Oooh, #MSWL day! I don’t 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 I’m 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 past

I 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. #mswl

Penny Moore @precociouspenny

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

Replying to @precociouspenny

Eternal #mswl !!!

Forbidden Art Hacks(tm) @CryptoCrystals

hot take but you write gay relationships the same way you write straight ones. You don't HAVE to get into the "facing the hardships of being a same-gender couple" aspect in your fiction. I would encourage you not to anyway bc im tired of gay tragedy i want happy lesbians, Harold

Today's #MSWL, happy lesbians

A tweet brought to you by flap-copy drafting season: If it can be described with the phrase “forge an unlikely friendship,” it is for me #mswl

Lauren Spieller @laurenspieller

I love fairytales, the darker and more dangerous the better.

I love stories about girls with troubled pasts.

Stories about magic, and its cost.

Take me on a journey that makes me never want to come home.

#MSWL

Magic that has a price, and situations that make it worth the risk. So much yes. #mswl

Magic
