Also I’m certainly not saying parents NEEEEEED to be alive to query me. But if you spent any time in my queries, you’d wonder if there were any other launching points besides major trauma. Kids can be interesting AND come from intact families. Is all I’m saying... #MSWL pic.twitter.com/AooESpIyH0In fact, I’d just love to see stories from kids in a variety of family structures that WORK. The beauty of a family is that there is no defined shape to a loving support network. Show me! #MSWL

*ahem*GRAPHIC NOVELS ARE NOT 'DUMBING DOWN' READING.
THEY ARE REAL BOOKS.

I would love to see more graphic nonfiction for adult readers. #mswl

Since the wee hours, my mind has been wrapped around a question: What would a fantasy world inspired by the American Midwest look like? Divorced from "Wizard of Oz," what would a Fantasy Midwest be? What elements are so quintessentially Midwestern they MUST be included somehow?#MSWL midwestern fantasy + diverse voices

Does anyone write MG or YA without dead parents? With alive, loving parents? With semi-functional families? Anyone? #MSWL

Listening to Steve Reich (thanks @TommyVierbuchen--this is amazing) is reminding me of my kookiest current #mswl: a TRICK MIRROR-like--fun! But brilliant! But crucially fun!--cultural crit book in appreciation of circularity and stasis in contemporary music/art/literature.

I truly adore royal romances as much as the next, but someone please send me a soapy, spite-filled YA contemporary version of The Other Boleyn Girl. Like, you want a Christmas prince/princess? You gotta fucking FIGHT for them. Possibly with your own sister #MSWL

Speaking of #MSWL, I would love something that combines espionage and WWI or WWII for the middle-grade audience. CODE NAME VERITY for younger readers? Show me whatcha got.

Ilove a good 2nd person/interactive picture book and Jory John’s I WILL CHOMP YOU is one of my favorites. Buford is a little mad he got no cake, though.
