*forever on my #MSWL * a dual POV rom-com where a divorced mother and her mid twenties daughter are dating at the same time.

MG and YA with Jewish characters (from any subset of Judaism), in any genre! I feel like there are nowhere near enough of these. I'd especially love to see stories with modern Jewish kids/teens. #MSWL

A solid #YA or #MG mystery is everything. I really don't want to see the ending coming! But even with a good twist, it HAS to be believable. #MSWL

MG fantasy that echoes the enchantment and wonder of a good animated film, like Coco or anything by Miyazaki. #MSWL

Author/illustrator graphic novels for YA and MG. Something fluffy and with a good romance. I love found family stories and kids finding ways to resist corrupt power structures. A unique visual style and a distinct perspective is essential. #MSWL

Smart, savvy, adult thrillers with a literary voice and crossover appeal. Some speculative aspect is fine. Think Tana French or Lauren Beukes. No cops. No sexual violence. Women, PoC, other marginalized folk would be ideal. #MSWL

YA fantasy that feels grounded in a contemporary setting and focuses on the lives of teens in highly relatable ways but with magical or speculative components. But not ones that feel urban fantasy. It's a narrow window, I know. #MSWL

Contemporary horror/thriller focused on the experiences of POCs. We live harrowing lives and ones that see the world from a different angle. Film/tv has done a great job of catching up to representing those experiences. I want more of it in books. #MSWL

I love a good psychological thriller (Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware, etc.)--would love to find a teen one that plays with unreliable narrators, unexpected plot twists, etc. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day! Any authors curious what Liza's wishing for? Here it is!

Zesty historical adventure/thriller
Literary women’s fiction about motherhood
Elegant, smart spy novel by someone in the intelligence community
Narrative nonfiction about a turning point in history

In YA, I would love to find a near-future sci-fi in the vein of Black Mirror or Orphan Black. I also just saw the film Ex Machina, which asks incredibly fascinating questions about AI. #MSWL

I love domestic and law enforcement thrillers but do not want espionage. #mswl

Unusual fantasy creatures (trolls, orcs, goblins, etc.) as the MC in an adventure fantasy. Let humans sit on the sidelines for a bit. #mswl.

A little creepiness/paranormal in suspense may be OK, just so the reader can decide what's what. Like Carol Goodman, Sarah Pinborough, S.K. Tremayne. #MSWL

I'd love to see some suspense in my inbox. Domestic especially. Psychological. Maybe romantic, if it tilts more toward crime fic than romance. #MSWL

I will join the chorus of wanting a YA Westworld. Needs to have super amazing world building and a plot not too identical to the show. #MSWL I still love the whole "human not knowing they're a robot" angle (this show and sort of Battlestar Galactica!)

In adult nonfiction, I’m always looking for self-help, pop science, psychology titles. #MSWL

Still haven’t seen this in my inbox and am dying for male/male married hunters chasing Latin Urban Legends. #MSWL

And my usual SF/fantasy for any age, diverse voices, YA & MG. Contemp graphic novel/memoir. #MSWL

Would love a male/male contemporary romance set in Havana or San Juan featuring male dancers. #MSWL
