YA like The Half of It is a big #mswl forever twitter.com/chidiaqian/sta…

Novels that address religion for MG and YA, because both religion and books for kids and teens are about finding your place in a big world #mswl

YA about moving on from high school! Anything about college admissions, the summer after senior year, freshman year of college (or of life) #mswl

Welcome to 2020, publishing! Agent friends, here’s a #mswl thread for pinning and perusing and adding to all year.

Forever, I’m looking for PB, MG, and YA, especially by underrepresented creators, especially contemporary fiction that leads with joy.

Does there exist a YA heist/cozy mystery entitled Be Gay Do Crimes? If not, dibs.

(also every idea i have these days is actually just a meme #mswl)

Also, when I say "YA about religion" on my #mswl, I mean books that handle religion the way this show does: as one part of the push-pull of regular life, as one part of figuring out the complicated shape of the world

YA about religion and faith is on my permanent #mswl because faith and growing up are both about Big Questions—finding them, answering them (or not), and living anyway.

I wonder if it's possible to write a truly excellent YA novel in Jane the Virgin-style narrator voice. If it is, I want it please. #mswl

#mswl: YA set at this weekly dance party at Orchard Beach in the Bronx. Who's fighting and falling in love there?

My forever #mswl: In the Heights as a YA novel. (I feel like maybe @Lin_Manuel has some writing commitments already, so it's up to YOU.)
