Yes it’s after 5 on a Friday but I finally read this article I’ve had a tab open for all week and would like to say I’d love to see middle grade or YA submissions that fit into the brilliant & brilliantly structured comedy category. #MSWL theguardian.com/culture/2020/o…

I would very much love to see a non-white author reimagine The Secret Garden for today’s middle grade readers. #mswl

A few other things I'd love to see in my inbox...
*MG novel that revolves around a big family (traditional or untrad) and plays with form the way Jane the Virgin did
*YA novel about a young tennis phenom (like Coco Gauff!)
*Interesting structures
*Subversive takes on tropes
#MSWL

Reupping this for today! #MSWL

You know who I would like to meet in my inbox? The modern-day equivalent of the Quimby family. Where do they live? What do they look like? What conflicts are they facing? That's for you mg writers out there to imagine! #MSWL

Two #MSWL thoughts from over the weekend: I'd love to see the joy & playfulness & heart & smarts of shows like Jane the Virgin and The Good Place captured in book form for MG and/or YA.

Someone turn this into a middle grade novel for me immediately, please. #MSWL 6sqft.com/life-behind-th…
