Magic realism a la Hundred Years of Solitude by #ownvoices Native author. #MSWL

Hawaiian fantasy from #ownvoices author. YA or adult. #MSWL

Wine country family saga women's fiction from an author with wine cultivation expertise. #MSWL

Diverse, underrepresented stories and perspectives from #OwnVoices #MSWL

Epic fantasy full of strange animals, wild magic, and female protagonists. #MSWL

Oh I really like ensemble comedies. Behind the scenes in a restaurant or theatre or on a team or or or? AND FUNNY? YES PLEASE. #mswl

If you have something on my #MSWL send it my way querymanager.com/query/1005! If you don't…still query! I never know what I want until I get it!

Historical romance with diverse heroes/heroines. I want to know about the Regency peeps of African/Indian/Jewish (&more!) descent. #MSWL

Surprising MG and YA that breaks new ground, POVs that are under-represented, particularly from #OwnVoices creators. #MSWL

YA, WF, GF: A novel that plays w memories. Living the same experience as someone else & recalling the events differently. #MSWL

A kid-and-her-dog MG novel with depth and complexity, a la BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE. It's a high bar because I am in love with that book. #MSWL

WOULD READ #mswl

I should just Princess Bride my #MSWL list: "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, True Love, miracles..."

Odd things I like: yarn, metal detectors, caves & crypts, strange animals, chemistry, HS marching bands, detailed lists, and cheese. #MSWL

A deeply romantic magical realism YA. #MSWL

And definitely graphic novel illustrator-writers (esp if diverse!!), like my client @katfcomix #MSWL

Stories that make me cry, like BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY or OKAY FOR NOW); Witches! Goblins! Magical realism...and the kitchen sink #MSWL

Unconventional love stories! Kidnapping! Adventure! Marginalized protags in non-issue stories (like my fave ATTACK THE BLOCK!) #MSWL

And I think the best MG fiction makes me look at "basic" human emotions (love, grief, loneliness) anew, through the eyes of a kid. #MSWL

Last one: I love the American west. That's my home. Lit fic set in CO, NM, etc. People get Up To Stuff out west and I am HERE FOR IT #MSWL
