your book. #MSWL

I'm still dying for a Do Revenge YA book!!! #MSWL

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

Anything like this poem, especially the last two lines. #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

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

#MSWL if anyone’s writing historical mysteries about William H. West, I would love to see them!

Also, can I just say #MSWL 100x over!!! I need a diverse story that is darkly humorous and acerbic but still with a lot of heart.

I can't look at #MoodPitch today 😞 but I'm going to list a couple random #mswl wants I've been thinking abt lately:

🍩 contemp sff in the vein of LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS: gorgeous, moving, queer, making magic out of the ordinary
