I tweeted about this again months later (twitter.com/oyinatiomi/sta…) and I’m still very much intrigued by this concept! #mswl

Pls give me some cringe comedy #mswl girls being silly and cringey and awkward together is exactly my taste

Putting this out there in the world again:

(Please make my “edit-a-book-with-the-WONDERFUL-plus-FUN-wordplay-and-whimsy-of-Alice-in-Wonderland” dreams come trueeeee (even if it’s YA)!!😭😭😭) #MSWL

maybe this isn't the most ideal time to #mswl but i would like More MG PLEASE for Salaam Reads & BFYR. 🥺 Magic. Action. Adventure. Cool Villains. PLEASEEEEE I BEG U.

Imma just leave this here.

#MSWL

I never thought I’d want anything to do with #TheCanterburyTales once I graduated but now I feel like a YA contemp/fantasy novel (loosely) inspired by/based on it (like structurally) could be really cool???

Guess after having it in 4+ classes, the brainwashing worked...

#MSWL

After spending the summer swooning over Jasmine Guillory novels, I'm excited to expand my #MSWL to include contemporary romances in the YA space! Looking for fresh, substantive stories with a great hook and stand-out voice that pull at the heartstrings.

In general, so, so, so much of what I'm looking for in contemporary hinges upon the presence of a: great setting, tropes I love, and a voice and characters I adore. #MSWL

I'm especially on the lookout for stories with trope-heavy plots and unbelievable voice that are informed by contemporary teen issues but not wholly centered around them. See: HOME AND AWAY by @candiceamanda and YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN!

TROPE-HEAVY ROMANCE! Especially diverse, queer, intersectional romances! Please for the love of all that's sacred someone send me an ace-romance. I beg the publishing gods! #MSWL

ATMOSPHERE! Setting that feels like a character is a huge hook for me. I'm on the hunt for contained settings (like boarding schools, small island towns), quirky small towns, and stories with a strong sense of regionality. #MSWL

HUMOROUS VOICES! A lot of the contemporary I read and acquire has a witty/ funny narrator, and an author with a gift for humor (see: Cece in @SoniaHartl1's HAVE A LITTLE FAITH IN ME). Please, please send me your funny books! #MSWL

Agents! I'm putting a HIGH priority on YA contemporary realism in my inbox right now! My tastes are more picky in realism than they are in spec-fic, so here's a list of what I'm really drawn to in this broad category... #MSWL

I need a book that makes me feel the way fall does (#mswl?)

This. Agents, please send me work by Black Latinx authors. Not just this month but all year round. #mswl

OK, new #MSWL: @RosanneParry's A WHALE OF THE WILD, but revengier.

One of my summer goals was to make a website, and I finally did it: carolinaiortiz.com! Check out my deal announcements and updated #mswl 🧐 And agents, if it's been a while since we've chatted, I'm always happy to reconnect, as well as meet new agents 👀

My #MSWL went live today! Feel free to check it out at manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/whit… if you're curious about more things that I'm interested in seeing for graphic novel pitches!

Make it SFF & send my way!! #MSWL

Same. #MSWL (see thread) (Agented only)
