I'll always/forever be looking for YA best described as the "love story of a friendship," where romance isn't core; close f'ship is. #MSWL

(Aside to previous #MSWL re: science-based MG/YA: not seeking climate change stories; I get tons of those. Looking for less common science.)

#MSWL YA or MG novel w/ interesting scientific elements woven into the plot or somehow forming narrative/structural backbone.

Also compelling narrative nonfiction! Not memoir. Eager for reporting with voice, current events, untold history with lasting impact #mswl

Extreme settings and near-death experiences would be cool. Like, a fictional version of INTO THIN AIR or TOUCHING THE VOID (docudrama) #mswl

My YA inbox is so dark & angsty! Would love to see YA HUMOR. Specifically: voice-driven, smart, witty humor, not snarky or belittling. #MSWL

Eager for suspense fiction of all kinds, especially upmarket thrillers and procedurals with an unexpected angle on the tropes we love #mswl

Another thing I tweeted earlier: dark and twisty like PEAKY BLINDERS. #mswl

I tweeted this a earlier, but figured now is a good time to reiterate: child-free heroes & heroines, especially in romance genre. #mswl

#MSWL (Pt 2) All the narratives about/with Latinx, neurodiversity, bi-multi-racial identities, LGBTQIA, and/or PoC.

I've been haunted by Buchi Emecheta's SECOND CLASS CITIZEN since I read it in 2010, especially the ending. #mswl

I also want something to make me ugly-cry. #mswl

Oh and one other #MSWL! Give me a fairy tale retelling with LGBT+ characters. Like a m/m Beauty & the Beast.

#MSWL YA stories about young WoC but no love triangles! Novels about 'old' and 'middle age' women that have nothing to do with marriage!

As always, morally ambiguous fantasy! Think BLACK SUN RISING's Gerald Terrant or FEAST OF SOULS's Kamala. AKA the next CS Friedman. #mswl

You could even say that I am looking for some manuscripts that scare me. #mswl cookeagency.ca/submissions.htm

LGBTQIA contemporary romance for adult and YA. LGBTQIA characters in all genres. #mswl

I'd love to see sister stories and/or (positive) girl friendship stories. #mswl

Related: arranged marriages, marriages of (in)convenience, and friends to lovers are all tropes I love. Send me those, too! #mswl #romance

And of course... Send me your diverse voices and your LGBTQIA characters. I'd love an intersex or gender queer MC! #MSWL
