In kidlit more broadly (PB-YA) I am on the hunt for more NF that teaches and inspires in a fun accessible way. I lean towards non-fiction that focuses on a specific event or person, that really digs in to give us a clear picture as opposed to broad themes #MSWL

Horror & horror. All types & ages (mg, ya, adult). Could be super scary. Psychological. Thriller. Mystery. Warm Bodies-esque. Odd Thomas-esque. Any way you slice it. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I just watched ALWAYS BE MY MAYBE on Netflix and would love to see a fun foodie #YA #ms like that which delivers big on ethnic flavors amidst a fun #RomCom setting. I’d also love to see more #NF or graphic NF aimed at middle graders!

MG that thrills me. Bring me action, friendship, magic, fast-pace and fierce characters #mswl

And, by extension, the death-centric rituals we perform throughout time and culture in order to hold onto a person's memory/essence. #MSWL

As always, I'm looking for stories by marginalized voices. I'd really want to see more body diversity in #MG and #YA. #MSWL

#MSWL You know how ghosts are often described in Victorian-era clothes? I'd love a creepy book that links all the Victorian ghosts back to death-centric rituals/obsessions of that era--the hair rings, eating ashes, etc.

More #MG about family businesses, a la FRONT DESK. #MSWL

#MSWL What I'll call "Shiny Sci-Fi," a la The Thousandth Floor or Minority Report, with world-building that shows both the polished surface and the grimy world underneath. #YA #MG

#MSWL time! I'd love an #MG like The Hazel Wood: a fantasy grounded in a specific American city, where magic mixes with the every day.

I’m still searching for my YA version of CLUE #MSWL

That said more #LGBTQIA books all around #MSWL - (it can but it doesn’t have to have a romance)

I'd love a witch book! Witches in contemporary settings. Witches in their own world. Maybe a witch who doesn't want their powers anymore. A whole clan of witches ready to burn down the world.

#MSWL

#YA - two girls who are competing for the spot as class president fall in love - please!! #MSWL

Ok, I think that's all for now! You can always read more of my #MSWL on my website (linked below). mariavicente.com/representation

You know how Gwenyth Paltrow hired a book curator for her home? (If you didn't, now you do.) Well, I want nonfiction books a curator would pick out for Busy Philipps. #MSWL

I need more graphic novels. I love rom-coms, fantasy, and genre bending. Recent fave reads: JANE, PERSEPHONE, SLAM, LUMBERJANES. #MSWL

My #MSWL includes nonfiction for kids and teen readers, too!

I am currently closed to queries for medical reasons. But when I come back (hopefully in October) I will want fun kidlit to cheer me up! #mswl

Speaking of learning (I'm a Virgo, leave me alone), I love working on nonfiction books. It's difficult to list specific topics because I don't know what I don't know! Teach me something cool. #MSWL
