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

I'm also looking for the weird, surreal, hilarious literary #YA that blends genres and punches guts. #OwnVoices are 🔑. #MSWL

Please send me #YA & #MG stories about the immigrant experience. Can be set either in this world or another, but make it authetic. #MSWL

AGREE. #mswl

An all-time fave of mine is Hedges' WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE. Would love #YA or #WF with same small-town quirk and heart. #MSWL #PitMad

The Magnificent Seven meets the Gunslinger #MSWL

POC cowboys! Fantasy (epic/dark/historical) or space opera. #MSWL

#mswl #pitmad In case I miss seeing it, I'd love a adult contemp with a beautiful romance, not so beautiful story & ugly crying potential.

Did anyone else read Ann Rinaldi as a kid? Would love to get historical fiction like that. #MSWL

"A well-written narrative nonfiction that teaches me about a fascinating subject." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Seeing these pitches makes me realize that my #MSWL is always looking for books that take place in libraries or bookstores.

Most of my #pitmad likes today will probably be for #A (adult), especially women's fiction, suspense, thriller, mystery... #MSWL

Pretty sure there’s the spark of like 17 different stories in this one article & I hereby #MSWL them all. news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/05/map-sh…

Sounds like a great subplot for a YA novel. #MSWL teenvogue.com/story/how-coll… via @TeenVogue

When will I ever get a ballerina novel? #YA #MSWL
