So I guess my point is twofold: a) make sure you're signalling speculative elements right up front in your query, & b) send me more high-concept contemp!! #pubtip #mswl

As I visit the library today, I am reminded of how much I like dystopian YA. But smart dystopian. Like SCYTHE, WITHER, so give me smart dystopian #MSWL

My #FridayFeeling is also my #MSWL -- women's fiction about the effect the opioid crisis has on one family. #WF #MSWLMadness

"#YA involving fringe science in a contemporary setting." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I still desperately need a Women's Fiction or Romance or even just Contemporary like The Bold Type! Friendship and female bosses galore! And HUMOR! All the laugh out loud lines, please! #MSWL

Give me a fresh spin on The Prodigal Son story. #MSWL

You guys—my nine-year-old totally wants a book where Cinderella’s Fairy godmother turns her into Big Foot but she still tries to dance with the prince anyway... #MSWL PLEASE. #kidlit

Good god! Make me a story with this girl. #MSWL

#mswl I'd also really love a fantasy similar to Tanya Huff's FIFTH QUARTER. Assassins, magic, forbidden romance, and conflicting loyalties, oh my!

A MG or YA graphic novel. #MSWL

THE LITTLE MERMAID meets THE VILLAGE where the mermaids are the monsters terrorizing the island. #MSWL

I sooo want to read stories with characters like these. #MSWL

So I will add to this that if you do space pirates, I want space mermaids. Space should be treated like the sea. #MSWL

Scandal, but in high school #MSWL

Character driven fantasy. Something that feels new and different from everything else out there. #MSWL

I still need my witch book. But I am thinking less fantasy, more grounded low-fantasy. So CHARMED or PRACTICAL MAGIC. #MSWL

A twisty pyschological thriller. I just devoured BEFORE I LET GO by @mariekeyn. And I love @kitfrick and @MindyMcGinnis. So these are my gold standard. #MSWL #YA
