#A6 PB: texts with a strong narrative arc, whether funny or lyrical, and a clear theme that young children can relate to. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Illustrators: so hard to define what you’re looking for here! But a portfolio full of animal and child characters in a distinctive, consistent style is always exciting to see. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Non-fiction: I’d love to find an expert in a fascinating field, who can write with passion and real (age appropriate) depth of knowledge to bring their subject to life for young readers. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 YA: Send me your funny YA, rom coms, thrillers and big fantasies. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 I love a strong voice, so if you can write a protagonist with a really intriguing, fun and distinctive voice, please, please send your ms my way! #SCBWIchat #mswl

#A6 I’d love to find an exciting MG mystery/detective story, especially if it’s funny too! I’m also always on the lookout for great YA with an unreliable narrator or an intense and overwhelming love story. #SCBWIchat #mswl

#A6 MG: I’m on the lookout for big characters, funny voices and magical worlds. Possibly eco themes. Definitely animals. Always surprises along the way! Stories with universal appeal. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

#A6 Young fiction: funny character-driven series ideas that tap into children’s real life hopes, fears and obsessions. #mswl #scbwichat #scbwicon19

I'd love to see more mixed media novels like Illuminae, Sadie, and Rules for Vanishing. #mswl

Really hoping for some SF that goes beyond, "Oh look, bad aliens. Let's shoot them!" #MSWL

Feeling those early Halloween vibes and realizing how much I would LOVE to see something reminiscent of WIDE SARGASSO SEA but from Tituba's POV during the Salem witch trials #mswl

Hi this is a dream project. #mswl for YA with this mood

I love novels that feature: therapy, cooking, stage magic, queer women, horoscopes and tarot, good dogs that don't die, holidays that go wrong. #mswl

I'm looking for regional crime, particularly set in Yorkshire, Scotland or Ireland, particularly with a female slant #mswl

Historical fiction that showcases diversity and tells the kind of historical stories we're not used to hearing, and the kind of historical figures we're not used to seeing #mswl

Darker, issue-led women's fiction, and books about difficult or challenging family dynamics that we might not have seen before #mswl

My #MSWL: love stories - high-concept love stories (maybe with a speculative twist?), fresh takes on millennial dating, big historical epic romances, romances in beautiful dream destinations...
