if you gave me a Dark and Edgy YA contemporary about a group of friends solving mysteries with their dog and their van i’m not not going to enjoy it #mswl

#mswl Black metropolitan aesthetics from the past, present, & future.

i've reached the point where i'm itching for a FUN #MG or #YA submission. i'm down for a spiral into something fascinating but it has to be within a plot with adventure, hijinx, but most importantly, i want to laugh and enjoy the ride. #MSWL

I’m sorry whaaaattt??? This is amazing. So many great picture book ideas this weekend! #MSWL

The adorableness is unreal. Otter Olympics perhaps?? #MSWL

Picture books with murder pls. I like it when animals eat other animals. But it can be people too. 👹 #mswl

Contemp romance under 80K with series potential — 😍 fluid, concise writing. 😍 Pitch to me here or send queries to the email listed in my bio/profile #MSWL

#MSWL: this illustration, but in book form.

Hi, I am always in the mood for spooky, feminist witch stories, so that’s a hard #MSWL right there for ya

I mean, yes. I keep asking... #MSWL

i want this chaotic energy in book form, please!!! #mswl

“Hell is a teenage girl”—PLEASE, someone send me a queer, feminist, campy horror novel in the vein of Jennifer’s Body, which I just watched for the first time (because that original marketing campaign, yikes) and omg. #MSWL

Dear literary agents, please send me historical mysteries + international mysteries with great hooks and voices we haven’t heard before. Thanks! #mswl

General #MSWL stuff: magic/spells gone wrong, ghosts, resurrections, possessions, the end of the world scenarios, characters who get themselves into weird/messed up situations that push them to their emotional limits, & friendship stories, especially friendships that ended badly.

I’m not much of a horror fan, but it just struck me that I’d love to see a YA along the lines of IT FOLLOWS. Something scary as hell that addresses teen sexuality (but is sex-positive, not moralizing) #mswl

Can someone please write a YA gothic horror novel with a simmering f/f romance about the green ribbon girl? I want it soooooo bad #MSWL

Agents, send me stories with nonlinear narratives, please! I love the way foreshadowing can be done with non-chronological timelines, and how knowing the ending can make me all the more drawn into the story. #MSWL

Ok agents. Give me some MG or YA journalist books in which kids on their school papers learn what it really means to be fair and balanced. The power of the press is real and amazing; let’s show young readers its might and its responsibility. #MSWL
