This all began because @VonBrooklyn forwarded me a very cool email talking about the Spring Goddesses Persephone, Flora, and Hara Ke, and honestly, all of them were #MSWL (but we agreed especially Hara Ke and her dragons)... 6/

I'd love a hopeful near future project, an optimistic dystopian tale, something that imagines a world where everything might be broken, but there is a best of humanity that survives (I can't imagine why I want this) #MSWL 5/

I desperately want to go to space right now! I'm not much of a hard #SF person; I love character-driven adventures with heart a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas (ragtag crews, seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks, and...ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I am never going to stop loving fairytale-inspired stories like SPINNING SILVER. I want dark woods and woodsy magic, monsters that aren't what they seem, characters who take their destinies into their own hands, romance and danger, and a HEA #MSWL 3/

Ever since I became an editor, I've wanted a GARDEN SPELLS-style project--a story about tangled family ties and old friendships, about how people fracture and mend, steeped in magic and warmth and charm and set in a town that could be anywhere, and yet... #MSWL 2/

I'm craving THE CITY OF BRASS-style rich and intricate #fantasy, with complicated family dynamics, stark political tension, sweeping romance, and hard loss; stories that (respectfully) wed historical inspiration and folklore with unexpected magic and major stakes #MSWL 1/

I want to expand my nonfiction #MSWL!
- Cookbooks: I'm an adventurous cook. My passion lies in the intersection of cooking&history. I've been cooking w/ Little Teochew Cookbook by Eric Low, & in it I find terms and moments of culture to research while the oven is preheating.

I'd love to see more middle grade fantasy in my inbox! I get a lot of contemporary realistic and sci-fi, but not as much by the way of fantasy. #MSWL

Reminder that Tachyon does not publish book series, only standalone books, and also we like novellas very much. #MSWL

poetry is getting me through rn. agents -- I'd really love to read more poetry collections! black and brown and queer especially #mswl

#mswl for SURE metro.co.uk/2020/04/06/man…

Agent friends, For what it's worth, I'm still reviewing submissions from my couch if you're still submitting! On the lookout esp for heartwarming, literary MG novels, particularly contemporary realistic, fantasy, and magical realism. Stay safe and healthy! #mswl

So to remind you all, a #MSWL for me, maybe in #MG with a balance to it, I would love a book that tackles poverty or homelessness.

#MSWL:
I’m craving speculative stories about immigration & community that cast a wide net. Give me the Ellis Island “empty pockets/big dreams” classic. Give me knowledge workers, refugees, sprawling mixed-status families. Give these characters magic, spaceships, eldritch secrets.

Listening to @yourewrongabout and my new #MSWL is a 1960s YA about teen girls forming a babysitters' union

A few misc #MSWL items

-MG that's spooky and lovely
-YA LatinX RomCom
-Adult thriller with a BIG hook
-Adult space horror
