Hopeful contemporary MG that brims with heart. Think SONG FOR A WHALE. #mswl

YES PLEASE (I even wrote a #MSWL tweet about this a while ago!)

Picture books with standout/breakout characters like THE BAD SEED and MOTHER BRUCE. #mswl

Swoon worthy YA rom coms a la THE GRAVITY OF US or WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI #mswl

Voicey MG fantasy with series potential. Think ARU SHAH or THE KIRANMALA AND THE KINGDOM BEYOND series. #mswl

A MG with Sandlot vibes. I’m missing baseball so hardcore right now. ⚾️ #mswl

where is my YA indiana jones re-telling that has our mc taking cultural artifacts back from museums and returning them to their countries of origin? minus nazis, plus more kissing #mswl

As mentioned at the start of this thread, there are so many amazing female figures in mythology (or history) whose stories have been overlooked/untold. I would love to work on a book like CIRCE or THE LOST QUEEN--but maybe moving east for the source of inspiration #MSWL

I'd love a hopeful near future project, an optimistic dystopian tale, something that imagines a world where everything might be broken, but there is a best of humanity that survives (I can't imagine why I want this) #MSWL

I desperately want to go to space right now! I love warm, character-driven adventures a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas. Give me your ragtag crews and seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks (and..ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I am never going to stop loving fairytale-inspired stories like SPINNING SILVER. I want dark woods and woodsy magic, monsters that aren't what they seem, characters who take their destinies into their own hands, romance and danger, and a HEA #MSWL

Ever since I became an editor, I've wanted a GARDEN SPELLS-style project--a story about tangled family ties and old friendships, about how people fracture and mend, steeped in magic and charm and set in a town that could be anywhere, and yet... #MSWL

I'm craving THE CITY OF BRASS-style rich and intricate fantasy, with complicated family dynamics, stark political tension, sweeping romance, and hard loss; stories that (respectfully) wed historical inspiration and folklore with unexpected magic and major stakes #MSWL

@VonBrooklyn forwarded me a very cool email talking about Spring Goddesses Persephone, Flora, and Hara Ke, and honestly, all of them were #MSWL (but we agreed especially Hara Ke and her dragons)! It also made me realize I haven't done a MSWL thread in a long time.

With the world as it is, I'm looking for some fun/funny picturebooks, agent friends! And I love smart wordplay, too. #mswl

#mswl

I'm getting a lot of queries for PBs about COVID-19. These probably aren't going to be the right fit for me. I'd be more interested in a book like THE BREAKING NEWS by @sarahlynnereul, which takes a broader approach to scary world events + will have a long shelf life. #MSWL

Receiving some promising submissions. But still on the hunt for great fiction! #WomensFiction #mystery #amwriting #writers #MSWL #thrillers #romancenovels #BookClub I want it all! Gimme whatcha got! #amreading
