#MSWL These are the kinds of details that build a convincing, contemporary YA world. Teens are intertwined with digital communication, and they're secretive, which means they're going to figure this shit out on their own. So much to mine! Write it true.

If you have middle grade or YA project that feels like #OneDayAtATime with all of that amazing diverse representation, please send it my way. I’ll need to fill the hole created by its cancellation. #mswl

One of the things good gothic fantasy & claustrophobic scary spaceship stories have in common is that they both do setting-as-character well.

Really, any setting can be made to feel like a character. Creepy castle? Floating city? Jungle that *devours* people? YES.

Anyway—#mswl!

This will come as no surprise to my Twitter followers, given the inexplicably high volume of raccoon videos I retweet: I want/need a picture book about raccoons. #MSWL

Also please pitch me your quirky cookbook projects. I love stuff like this. 👌🏽🥃 #mswl

Putting this out into the universe again. I would love to see more novels about POC navigating a college campus #mswl

“When you don't have anything other than your voice, you have to use it,” Haven Coleman, a 12-year-old striker in Denver, Colorado. “We have to fight for our future because adults aren't doing anything.”

These kids are incredible. I'd love to find a story with this voice. #MSWL

#mswl - a sweeping middle grade series with heart and humor! Related, but more specifically: a middle grade series with puzzle-y elements. And, always, middle grade with magic, especially cozy magic!

Adding myself to the list! #mswl

It's a bit of a hodgepodge, but I've updated my #MSWL inspiration board on Pinterest. Let me know what you think. 😁 pin.it/ogfe5yvbviuupy

#MSWL genderbent retelling.

I have a #MSWL, one that I've wanted for a long time. I would love, LOVE, to work with a female veteran who is writing the Great American War Novel, where women and their lives are centered instead of on the periphery. Also, if this exists, tell me so I can read it.

UMMMMMM #mswl (gotta be f/f y'all)

Calling all agents: I will buy an investigative narrative book, in the vein of Bad Blood, that details the college admissions scandal. #mswl

This shit is art. #mswl, but make it plot.

While I’m more partial to (keylime and apple) pie than pi, I sure do love a fun math book that might have had me loving math more as a kid. In honor of Pi Day tomorrow, I'd love something like BEDTIME MATH or for MG like MISCALCULATIONS OF LIGHTNING GIRL #WishlistWednesday #MSWL

My #mswl always includes historical fiction, but I want to have *this* reaction to it. I want a voice that's vibrant and ALIVE, that feels immediately like a person I could know, that makes the quiet parts feel intimate and the stakes feel personal.
