#MSWL I would REALLY love a well-crafted historical/art mystery for MG (something in the vein of Legends of the Hidden Temple/National Treasure) OR adult audiences (think thorough research, clever hooks). I want the audience to solve along.

I'd like to see some villains who may not really be villainous after all. #MSWL

I also like the idea, as with those memoirs, that it's not always a woman grieving the death of a husband. What about a child? a parent? a best friend? a marriage? a lifestyle? There are so many other people and things we grieve #MSWL

I would like stories on grief in fiction #MSWL, but I want them taken to the next level. I want to see someone do something extreme.

for example, I'm always fascinated and interested in books on grief, but I feel that most of what I see are just a rehash of the same thing. It all feels like a standard grief journey #MSWL

The hard thing about a call for a book is that it's not about finding a book with those themes, it's finding a book that does it in a completely different way. #MSWL

That's it! Give me an against-all-odds story. #MSWL

It's one thing to give me a story about a mother, but I want an against-all-odds story, about a mother or otherwise #MSWL

It's crazy how often I've called out for mother stories and yet I don't feel like I get enough, especially with the emotional ooomph I'm looking for #MSWL

In that same vein, I like the idea of a mother fighting through something like that, survival either with children in tow or knowing that she needs to get to her children #MSWL

In fact, I like survival books of all sorts. Someone lost in the wilderness maybe after a plane crash or something similar #MSWL

I love the idea of seeing how people survive in a crisis of epic proportions and potentially of our own making #mswl

Having just finished reading Dry by Neal Shusterman & Jarrod Shusterman I am obsessed with finding something similar with an adult perspective (YA versions should go to @TracyMarchini ) #MSWL

"Coming-of-age anything! i.e. THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY, YONAHLOSSEE RIDING CAMP, AFTER HER, THE SECRETS OF LAKE ROAD, THE GIRLS, HISTORY OF WOLVES, GIRLS ON FIRE, AGE OF MIRACLES, YOU WILL KNOW ME" @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

All the reasons why I'm dying for a book version of The Bold Type. #MSWL 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

It’s a little early...but The Sandlot will be 30 years old in 2023. Putting out a #MSWL for a book about the making and cultural significance of that movie

I'd like a YA/Adult manuscript--any genre!--that features a #FF enemies to lovers arc. #mswl
