Fell down the Parts Unknown rabbit hole, and now I want a YA with a teen travel show host. #MSWL

If Band of Brothers were a YA novel...not sure what that would look like but let's make it happen people! #MSWL

"YA version of the young members of the Leverage team (Hardison, Eliot, and Parker)!" @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Seriously, somebody write me a near-future strike-in-space book. Like The Martian, but with collective nonviolent resistance. #MSWL

"Crime fiction like Dennis Lehane." @curtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Can they find the dermatology holy grail to regrow hair? Add a balding, female MC and I'm hooked! #SciFi #MSWL ucsf.edu/news/2017/05/4…

#MSWL any novel that makes me feel the way I do when I hear a tinkering, creepy rendition of "somewhere beyond the sea" see: X-files.

Here the climactic scene of my favorite, unwritten middle grade novel. #MSWL

"Diverse, geeky #YA love stories. In love with a rival at a video game tournament?" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

#MSWL Periodic reminder that I would really love a YA novel with an aro/ace protagonist, especially an #ownvoices one.

And what that complexity looks like is broad and deep. #MSWL

So when I say I want institutional appeal in my #MSWL, you can write an epic fantasy with institutional appeal. It just needs to be complex.

Teachers can directly pair SUMMER OF THE MARIPOSAS with THE ODYSSEY in a classroom setting. #MSWL

When looking at MG/YA fiction, that means what about the story sparks discussion? #MSWL

Obviously the point is to tell a STORY first. But when we sell into schools they also wonder how books support learning. #MSWL

Our literacy team is often looking for how our books meet certain educational themes. Examples in next tweets: #MSWL

Now, specifically what that looks like as far as stories go, institutional appeal is a broad brush. That might mean many things. #MSWL

Particularly looking for #ownvoices Pacific Islander/Pasifika stories for #NewVisionsAward & beyond in MG/YA both novel/graphic novel #MSWL

Particularly Native American, Muslim, Latinx w/ heritage from South America/Central America (set there or in US) #MSWL

Do you read a lot of Junot Díaz? Jesmyn Ward? If writers like them are your heroes, we will get along. Send me their progeny. #MSWL #YA #MG
