Deliver me LGBT+ YA stories that leave the reader joyful. Plots that are fun, invigorating, and clever. I'd love to read an LGBT love or friendship story that's incredibly well written and makes me feel HAPPY afterward. #MSWLHappy stories, yes please! Send me your answer to Steve Kluger. (or @stevekluger please write more books) #mswl twitter.com/UweStenderPhD/…

I LIVE FOR ALL OF THIS 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #MSWL pic.twitter.com/4zBVJxMJgaThis, in realistic (or realistic with a twist) YA/MG! Also, repeating #mswl for murky "would you really make the right choice?" stories a la Passengers

I'd also love to see a MG or YA that makes science and math feel as super cool as it does in The Martian and Lab Girl #MSWL
Editor
And please someone write a YA about characters who grapple with an impossible and murky moral decision like the movie "Passengers" #MSWL
