I'd particularly like to see more thrillers of all sorts featuring BIPOC protagonists. (I have asked for this in the past and received great submissions, and I cannot wait to see even more.) #MSWL

Just told an editor that I am "looking for the NEVER HAVE I EVER of YA novels," and now I am telling you. If you can use the Netflix show as an honest comp to your work, I want to see it. #MSWL

Do you like data on trans ownvoices YA fiction?? Well, have I got the blog post for you!! I broke down some of the info from my ownvoices masterlist to see how the indies and the Big 5 are doing.(Spoiler alert: it's dismal, but it's improving) raystoeve.com/2020/01/17/who…
Shout out and huge thank you to Ray for their amazing research here!
We need more trans stories!
When I reopen to queries, I'd love to see your trans stories in any age range and genre, please!

@RebeccAgent THAT'S AMAZING. I was in that Leno call for several minutes and totally confused before I realized I was in the wrong meeting. At least when it's a phone call you can just quietly hang up and pretend like it never happened.you know if this was a rom com, this would have been my meet cute. And...if someone tries to write this as YA where a teen signs into the wrong school's distance learning on the first day and meets a boy, I need to agent it... wth... #mswl

Agents, please know I’m absolutely ravenous for queer adult #horror for @TorNightfire. Like, foaming at the mouth, clawing at the walls, wailing at the moon, etc. etc. #MSWL twitter.com/garnetmorgue/s…Horror, queer and POC, will be top of my #mswl when I open in a couple weeks!

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Early morning #MSWL tweets, as the toddler has been up since 6.
YA that celebrates neurodiversity, from writers who are (can’t stress that enough) neurodivergent.
Fiction and memoir from (stressing again) adoptees, on the adoptee experience.

One of my dream #MSWL items is an adventure novel that reads like a film like FREE SOLO or THE BARKLEY MARATHONS feels. An edge-of-your-seat outdoors story with near-superhuman athleticism. I’ve spent all of quar hiking & watching ALONE so I’ve had too much time to dwell on this.This could also be narrative nonfic if you are the outdoorsy superhuman in question! #MSWL
