sometimes when i say i want more stories with characters of color & queer characters, i mean stories where they’re fighting in intergalactic wars, time-traveling, navigating a post-apocalyptic world, committing heists, etc. not like.........dealing with racism & queerphobiaMy forever #mswl Shit, imagine if Buffy was black? I’ll give you a fucking second to visualize.

I love books that force us to have an internal debate about a subject, especially when it makes us see the villainous tidbits of our personalities and helps us change into a better version of ourselves.

Why can't we support a woman for president. We expect women to raise a family but not a nation? twitter.com/nytimes/status…Can I please, #MSWL, have an adult fiction written documentary style (as if memoir maybe, or interview style like SLEEPING GIANTS) where a woman becomes president and overcomes all the crap.

Cults of personality.Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

@leslie_zampetti These ideas are awesome (I'd SO love to read them!), and also, I've yet to see a mainstream YA romance with two MO characters, or Conservative characters, or really almost anything mainstream without a bar/bat mitzvah, inter-faith relationship, or the Holocaust.I know! Maybe you’re writing something? 😉
I’d love to see contemporary Jewish YA without the b’nei mitzvot or Holocaust or even anti-Semitism. I am up for inter-faith relationships tho - if done in a fresh way. 😊 #MSWL

#MSWL Contemporary Jewish romance! What about a cute rabbi who falls in ❤️ with her cantor? Modern orthodox man falls in ❤️ with a Reform fella? Anyone? Anyone?

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
