Also on my #MSWL--everyone and their mother is producing/staging/writing adaptations of Twelfth Night

That's great! I love Twelfth Night, you love Twelfth Night, we all love Twelfth Night.

But please, for the love of Jacques, will somebody send me an "As You Like It" adaptation

Stories that are piercingly true to their characters, revealing their layers and deepest feelings -- this goes for every category of children's and YA books. #MSWL

In advance of our #AskUpstart session 8/7, I promised a few new #MSWL notes. I’m looking for “Activist Non-Fiction” (shout-out to @_GinaGagliano!), NF that explores a current issue, engages readers deeply, and calls them to action. YA, MG & Graphic Novels like this – all welcome!

#mswl !

A world where something we take for granted is flipped upside down. Think SMOKE! #mswl

A fantastical world with creatures inspired by Ellen Jewett’s sculptures #mswl

Unique magical realism with a tint of mystery a la BONE GAP #mswl

Literary horror involving a flower shop or greenhouse #mswl

Looking for lesser-known fairy tales reimagined and mythology, folklore, or fables from different parts of the world! #mswl

Young female protagonists that will always put their own needs before a boy (think FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS) #mswl

Give me a novel as grim as Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" #mswl

Non-European fantasy is on my forever #MSWL.

Please send it to me so I can submit it to the host of editors who tell me regularly how hungry they are for different stories, fresh settings, and fresh points of view.

LOVE the French cover of THE HAZEL WOOD, by Melissa Albert, one of my favorite 2018 #YA reads!

P.S. I would love to find a fantasy grounded in our reality like THE HAZEL WOOD. it is so much fun to think magic might exist, if only we look in the right place.

I’m acquiring upbeat, popular romance in the 60k and 80k ranges, 80k-ish women’s fiction, and psychological thrillers anywhere from 80k-100k. All contemporary. Hook me with your high concept, fun-to-read characters, and fresh, relevant worldview. entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ #MSWL

As someone with a sister with Down Syndrome, I'd LOVE a picture book about relationships between typical siblings and siblings with disabilities. #MSWL
