Feeling a little down about the idea of working from home, and from the realization that I likely won't travel to Chicago next month and see my family. Agents, now would be a GREAT time to slide into my inbox with a heartwarming and cutesy picture book! #MSWL

Another #MSWL for 2020, off of a recent email from @JuniperJazzz, who comped her second book to an anime. Agents, if a book you represent feels tonally like an anime, I want to see it!

Thinking on my 2020 #MSWL and what I'd really like to see in my inbox are monstrous girls (maybe literally!) and the cinnamon rolls that love them

My dudes (because it is always the dude writers), it does not give a female main character βstrengthβ to be sexually assaulted for the sake of βcharacter buildingβ in her first chapter. It just shows that youβre a hack. Consider this my anti-#MSWL.

Iβm not much of a horror fan, but it just struck me that Iβd love to see a YA along the lines of IT FOLLOWS. Something scary as hell that addresses teen sexuality (but is sex-positive, not moralizing) #mswl

Recently finished watching Love Alarm on Netlix and boooo hissss that ending but also #MSWL, I want a YA in that vein!βThat veinβ = exploring the way technology impacts our lives in an interesting new way. If your YA novel could be described as βlike Black Mirror but fluffy,β I want to see it.

Finally saw ABOUT TIME this weekend and so loved it. Agents, just a reminder that lightly speculative projects grounded in our world are EXTREMELY my jam. #MSWL

Olympics means Olympian-inspired #MSWL...I want a book about a teenage girl whose mom is her coach a la Mikaela Shiffrin and her mother. Fascinated by that dynamic.

A complicated, messy, heartbreaking, hysterical, ultimately loving story about female friendship in YA. #MSWL
