Hate when I fall in love with the man of my dreams only for him to insist upon asking about the green ribbon around my neckCan someone please write a YA gothic horror novel with a simmering f/f romance about the green ribbon girl? I want it soooooo bad #MSWL
Editor
I would LOVE to edit a satirical MG or YA novel about student government. Think Mean Girls meets Wag the Dog. Or, like, Election without the gross teacher. #MSWL
Editor
Hiya, #MSWL
I'm on the lookout for middle grade nonfiction that specifically explores:
1. Climate change and ecology.
2. American History through the lens of marginalized people.
Bonus points for graphic novels!
Editor
In the future, celebrity picture books will all be written by attractive robots #Mswl...?

Dipping out of sabbatical for #mswl!
First, I’d love to see more nonfiction. Especially interested in ecology/conservation & American history through the lens of marginalized people.
I’m also on the lookout for big-hearted, voice-driven middle grade—with plenty of humor, obv.

I'm not really a horror person, but I would totally dig a MG or YA graphic novel about an escape room that turns deadly... #mswl

Cold weather and cozy, tea-clutching nights are making me crave classic-feeling middle grade fiction ala GREENGLASS HOUSE #MSWL

A stray #MSWL thought... As I kid, I loooved THE ELEVENTH HOUR. I'd be thrilled to edit a picture book that contains a puzzle to be solved.
Editor
I'm only considering agented submissions at the moment, but if your novel coincides w my #MSWL tell your future or present agent to send!

Seeking strong-girl YA & MG that would suit the tagline:
"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted." #MSWL
Editor
Eyes glued to #writeyourresistance, pining for YA that delivers the perspective of teens living through these nightmarish times #MSWL

Was clearing out what used to be my "idea jar" and found this. Can someone please write? #MSWL

After reading @kierstenwhite's AND I DARKEN and NOW I RISE, I'm craving more heroines who take power instead of asking politely #mswl
