I wanna bring back all knowing narrative voices bc I love how extra it is. It's like the book was specifically being written for you and the person telling the story feels like a character too. When the reader is addressed I just love that shitI LOVE implicating the reader in the story. Fuck ‘em up, writers, give readers no choice but to FEEL THINGS. #MSWL

Listen guys. I don’t know much about graphic novels (yet) but I DO know a graphic novel set in Cuba would be 💯 #MSWL

Little know fact about me: I bake! I’d love a project that has a baking element to it. #MSWL

As someone with a sister with Down Syndrome, I'd LOVE a picture book about relationships between typical siblings and siblings with disabilities. #MSWL
Editor
Reminder that I’d love a YA about a white-passing character and the social/political/personal issues or benefits that come about because of their looks #mswl

Hey agents, anyone got a quirky MG mystery? Bonus points if it includes a Scooby Gang. #MSWL
Editor
I’ve been getting a lot of dark YA lately—which I love!—but I’m also interested in sweet, funny MG that may or may not make me cry #MSWL

Guys, idk if this exists outside my brain, but I would really REALLY love a ensemble novel (or narr NF) about a group of true crime enthusiasts on Reddit hunting a killer. Bonus points for intersectional feminism or YA#MSWL

Family drama is the weirdest drama. Give me a middle grade with a family like the Belchers on Bob's Burgers and/or a YA with one like the Bluths on Arrested Development. #MSWL

im interested in the cultural narrative that makes women the primary, most virulent enforcers of patriarchyyou see this often in novels w/girl protagonists who are somehow rebellious or who doesn’t fit into the gendered expectations placed on her

Question for the room: Why aren't there more picture books starring highland cows, AKA hairy coos? #MSWL

One my favorite books in high school was Catch-22, so you can pretty much throw any and all multiple perspectives and/or nonlinear timelines my way. #MSWL
Editor
Sometimes I forget not everyone grew up with a mother obsessed with true crime and serial killers. A novel along the lines of Netflix's MINDHUNTER meets THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES would be 👌🙌 #MSWL
Editor
I just want a manuscript that makes me as happy as free food does. #MSWL
Editor
I know it was originally a graphic novel, but still: Give me Netflix's "The End of the F***ing World" as a YA and I will love you forever #MSWL

#mswl Buzzfeed Unsolved as a middle grade series #heydemonsitsyaboy
Editor
I was psych minor before I learned I had to take stats. Give me a psychological YA that I can analyze for days #MSWL

Bringing this back to elaborate: I like weird, tongue-in-cheek. Think @BruceEricKaplan's forthcoming SOMEONE FARTED & @burstofbeaden #MSWL twitter.com/AmandaIsA_Ram/…Bring on your weird, irreverent, humorous picture books! #MSWL
