#MSWL please give me this YA

#mswl

I just saw the Downton Abbey movie trailer and I'm super excited!

I'd love to see in my inbox a #YA Downton Abbey-esque MS with contemporary themes! Please!

#MSWL: I'd love a YA in the vein of #SeeYouYesterday. Set in the hot center of a contemporary American city. Give me the sounds, sights, flavors of the place, all in the middle of the summer. Make the stakes as high as THUG. Make it shine with magic/fantasy. Blend the genres.

#mswl 💁🏻‍♀️

I want this. #mswl (read the thread tho)

A book featuring e-sports would be so cool! I’d also love a MG book about table top games for my fellow D&D or Magic fans! #mswl

17. Basically if you want to listen to all the songs for yourself: open.spotify.com/user/125271563… #MSWL #AuditoryMSWL

16. Also "We Are Never Getting Back Together" and "Love You Like Love Song" are totally two songs that should be played back to back over and over for inspiration on a contemporary about a couple who just can't seem to get their timing right. #MSWL

Wait, I thought I was done, but then my #AuditoryMSWL decided to play some songs.

15. I said it once but I will say it again: TSwift's LOOK WHAT YOU MADE is COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO soooo I would love a gender bent retelling of that. #MSWL

And finally to wrap all this up, diversity is welcome in all of this. I'm looking to make cool stories with cool people. 😎 #MSWL

14. Feel free to check out my #VisualMSWL board for inspiration on some elements: pinterest.com/nataschamorris…

Because who can resist James Norton's pillowy lips when they think about slow burn romances. #MSWL

13. Magical Realism meets THE THIRTEENTH YEAR. My love of mermaids is not a well kept secret. I would love to see something that taps into it. Something that speaks to this image, and is atmospheric and romantic. #MSWL

12. Play with structure and your story telling. Some of my favorite books of late have been the ones that played with their narrative styles. Straight prose is nice, but use your literary toolbox. #MSWL

11. I love retellings. So hit me with those, but tell me the ones that are not told that often. And show me something new in your retelling. #MSWL

10. Also, reminder from my most epic Ren Faire trip: I kind of want a contemporary about working at a Ren Faire and the behind the drama. @angelinearly tweeted about feuds the other day, and I was curious about the hook-ups. So I feel like it could be a good mashup #MSWL.

9. I want something dark and creepy. I am very picky on my scary books, but I am in the mood to worry about sleeping in the dark. Think atmospheric or Gothic.

#MSWL

8. Book hangover. Something I haven't seen.

I have been reading in YA since I was a kid so I want to new takes on things. But I also want in on that secret of no-sleep because I stayed up too late reading a submission. #MSWL

7. I want a book that feels like SPIRITED AWAY and Neil Gaiman had a book child. I am not even sure what it would look like, but I want it. #MSWL

6a. Side note: did anyone see the story of the girl whose homemade slime business (that she was running out of the bathroom) got shut down by the administration? THAT is the kind of #MG version of this that would be epic. #MSWL

6. I want a book that challenges the patriarchy or even the authority. Books like SUGGESTED READING by Dave Connis or THE BIRDS, THE BEES, AND YOU AND ME by Olivia Hinebaugh. Books about kids seeing how stupid adults & the rules are and they find ways to fight back. #MSWL #YA #MG
