Odd things I like: yarn, metal detectors, caves & crypts, strange animals, chemistry, HS marching bands, detailed lists, and cheese. #MSWL

And definitely graphic novel illustrator-writers (esp if diverse!!), like my client @katfcomix #MSWL

Stories that make me cry, like BETWEEN SHADES OF GRAY or OKAY FOR NOW); Witches! Goblins! Magical realism...and the kitchen sink #MSWL

Unconventional love stories! Kidnapping! Adventure! Marginalized protags in non-issue stories (like my fave ATTACK THE BLOCK!) #MSWL

Last one: I love the American west. That's my home. Lit fic set in CO, NM, etc. People get Up To Stuff out west and I am HERE FOR IT #MSWL

I want to be surprised in the realm of MG, YA, and adult fiction. Pirates! Epic love! Plus-sized protags! Creepy tales! Historicals! #MSWL

#MSWL Gimme all your #ownvoices contemporary commercial fiction with Muslim protagonists. MG, YA, adult. Set here or elsewhere.

This is getting off topic. #MSWL: YA version of Basquiat's 'Untitled (1981)'

Magic that isn't real magic. Ghosts not really there. Tricks, illusions. As in, an adult novel SET IN REALITY but with surreal themes #MSWL

#MSWL I'm always interested in YA on the intoxicating toxicity of friendship in the teen years.

#mswl I'd love a YA, NA or Adult contemporary with a setting in an exotic rainforest.

In pb, mg and ya, always looking for diversity, including POC, LGBTQIA and gender non-conforming protags. #MSWL bit.ly/1S2oKPx
