OMG, yes! Die Hard as a romance novel YES!!! I’d love all of these as LGBTQ+ #OwnVoices #RomanticSuspense #RomCom #ContempRomance #PNR #MSWL

In honor of #rwa18, here are some of the top things on my #MSWL: 1) Die Hard as a romance novel; 2) The Martian as a romance novel; 3) Jurassic Park as a romance novel (non-shifter--gimme scientists in danger!); 4) lumberjacks, and yes I am serious;

WRITERZ, I'm still on the lookout for more literary horror. HELP AN AGENT OUT. #mswl

I'm 27 pages in, & let me tell you: I've only known @laurenspieller as a FANTASTIC agent. Now, I get to know her as a writer, & she's got me hook, line, & sinker. My new #MSWL: Query me the kind of YA novel that Lauren would write. Go buy #YourDestinationIsOnTheLeft & learn how.

Fates and Furies but with a fox-wife or a selkie or something #mswl

Screams from rooftops: I WANT A BODY POSITIVE COMMERCIAL ROM COM. #MSWL

I would ❤️ an MG mystery/ghost story set in Cassadega, FL. #MSWL

Overall, I want gorgeously written, emotional, surprising stories that resonate deeply with the reader. #MSWL

Immersive historical fiction, particularly in non-Western settings; I’m very interested in the post-WW II period. #MSWL

I love YA fantasy, and want to see worlds and characters that are fresh. #MSWL

Books for kids and teens that capture the current spirit of resistance, fiction or non-fiction. #MSWL

I'm actively looking for Author-Illustrators, and love work that's witty and warm-hearted. Some of my fav illustrators are Sophie Blackall, Zachariah O'Hora, Frann Preston-Grann, Emily Hughes and George Marshall. #MSWL

I'm looking for fresh chapter books with a diverse protagonist and possibly some magical realism. #MSWL

If your YA project can be compared to one of these recent movie/tv shows, I want it: Get Out, Broad City, GLOW, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. #MSWL

I love historical mysteries - think The Woman in White or The Alienist – if you’re writing something like that for YA, I want to see it! #MSWL

Here are more #MSWL items! I'd love to see some contemporary, literary YA that’s unabashedly romantic – make me swoon!

Last week I tweeted a couple things I'm looking for. A refresher: a dark, creepy Fantasy for older MG readers – I love Joan Aiken, Franny Billingsley, Holly Black, Francis Hardinge, Laini Taylor. If you’re writing like this, I want to read! #MSWL

"Non-fic that explains big ideas & large concepts in ways that are accessible, fun, and humorous." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

And on that note, I need a rom com to represent. Smart characters, little bit of mayhem, romance that makes me swoon, lady friendships, lady bosses, diversity. All things that make me smile and happy. If you have it, please send it! #MSWL
