Middle grade book inspo. #MSWL

Would love a detective series set in Northern California, quirky hippie-farmer small towns, marijuana fields, fire season, Pomo country, wineries, coastal redwoods. #MSWL

Die Hard on The Polar Express. #MSWL

A horror novel called This Is Less of a Question & More of a Statement, and the entire book takes place during a Q&A panel at a conference. #MSWL

I want a rom com where the meet cute is because of this birding app. #mswl

"Commercial/upmarket fiction that handles family secrets/reconciliation w/tenderness like THE MEMORY GARDEN" @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I've often heard discussion about where story beats in kids' fiction are "supposed" to be (for commercial effect/familiarity), and it bugs me. I really appreciate this thread that reminds us that a standard is a common point of reference, not a rubric for success. #writetip #mswl

"Thrillers like What Have You Done by Matthew Farrell." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I would LOVE a YA novel about dance that shows just how much dedication and discipline it takes, the mindset that is necessary, while also discussing the privilege needed to participate at an elite level. I’ll be super picky about this as a former dancer. #MSWL

#MSWL, for real. I love this sort of relationship dynamic.

This is a picture book. #mswl

An #MSWL I'd love: voicy YA contemporary about a girl discovering she's bisexual while in a happy relationship with a boy

Domestic suspense & psych thrillers. Very competitive out there so I’m not looking for something that is overcomplicated & trying to out-do what’s on the market. I’m looking for excellent, simple (which is so much harder!), haunting/spooky/creepy writing. @carlywatters #MSWL

Psst... enemies to lovers is my FAVORITE romantic trope #MSWL

Ok this ones courtesy of my best friend, Hanna & an ancestry DNA talk on Thanksgiving. #MSWL a contemporary YA that explores the ramifications of a teen finding out through a genealogy DNA test (think school project) that her dad isn’t her real dad & the dad doesn’t know either.
