I'd really love to work on a #YA non fic about the War on Drugs akin to The New Jim Crow. Any leads would be so appreciated. #MSWL

I'd really like a #MG with a Puerto Rican protag, please! Doesn't have to (but could!) take place on the island. #MSWL

I'm always down for puns for #PB but erring on subtle, if possible. More points for hte premise itself being the pun. #MSWL

Realizing my #MSWL tweets are very stream of consciousness today, which coincidentally is something I'd like in #MG or #YA if done well.

I would love a #MG historical fiction that takes place in Puerto Rico--or about a family immigrating from PR to mainland USA. #MSWL

I'm also into #MG #NF but it has to be a topic that is hyper interesting that makes learning history in school seem relevant. #MSWL (1/2)

I'd love a really funny & poignant #MG with POC main protags. I guess a MG version of Dope is what I'm asking for here. #YA, too tho. #MSWL

I would love a #YA that plays with a format like Ifemelu's storyline in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's incredible novel, Americanah. #MSWL

Does anyone have a contemporary #MG with a young lesbian protag a la Better Nate Than Ever but not about NY/Broadway? #MSWL

I'd love a #YA that treated a human/earth issue like @OITNB handles the problems and nuances of incarceration. Idk exactly what tho. #MSWL

How about a #MSWL #YA about a foreign exchange experience? Either going to another country, or adopting a new person into your home?

#MSWL I'd <3 a #PB that shows the chronological development of an artist like the Van Gogh/Picasso/Toulouse Lautrec/Andy Warhol museums do.

Could I get a #YA loosely based on Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, but for some reunion a teen would be anxious about? #MSWL

#MSWL a #YA that makes me feel kind of bad for laughing my butt off--a book that I mentally don't want to think is funny, but can't help it.
