#MSWL Today I'm wishing for books that will give people the tools to make a difference in our crazy bananas world. Books about living green, books about social change, social justice, activism. #nonfiction #millennials

#MSWL amazing writers on their musical obsessions. biographies of iconic women. smart writing on bad TV shows. secret histories of feminist heroes. love letters to pop music. cultural critiques from within the culture. the book you can't stop writing.

An upmarket novel featuring a black girl band (or other poc band) or singer, rapper, etc. think ON THE COME UP, but for adults. #MSWL

Would also love an ownvoices sweeping literary family saga that focuses on generational inheritance in any sense (trauma, land, etc.) #MSWL

I'm also looking for contemporary romance Amish stories 55k words. If you've got a complete manuscript lying around that fits this, send it my way. I'd give it priority in my reading pile.

My #MSWL

Inspirational romantic suspense 55k words. Stories that feature evocative outdoor imagery (national parks, mountains, caves), witness protection, forensics, hero dogs, holidays, juicy secrets.

H/h of faith but not preachy. Equal focus given to suspense & romance.

I've been dying for a creepy, atmospheric contemporary southern gothic with poc characters. #MSWL so hard y'all!

Happy #MSWL day! If I don’t get a romance/women’s fiction submission about a 30-year-old Latinx woman who’s throwing her quinceañera part 2 (aka the one she never had) and finally gets the boy who got away, I will flip. Think Never Been Kissed meets The Wedding Singer con azucar.

So Berkley is famed for its cozy mysteries (go peep @BerkleyMystery to learn more!) and I've thought about what kind of pet I'd be if I were in a cozy mystery.

I believe I'd be a chicken.

Okay, up next is my #MSWL so that I can provide you with more books to love. Currently looking for female-centric romantic suspense, hilarious contemporary romances, flirty historicals, millennial anything, and urban fantasy (ya hate to see it)

On a whim I decided to watch this movie on Netflix called Ramen Shop and it's an amazing story about culture, family, love, and (of course) food.

Now I'd like a YA or MG story that explores the bonds of family and culture (especially a blended one) through food! #mswl

I’d cut off my arm for a contemporary thriller/horror novel where the protagonist joins their high school/college’s soccer team and finds out it’s a cult #mswl

My bizarre fascination with these girl scammer stories—and the toxic friendships they rely on—means I’m craving a fiction YA (and age-appropriate) retelling! #MSWL

Is anyone else into the show Let's Eat because I'd really love a #ownvoices #DV, contemporary #YA book with the same kind of style about a MC who just lives for food. Also if it could include some mouth-watering descriptions I would appreciate it. Cool thanks! #mswl
