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

hi friends! i would LOVE to see an #ownvoices picture book biography about eddie aikau

i just finished the most recent mfm epsiode where @KarenKilgariff covers his story, and i might have cried a little (a lot) #mswl

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’m looking for female and/or gender non-conforming, children’s graphic novel creators to collab with on a book about puberty and body positivity! #MSWL

YESSSSS #MSWL

Wednesday morning #MSWL! I’d love to see a YA version of @netflix’s “You”...creepy stalker love interest and the exploration of the people we become on social media. And a little murder couldn’t hurt. 😬

[2/2] I want books that encourage kids, especially girls, to speak up when something isn’t pleasurable and learn about their bodies to find out what does feel good. If you haven’t watched this show, run don’t walk to your TV @netflix @sexeducation #MSWL

[1/2] I watched @sexeducation on @netflix and I’m in love with how tender, funny, and nuanced this show is. I want to see a YA novel with a premise like this. #MSWL

Hey hi this is literally my dream project! #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

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

I DO love allegory, but I'm very particular about HOW it's done. Rich, gently tended symbolism is a must. Be clear, but not obvious; be original, but true to the source. #MSWL #CF #YA

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

I'm just not into angels. Same goes for demons, werewolves, vampires, witches, and memoir, especially when pronounced meh-MWAH. anti-#MSWL

now that we’re in the swing of new year celebrations it’s just occurred to me that i would ❤️ to acquire a picture book, mg, or ya about lion dancing/lion dancers #mswl

Eternal #mswl. Someone send me a slow-burning romance, STAT!

Hello, I’d love a fictionalized (factually accurate, respectful, but pull-no-punches) account of Frida Kahlo’s teenage years, possibly verse (think Blood Water Paint). #MSWL

Dear Universe,

I'd like to see some more contemporary MG submissions featuring video game nerds (and tournaments), awesome friendships, and relatable, diverse protagonists in the world.
