I'm obsessed with Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur on Disney and would love a middle-grade or younger graphic novel in the vein of this! #MSWL

Despite making up 25% of the global population, Muslims only account for 1% of characters on popular tv shows. In most of the 200 shows that researchers analyzed, Muslim characters were typically violent, dehumanized or disparaged — if they existed at all huffpost.com/entry/muslims-…I would also love to see more positive Muslim representation in submissions! #mswl

Contrary to my MSWL, someone please send me an over the top romance. A romance that will take my breath away and fill me with all the emotions. Something layered, complex, and beautiful. A romance that reeks of teen spirit (pun intended)!A romance that straddles that in between space of not quite a kid, not yet an adult. Of figuring out who you are & how you fit in the world, both alone & together. A romance that fills you with that feeling of infinite possibilities, even if the horizon is uncertain. #mswl
