"Historical middle grade that re-rewrites history to add an element of magic." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

#MSWL I'm looking for something I've never seen before primarily adult or YA in fantasy, romance, historical, suspense, mystery #ownvoices

This too, please! #MSWL

And you can just send such a book on through me, if you like. Wow! 😍#MSWL

Lyrical or literary stories that don't lose focus on character like THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON. #MSWL (3/3)

Middle grade stories that dig into the deeper questions like A WRINKLE IN TIME and THE GIVER. #MSWL (2/3)

And since I am particularly craving MG, I'll include some of my most desired elements today. If you have these, do send them!

Creepy or spooky stories that are still age-appropriate like CORALINE. #MSWL (1/3)

I'd also love to see anti-heroes or morally grey characters as the main protagonist across age groups. #MSWL

Anything mg or YA that can be comped to AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, especially if it heals my poor Zutara-shipping heart. Most of all, I love the character interactions in ATLB, the fully-realized sweetness and depth. Plus the unique world! #MSWL

I'd love to see YA rom-com featuring underrepresented voices. #MSWL TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE has left a void in my heart.

Would love to find a compelling YA space opera! The setting, as well as everything that comes with it, has to be well researched. #MSWL

I’d love to see someone take a modern/contemporary well-loved/well-known story and flip it on its head to a historical. A flipped retelling if you will. Bonus points for some magical realism. #MSWL

Coming late to #MSWL Day: Educational PBs that read like trade ones; character-driven MG; truth-telling YA; all of it diverse; #ownvoices preferred.

#MSWL - I definitely want more mothers in adult SFF. Also plz show me a pregnant heroine getting stuff IN ORDER (in an explosive fantasy landscape).

#MSWL

Yesssss SO MUCH this! #MSWL

#MSWL YA futuristic Sci-Fi, much like Westworld, or maybe something like Pacific Rim! :)

FYI I'm NOT looking for kid lit at this time #mswl

Dipping out of sabbatical for #mswl!

First, I’d love to see more nonfiction. Especially interested in ecology/conservation & American history through the lens of marginalized people.

I’m also on the lookout for big-hearted, voice-driven middle grade—with plenty of humor, obv.

Most importantly, whatever ya or mg story it may be, a unique voice and complex characters will instantly draw me in. Ultimate #MSWL
