My last request: anything that’s great!!! 😉 I’m hungry for excellent manuscripts right now, agents, so send them my way! #MSWL

(#Ownvoices takes, to be clear, but hopefully you knew that!!) #MSWL

Anything with a dog as a beloved sidekick. I have a dog who is my beloved sidekick, sorry not sorry. #MSWL

Immigration stories in MG and YA #MSWL

Would especially love a MG graphic novel that could be described in the above way! #MSWL

Middle grade that addresses tough issues (mental illness, grief, family dynamics, etc) with a light touch and a strong dash of hope #MSWL

Funny contemporary middle grade with a high concept twist #MSWL

YA historical fiction set in the 1950s-70s, where the story offers insight/parallels to contemporary culture #MSWL

New takes on myths and fairy tales from non-western cultures #MSWL

Magical realism in MG and YA, especially where the magic is tied to the setting or the season. Place as character is a fav story element for me #MSWL

PS, I have a special soft spot for fake dating turned romance (yes, just like anyone else who watched and loved #ToAllTheBoys 1-6 times recently! But also, remember the Debra Messing classic The Wedding Date? 😍) #MSWL

A smarty, juicy rom com; would especially like to read a queer rom com #MSWL

YA of all genres that feature friendships as found families #MSWL

"An edge-of-your-seat noir about an agoraphobic coven's adventure to transcend their mother's death" #MSWL, please

#MSWL forever. This is what I always want in YA!

My #1 #MSWL item right now: #ownvoices chapter book/young MG series featuring POC protagonist, illustrated or with room for illustrations.

Anyway, if you've got anything that seems like a fit, I'd love to read! My #MSWL is here if you want to see more: alexarnoldeditor.tumblr.com/wishlist

A reminder that my #MSWL is right here: alexarnoldeditor.tumblr.com/wishlist. tldr; #ownvoices, books that can be used as tools to smash the patriarchy.

I know high school girls can be mean, but I want a contemp YA that shows how important & life-affirming female friendship can be, too #MSWL

This! Because I also want to see teen characters who are not, by default, upper or upper-middle class. #MSWL
