I would believe literally any story so long as it takes place in a Waffle House. Waffle Houses exist at the intersection of all dimensions. Anything is possible once you step in.Waffle House as a gateway to alternate dimensions and the goofball teens who meet there is 10000% on my #MSWL

Hi! Iโm putting it out into the universe that Iโd 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 Iโm 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 thatโs like the nostalgic, slice-of-life, utterly precious gift that is Only Yesterday. #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 itโs from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL
Editor
Hi, I am always in the mood for spooky, feminist witch stories, so thatโs a hard #MSWL right there for ya

I want to believe that stories can change hearts. Iโm actively seeking stories about immigrants, refugees, and the marginalized, so please send me your graphic novels, your picture books, your YA, your MG! Love and empathy and awareness can be radical. #MSWL
