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 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

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, HaroldToday's #MSWL, happy lesbians

Why are there not more YA novels about teen Olympians, I ask you? pic.twitter.com/7MavGmwKRQSUCH #mswl
Also, @CaelaCarter's TUMBLING is this for women's gymnastics and it's awesome

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

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
