"Fiction with a splash of whimsy: like THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY and WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE STARS. Not quite magical realism but maybe." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Why am I just watching the brilliance that is, "On My Block?" This is the type of YA content we need. Publishing, take note.

Love this show! Someone send me the book #mswl

Last tweet has reminded me of the Note Notebooks I maintained with friends in elementary school that were a sort of shared diary interwoven with ridiculousness (bizarre stories, Weird Qwizzes, general goofiness). The group chat of my youth.

On that note, #MSWL for a sincere but funny middle grade novel about kids facing real world stakes who are also just unapologetically little weirdoes.

After visiting Burano, a center of lace-making in the Venice lagoon for centuries, I’d love to find a book about the Italian girls kidnapped by the French court to use their skills exclusively for the French king. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/Z7nIco33id
