What about The Breakfast Club, but in a youth group missions trip/mandatory community service backdrop? Either multiple POV or from the perspective of the self-declared social outcast who realizes these are her people, after all? #MSWL #Christian #YA #Contemporary

#MSWL: A commercial picture book featuring two princesses in a partnership going on adventures and getting into trouble. (Preferably with character-driven series potential.) 😍

@jruoxichen Elder banshee aunties teaching fledgling banshees how to perfect their ethereal shrieks! A chapter where everyone contracts the same cold and all the banshees temporarily loose their voices and must chug honeyed tea! MOAR VENGEFUL YELLING!this has now fixed in my head as an actual #MSWL
BANSHEE PALACE: soap opera energy, palace intrigue, queer banshee romances, dialogue worthy of a Chinese period drama. misandry in the time of vengeance. I want it.

A Valentine’s Day #MSWL: grand, complex, diverse, epic science fiction and fantasy—with a fraught central romance that has lasting consequences for the world.

I like to call this list the T. S. Ferguson Is Good at His Job list: bookriot.com/2019/02/13/div… @TeeEss @InkyardPressLOL! I try. But yes, go read my books (PULP and ALL OUT) and the others on this list! Also, would love to find more POC and intersectional #OwnVoices historical fiction. #mswl

@AuthorLisaDunn reminded me about #FaithPitch coming up. I plan on scanning the feed for any great #Christian #YA especially #Fantasy and #scifi check out some of my older #MSWL

I've loved John Knowles since middle school. If you could call your MS "A Separate Peace" for Christian teens, I want to read it. I'm not sure how you'd make it "Christian," but I work for a Christian press, so I have to have some faith element. Just don't be cheesy :). #MSWL
Lisa Dunn @AuthorLisaDunn · Feb 12
One specific #MSWL for Christian #YA: I live in a small southern town, and I'd love a narrator with that undercurrent of commentary on everyone else and their "kin" who learns the hard way that the crazies around her are HER PEOPLE. Be sure to include a covered dish scene.

For #contemporary #YA, smart, humorous, introspective first person is more likely to draw me in, but I can fall in love with a sweet, dreamy voice, too. My tolerance for sap and cliche is pretty low, so be very careful with those. #MSWL
Lisa Dunn @AuthorLisaDunn · Feb 12
I love Lloyd Alexander's simple, beautiful characters and the grace with which he treats even his villains, but most of all, I love his themes of honor being found among the lowly. I would love to work on a MS that makes me feel like I've found a new Prydain. #MSWL

With #FaithPitch coming up in a few weeks, I want to share a few #MSWL items... twitter.com/Faith_Pitch/st…I'm just not into angels. Same goes for demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, and memoir, especially when pronounced meh-MWAH. anti-#MSWL
Ren Faires are on my #MSWL forever, just saying 👑

If I'm learning anything about the religion vs. science debate, it's that men seem to be the only ones involved in the conversation.We need more books by women on this subject. We need a new voices, a fresh perspective, a modern-day feminist lens.
...big time #MSWL. Women, nonbinary, and POC scientists and religious leaders discussing compatibility of sciand religion.

Natasha Lyonne’s #RussianDoll is the darkest, funniest, most comforting show of 2019 so far. bit.ly/2RMqNi7 pic.twitter.com/w7z05HLpC3YES! THIS! Also, I really want to work on some speculative fiction that's as sharp, funny, and layered as #RussianDoll. Something that uses the speculative element to say something, not just as a cool hook #mswl
