finding 'ohana is sO delightful, and if anyone has a middle grade exactly like it (fish out of water! treasure hunt! reconnecting to your heritage! making friends! grandparent relationships! annoying siblings stuck on an adventure!) i would love love love to see it #mswl

i was just thinking about it this morning and i would love
love love love to acquire a picture book that celebrates chinatowns #mswl

still kinda bummed about the way promising young woman turned out

if anyone has a female revenge/power fantasy that doesn't end with her being punished for it i'd love to see it! #mswl

YES! yes yes yes add this to my #mswl too ✨

this show is literally the only thing that brightens my day and it is so funny and smart and swoony 🥰

i wrote this in an introduction to my ~taste~ that i put together for our ed director & realised i never said it in public so:

i would really really really really love to work on a picture book biography or MG NF graphic novel about grace lee boggs #mswl

can't believe i forgot to say #mswl!!!

oh god no
not model un

if there's one #mswl i have it's a ya mun or debate book and it's 100% because mun was the source of like 60% of my high school's drama

birds of prey was so fucking fun & all i want now is a murder lady squad manuscript #mswl

🙏🙏🙏🙏 please please please please please!!! #mswl

my eyes? heart-shaped
my heart? a pile of goo✨
#mswl pls!!!

seconding this! #mswl

still craving historical mysteries & historical romances with protagonists of colour! #mswl

if you gave me a Dark and Edgy YA contemporary about a group of friends solving mysteries with their dog and their van i’m not not going to enjoy it #mswl

i want this chaotic energy in book form, please!!! #mswl

i think a lot (like a LOT) about the wasted potential of this relationship, so if anyone has any angsty generals/princes on opposing sides of a war dynamics, i would ❤️ to see it! #MSWL

this is very #MSWL!

i can’t believe i forgot to say—in these most autumnal of falls, i’d love to acquire a #middlegrade or #graphicnovel with strong “over the garden wall” vibes 💀🍁🌕

a few very Specific #MSWL items i’m actively looking for:
- YA superstore
- an #ownvoices PB about sacheen littlefeather
- YA set in catholic/boarding/private school—bonus points for murder 💀

i’m also posting on my MSWL profile & here:

i’m still digging my way out from under a pile of submissions (sorry agents!!!) but there’s always room on my #MSWL for:
- unapologetically self-indulgent, diverse #YA
- YA historical fiction, mystery, & fantasy
- YA contemporary, either dark & spine-tingly or warm & lighthearted
