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

this is major #mswl energy

on a slightly related note, i would give my horse, my house, my whole heart for a YA novel about bandits #mswl

please, may i have a whole book abou suffrajiujitsu? #mswl

i feel like maybe i’ve said this before, but i’d really like to read a middle grade in the vein of bob’s burgers—lighthearted & full of shenanigans, and ultimately about growing up in a close-knit working class family #mswl

this is very #MSWL

this!!! this is a thing i want more of, so much, all the time #mswl

hi friends! i would LOVE to see an #ownvoices picture book biography about eddie aikau

i just finished the most recent mfm epsiode where @KarenKilgariff covers his story, and i might have cried a little (a lot) #mswl

now that we’re in the swing of new year celebrations it’s just occurred to me that i would ❤️ to acquire a picture book, mg, or ya about lion dancing/lion dancers #mswl

this is very, very high on my #mswl 🤓

the french revolution from the perspective of peasants & revolutionaries & the women who marched on versailles is something that is perpetually on my #mswl

#mswl 👀👀👀🍸

now that i’m officially done with FMA:B i just want to say that at the tippy-top of my #mswl are lawful neutral female characters like general olivier armstrong and postcolonial SFF that breaks my heart and puts it back together again

#mswl 👀👀👀

who has six arms, three heads, and is dying for an angsty/tender/sweet queer romance in a high-stakes riverdale-esque murder mystery a la omar and ander from elite??

(me, it’s me) #mswl

i have a tumblr where i've been slowly collecting #mswl items, in addition to my tag here on twitter ❤️

i just started playing detention & it's a truly chilling game
not the least because the white terror extended forty years and killed nearly 4000 people

i definitely want to read a nuanced, well-researched YA set during taiwanese martial law someday #MSWL

✨这是！我爱吃的！菜！ #MSWL ✨

my current #mswl vibe is an aggressively weird, lovecraftian (but not racist & aware of & subverting the imperial potential of horror & sci-fi), dieselpunk novel set in like an alternate-universe metropolis à la fallen london & sunless sea
