Heartfelt &/or humorous middle grade that is rich & textured in its characterizations, stylistic choices, language, & telling. Give me subplots & side characters & settings that all work to make a story feel sophisticated & fully-realized & ALIVE. #MSWL #MG

Forever looking for a MG or YA version of N.K. Jemisin's The Fifth Season, a #SFF that effortlessly sweeps me up in the story, characters, and world all at the same time. #MSWL

YA superstore? #MSWL twitter.com/alyzaliu/statu…

tbh allllll of Kristin's #MSWL totally resonates for me, so check them out here!

I might just scream and never stop if this appeared in the @RootLiterary submission inbox. #MSWL

Here's a pinterest on the Graphic Novels Illustration styles I love, which also has some of my favorite Graphic novels. #MSWL

And, of course, I am always looking for stories featuring disability, mental illness, LGBTQ, POC, #ownvoices, different cultures, different religions...INCLUSIVE. #MSWL

#YA/#Adult: Male and female friendship that is strictly platonic. I love LGBTQ characters, but I'd like them to be straight to show that men & women can just be friends. Ex: Alex and Meredith (Grey’s), Delilah and Gary (A Million Little Things), Olivia and Nick (SVU) #MSWL

Give me something that can be comped to Russian Doll, About Time, or Here And Now and Then! #mswl

I'd love to see a women's/upmarket/rom com novel like Brittany Runs A Marathon, but with another (at first, seemingly impossible) goal. #MSWL

Some fun specific #MSWL things I'm looking for in YA:

A teen birder.
Teens really into snorkeling and diving.
Kids interning in national parks.
Teens really into rock climbing.

Give me niche, specific stories about passion projects, with all the unique terminology and language.

#YA Female friendship stories. Complicated end of friendships, not because something dramatic happened, but because people grow apart. We have all lost that person we consider our
best friend. I want to feel it. (It doesn't have to be the full story.) #MSWL

#MSWL Two people with a shared past who dislike one another now, are forced to work together and they fall in love. Reluctant allies to lovers is fun!

#adult Going back to the Quinceanera post that I retweeted earlier, I'd also love to see this done with a bat mitzvah. Having a bat mitzvah at 12/13 is very different than having one at 30. But, I just want my fun Jewish stories. #hotmitzvah #MSWL

Related to heists/con artists! Would love something with White Cat vibes. aka one of the best novels ever. So twisty. So good. Excellent magic system #mswl

As a Texan, I would read the crap out of this, but I have to say: only TexMex would win. #MSWL

Though I do love CaliMex.

Also, TWEET CUTE is such a comp for this.

#mswl #YA I love to see tricky narrators, ballgowns & pirates, spies during a revolution, and giving classic books a new twist!

I'd also love something like this. I really love food, I love cooking, and I love characters who do, too. #MSWL
