Diverse, underrepresented stories and perspectives from #OwnVoices #MSWL

A kid-and-her-dog MG novel with depth and complexity, a la BECAUSE OF WINN DIXIE. It's a high bar because I am in love with that book. #MSWL

A deeply romantic magical realism YA. #MSWL

And I think the best MG fiction makes me look at "basic" human emotions (love, grief, loneliness) anew, through the eyes of a kid. #MSWL

Looking for a MG that gives me a crazy amount of feelings. I love MG because as a 12 yr old, you're feeling A LOT for the first time...#MSWL

LGBTQ historical romance. I want to see a historical period/event from this underrepresented perspective. (Must be well researched!) #MSWL

Especially love when the setting deeply impacts the plot, mood, themes. I want to imagine the book couldn't be set anywhere else! #MSWL

In life, I have major wanderlust. So in books too, I want to be transported to evocative, authentic settings. #MSWL

I would love a feminist-as-hell YA about a coven of witches. I can imagine a bunch of awesome interpretations of this setup. #MSWL

My #MSWL is always right here on the ol' tumblr but I'll join in the fun later today! alexarnoldeditor.tumblr.com/wishlist

Um, in YA. Don't send me a sexy middle grade retelling. #MSWL

Always very down for unique fairytale/fable retellings that feel lush and sweeping and maybe a little (a lot) sexy. #MSWL

I was a middle grade girl who loved baseball, so I'd love a middle grade abt a girl who loves baseball. & dogs.& NSYNC. (Too specific?)#MSWL

Everything abt THE SMELL OF OTHER PEOPLE'S HOUSES gets me excited, incl. diverse multiple POVs &unique setting. So..that but different #MSWL

Always looking for a YA with a smart, unique structure, a la 500 Days of Summer, The Last Five Years, or The Lover’s Dictionary #MSWL

#MSWL a YA--historical or contemp--with a setting that's a character in its own right & a twist of something darkly magical/darkly strange

#MSWL A YA like Jane the Virgin in that it follows a tight-knit multi generational family, diverse cast of characters, warm & full of heart
