A Craigslist Missed Connection rom-com. #MSWL

Yes, it's winter. But I'd still like to acquire some Alaska-set contemporary romance, with heroes hot enough to melt ice. :) #mswl

#MSWL

Contemporary realism is welcome too with those strong hooks. #MSWL

In general, we love MG & YA SFF, mystery & historical fiction that grabs readers & hooks teachers & librarians handing them the books. #MSWL

For illustrators, we'd like to see solid portfolios that show your graphic novel/comic chops in long form. leeandlow.com/writers-illust… #MSWL

For writers, we'd like to see graphic novel scripts. Guidelines here: leeandlow.com/writers-illust… #MSWL

Also, #fuse8 has pointed out the dearth of black boys in MG. Let us see more black boy heroes! #MSWL

My current #MSWL on the @tubooks account.

Agents looking for #shepersisted mss in MG: send those to us if they're diverse fiction! Authors, write it! #MSWL

Specifics of what we're looking for: MORE MG. Particularly complex diverse MG of all genres w/ literary/curricular connections. #MSWL

We look for both #ownvoices & cross-cultural writers. Sensitivity readers help bridge the non-#ownvoices gap. #mswl

Would love this as a book too. #MSWL

#mswl (but like, science fiction/near future--this, meets Maureen McHugh. Or these girls, but cyberpunk Bangalore)

#MSWL #picturebook If you're ever looking for me, I'm probably on 5th & 17th hanging out with Loubie. timeout.com/newyork/blog/t…~

Oh, I loved it. I definitely want something like @audwrites's OF FIRE AND STARS! #MSWL

"Characters that are willing to get their hands dirty to reach their goal, that are sly, cunning, & ruthless." @kurestinarmada #MSWL

Didn't have a chance to post any #MSWL yesterday but maybe later today I will. Meantime, there's some right here: bethphelan.com/wishlist

You know what I would love? A PB that captures the Calvin & Hobbes dynamic, humor, and wit--with a kid of color. AND A SLOTH HOBBES. 😆 #MSWL
