What I absolutely love about this trend of Tidying Up, Queer Eye, and Great British Bake Off is that it moves us away from cynicism and cutting people down into a mode of kindness, support, and lifting each other up. So so much more of this moving forward please.This is a big #MSWL mood for me in 2019! Letās have some warmth, hope, and good genuine fun.

I want more small stories in epic settingsWhat I mean: fantasy worlds, galaxy-spanning space confederacies, magical kingdoms, living cities, etc. etc. etc. as settings but a focus on small stories within those settings
Eternal #MSWL! I love a different genreās story in an SFF settingāespecially if the author has cleverly teased out some smart interactions between the two.

In the mood for a hopeful, uplifting middle grade that will make me cry my eyes out. #mswl

Thrilled to see 2019 already trying to make witches happen. Multigenerational, feminist, family-heavy witch book for YA or MG? Do want! #mswl

Always here for more queer YA! ESPECIALLY bi/pan rep. #mswl

You all know I love fantasy. Looking for things that feel a bit out of the box now. Contemporary fantasy, maybe? YA urban fantasy? An update on Harry Potter? I donāt know; surprise me. #mswl
Stephanie Stein @stephlystein · 12 Sep 2018
Fun, flirty, feminist, queer historical fiction! Think A GENTLEMANāS GUIDE TO VICE & VIRTUE. #mswl

Oooh, #MSWL day! I donāt have a ton of time to pop in today, but check out past tweets or my (up-to-date!) post on the site, linked in my profile. But while Iām here...Bring me a YA romance that reads like your favorite fanfic. High-concept premise (fake relationship? Austen retelling? Whatever!), slow burn, Big OTP Energy. #mswl

Publishers, please consider buying more queer Harry Potter-ish books because wow do I get a lot of requests for them on the LGBTQReads Tumblr.Also, you really need Sapphic YA vampires. Pretty sure @whimsicallyours will write them for you if you ask nicely.
I am MORE THAN WILLING to consider buying ALL OF THESE #mswl *stares at inbox*

lunchtime thought: lately been getting some young writers asking for advice and i don't feel totally equipped to dispense it but i will say one area that is wide open should you choose to make it your milieu is hidden or forgotten or undertold stories of women of the pastI wants them, my preciouses. Fiction or nonfiction! (And teen or middle grade, as always!) #mswl

I love fantasy, but my inbox is crying out for contemporary/realistic fiction. #mswlSame, friends. Would love a killer contemporary voice! #mswl

What I'm currently looking for:1) Culturally rich MG contemporary that will make me ugly cry.
2) Culturally rich YA fantasy or contemporary with unapologetic female protagonists who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. #MSWL
Eternal #mswl !!!
