As someone who was a spooky sorority girl, I’d love to read more sorority horror. Give me dark sisterhood rituals, socials/formals gone wrong, and sisters teaming up to stop a Ghostface like killer.As someone who attended college without a Greek life, #MSWL

"A realistic Middle Grade with a protagonist who has an immigrant parent (or parents). Growing up, I would have really appreciated reading this element in a book." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I'd love to see a contemporary MG or YA cooking competition like Iron Chef or even something with a little more quirk like Food Wars. #mswl

Our #AskUpstart session is coming 8/7, I've got a few #MSWL notes. Will be tweeting these throughout the week. First up: I love a good, voicey flawed protagonist. Think Cassel in White Cat by Holly Black.Building on the White Cat #MSWL. Not only does the story have a fast pace, but Cassel is also a deeply rooted emotional character. I always fall hard for emotionally layered characters. #askUpstart

My kids are Chinese American. My son, in particular, doesn’t often see himself reflected in the books he reads. I’d love to see more #ownvoices MG books featuring male Asian American characters. #MSWL #askUpstart

More #MSWL notes in advance of #AskUpstart on Tue! Spooky, lyrical YA (think CHIME by Franny Billingsley).

ok this is my new fav letter to the editor pic.twitter.com/KGfX8BgZlHA middle grade novel starring a girl like this would be amazing. Something along the lines of Frankie Landau-Banks for the mg set. #MSWL

Currently reading a submission that made me think of the quote below. Gorgeous. It's got this in spades. Wouldn't mind another perhaps somehow centered in genre fiction. #MSWL #amreading

I'm looking for fiction for kids and teens that relates to issues happening in our world right now: the refugee crisis, the opioid epidemic, the Flint, MI water crisis. #MSWLI love, love, love historical fiction. It has to be gripping and immersive. I'd love something about the post-WII period, esp if set Berlin. #MSWL

It's also time for more #MSWL! Generally, I rep all categories of children's and YA books, both fiction and nonfiction. At the moment I'm most hungry for MG and YA fiction.I'm looking for fiction for kids and teens that relates to issues happening in our world right now: the refugee crisis, the opioid epidemic, the Flint, MI water crisis. #MSWL
