#MSWL if someone would like to write a picture book biography about all the marvelous, kind, beautiful things Robin Williams did with his brilliant and complex life, I would like to be first in line to see it!

#MSWL for a YA that carries this same heart

Friendly reminder that gimme gimme all your BIPOC Kiki’s Delivery Service-adjacent middle grade, please and thanks! #MSWL

Friendly reminder to the Universe that I am always looking for books that feel conjured from the same magic source as this album: #MSWL

Hello I’d love to see more books about intersectional environmentalism! #MSWL

I am SO happy to see more Native representation and celebration!! Agents, I am always looking to amplify Native voices in any genre or age range (with children’s publishing), so just putting that out there ;) #MSWL

Give me this exact energy in YA format #MSWL

Waffle House as a gateway to alternate dimensions and the goofball teens who meet there is 10000% on my #MSWL

YES! Always always thinking about what first contact would look like. Basically, gimme YA or MG Arrival ❤️

Please to the Universe, might I have a Queen’s Gambit YA novel? #MSWL

This this this is always my #MSWL and also I am here for these Avatar/Korra vibes and eternally here for queen Kelly Marie Tran 💜💜💜

Hi! I’m putting it out into the universe that I‘d love to acquire more middle grade novels! I want to find strong personalities and big hearts, stories about finding confidence and discovering friendship, magical stories, contemporary tales, amplifying marginalized voices. #MSWL

I cannot believe that I am one day away from watching @LovecraftHBO . So I‘m gonna channel this energy and The Secret some stuff into the Universe: Please send all supernatural horror YA that centralizes PoC and examines racism and intersectional feminism via monsters thx!! #MSWL

Hi I would give ANYTHING to acquire a middle grade novel that’s like the nostalgic, slice-of-life, utterly precious gift that is Only Yesterday. #MSWL

Hello, who wants to discuss #DarkNetflix ? And who wants to write its spiritual YA component? #mswl

Yes HELLO I would love a YA novel that matched this mood, please and thank you!! #mswl

Again, still looking for that capybara picture book #MSWL !

Anyway #MSWL

Hello! I am on the hunt for a dark, magical YA that has elements of romance but is more largely focused on Some Grand Mystery/Threat, in the vein of Chime or The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Gimme that spooky, transportive grit, especially if it’s from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL

Hi, I am always in the mood for spooky, feminist witch stories, so that’s a hard #MSWL right there for ya
