Of course, the best books are sometimes the one you didn't know you needed! If your book is in my categories but doesn't match this #MSWL, query anyway!

Also, i *might* bond like a duckling if your MC is plus size (but is just living their best life) and into vintage. #mswl

Other random things I love in real life that I would like to see in a book:
-fancy dress parties
-baking
-fencing/boxing
-board games/tabletop games
-tattoos
-beer
-cheese
-tea
#MSWL

I love lyrical, literary writing in all of my represented genres. I also love having the pants scared off me. #mswl

If you're going to base your world in mythology/historical time periods, please give me non-Western settings. #MSWL

In terms of narratives, I'm very interested in postcolonialism (not from the POV of the colonizer) and would love to see more de-colonized narratives #MSWL

In adult SF/F, i am very interested in emic worldbuilding. Make me believe the universe in terms of the people in it. Not from me, live reader in 2018 #MSWL

For adult romance, I am a sucker for:
-enemies-to-lovers
-forced proximity tropes
-banter
-MCs with cool, specific, and unexpected jobs, particularly in fields that are typically gendered
-verbal consent
#MSWL

Please, hearty northern writer, write me a curling book #MSWL

I would also DIE if someone sent me a mystery and the protagonist had to use their tabletop RPG skills to solve it #MSWL

I want protagonists with specific enthusiasms. Coding, beekeeping, skiing--doesn't matter what it is, but I want to see passion! #MSWL

I want YA with NB protagonists. I want to see the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum normalized and represented. #MSWL

I want YA that gives equal weight to "small" things (friends, grades, etc) and "big" things (bringing justice to the world). It's all connected! #MSWL

The Chocolate War posed the question "Do I dare disturb the universe?" I want a book that barrels right past that question and into HOW. Give me YA where teens are changing the world #MSWL

"Show me why friendship break-ups are so much worse than relationship break-ups." #YA @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I read an ARC of Baby Teeth last week and this is, hands down, #1 on my #MSWL. The inner workings of a psychopath child. Everyone should read this come July. And if you have something similar, you know where to send it!

#MSWL Oh my goodness! Please give me space aliens that hack our planet and...then more!!! Are they nice, sending messages of first contact? Are they mean? Idk! Could space aliens hack our planet? nbcnews.com/mach/science/s… via @NBCNewsMACH

Really in the mood for something similar to Blood Red Road by Moira Young. #MSWL

There are so many things about Black Panther that I loved, but one of my favorites was the depth of the worldbuilding, and how we saw what life was like without the influence of colonization. I would love to see a SFF project that grapples with similar questions. #MSWL

#mswl: people making decisions that seem entirely reasonable to them but are actually incredibly poor and oh look character growth!
