#MSWL YA or MG fantasy, sci-fi or realistic that deals with climate change.

In all ages and genres I am seriously hoping to see more books starring mc's with disabilities. #ownvoices especially encouraged. I want to see stories that show the full range of life and experiences--joy, accomplishments, ambition, sadness, friendship, love. #MSWL

I would love to see a YA (or upper MG) that focuses on the teen activist movement. Whether contemporary or historical, I want to see honest portrayals of how teens organize and mobilize. #MSWL

I’d love more stories about badass women in history - show me women who helped change their world. Who stood up for their convictions with their brains or their brawn #MSWL

In kidlit more broadly (PB-YA) I am on the hunt for more NF that teaches and inspires in a fun accessible way. I lean towards non-fiction that focuses on a specific event or person, that really digs in to give us a clear picture as opposed to broad themes #MSWL

Horror & horror. All types & ages (mg, ya, adult). Could be super scary. Psychological. Thriller. Mystery. Warm Bodies-esque. Odd Thomas-esque. Any way you slice it. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I just watched ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE on Netflix and would love to see a fun foodie #YA #ms like that which delivers big on ethnic flavors amidst a fun #RomCom setting. I’d also love to see more #NF or graphic NF aimed at middle graders!

MG that thrills me. Bring me action, friendship, magic, fast-pace and fierce characters #mswl

And, by extension, the death-centric rituals we perform throughout time and culture in order to hold onto a person's memory/essence. #MSWL

As always, I'm looking for stories by marginalized voices. I'd really want to see more body diversity in #MG and #YA. #MSWL

#MSWL You know how ghosts are often described in Victorian-era clothes? I'd love a creepy book that links all the Victorian ghosts back to death-centric rituals/obsessions of that era--the hair rings, eating ashes, etc.

An upmarket novel featuring a black girl band (or other poc band) or singer, rapper, etc. think ON THE COME UP, but for adults. #MSWL

Would also love an ownvoices sweeping literary family saga that focuses on generational inheritance in any sense (trauma, land, etc.) #MSWL

More #MG about family businesses, a la FRONT DESK. #MSWL

I'm also looking for contemporary romance Amish stories 55k words. If you've got a complete manuscript lying around that fits this, send it my way. I'd give it priority in my reading pile.

#MSWL What I'll call "Shiny Sci-Fi," a la The Thousandth Floor or Minority Report, with world-building that shows both the polished surface and the grimy world underneath. #YA #MG

#MSWL time! I'd love an #MG like The Hazel Wood: a fantasy grounded in a specific American city, where magic mixes with the every day.

My #MSWL

Inspirational romantic suspense 55k words. Stories that feature evocative outdoor imagery (national parks, mountains, caves), witness protection, forensics, hero dogs, holidays, juicy secrets.

H/h of faith but not preachy. Equal focus given to suspense & romance.

I’m still searching for my YA version of CLUE #MSWL

That said more #LGBTQIA books all around #MSWL - (it can but it doesn’t have to have a romance)
