For me, MG & YA submissions truly need to be based on a concept I've never heard before & I'm not a fan of stereotypical characters. #MSWL

I'm always looking for MG and YA novels that offer something different and feature unusual characters. #MSWL

Would also love a YA with a non-linear timeline. #MSWL

I would love a super intense LGBTQ romance for YA, as well. Not necessarily a coming out story, just an enjoyable love story! #MSWL

#MSWL eerie + haunting #YA and #A horror, and funny #MG horror (I REALLY like scary stories).

I will also absolutely consider fresh paranormal YA. It's gotta be amazing, but I think the door is slowly opening, so BRING IT. #MSWL

I'd love a YA beach read. Breezy, Fun, romantic. Something to make me smile and swoon. #MSWL

My BookEnds colleagues have decided my next #MSWL should include shirtless men with scythes #Poldark

That scene in Jupiter Ascending where Mila and Channing deal with the crazy/hilarious bureaucracy? I want crazy/hilarious bureaucracy. #mswl

Friend-dynamic like Rey and Finn or Rey and Han on the Millennium Falcom, or Rey/Finn/Poe. Bonus if there are spaceships. #mswl

Someone write this now! #MSWL twitter.com/brittashipsit/…

#MSWL YA/MG novels where sense of place is so vivid & real, the setting almost becomes a character itself. Bonus points if it's southern.

#MSWL Would love #YA #SFF or #CON retellings of classic lit, that put a new angle on old favorites.

ALSO, something like PITCH BLACK would be fantastic. #mswl

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
