I just... shit’s bleak out here y’all. Kids are struggling. The stress and trauma of the last X yrs has been a bigger proportion of their lives than ours. Let’s create books that give them hope, laughter, and strength, yes? Please? #mswl

I want ensemble casts, and caring parents, and supportive friends in these books. Less Chosen One, more teamwork, community, and we’re all in this together. And I’m getting sappy so it’s bedtime 😅

I love ROMANCE obviously so send me your swoony kissy stories (queer ones too)! But also send me books about best friends, and fiercely loving siblings, and all sorts of relationships.

I know everyone wants high concept books and yes they are easier to sell so keep writing that but if your book is just full of complicated feeeeeeeelings, send it to me 😬 #mswl

I’d love books about sports or other competitive team activities (debate club! Robotics!) as a frame. #mswl

I REALLY want chapter books (for age 6 - 8 ) about funny, clever, creative, mischievous, active kids getting into all manner of high kinks and shenanigans. #mswl

I am fascinated by the ocean and space. If your protagonist also loves ocean/space OR LIVES IN ocean/space sent it to me! #mswl

I’ve wanted “girls road trip in space” for yeaaaaaaaars. Pleaaaaaaaaase! #mswl

On last night’s #RosebudAuthors Zoom chat:
Rosebud: So what you’re saying is that you want all the gay books
Me: YES!!!
#MSWL

“LGBTQIA+ novel in the vein of ONE DAY (high concept, unique structure, deep and sweeping love story).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Mine, too! #MSWL

Looking for contemporary realism #YA that would comp to Promising Young Woman — though a touch of magic wouldn’t hurt. Feminist dark YA comedies, please! #MSWL

Just FYI, I am still looking for this. I’d love a big messy Asian family drama, in particular. #mswl

Oh. Oh my.

One of my authors sent me an adult rom-com with splashes of ✨FANTASY and MAGIC✨.

Querying writers, please send me stuff like this. I want these surprising genre-blends so bad. #MSWL.

I'm going to be reviewing #PBPitch today for @BeamingBooksMN. If I like your tweet, please submit to this Submittable account. bit.ly/2lYKfxX

“With memoir, I love a story that feels like I’m reading a collection of essays. @JamesTateHill's BLIND MAN'S BLUFF and @m_scribe's WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, an anthology of essays are two books I worked on that fit in that space.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I’m hosting an #askagent about #kidlit #amquerying, bookpublishing and my #mswl over in my IG stories. Follow and ask away at Instagram.com/leonicka_

Another night wistfully thinking about how much I want more diary-format graphic novels! This is my favorite way to read middle grade stories! #MSWL

I am hungry for more food-themed picture books! If you have one, I'd love to take a look. #MSWL

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
