I’m hungry for books that that counter popular myths about immigration—US and global—with a strong personal element #mswl (2/4)
Editor
it’s Friday, a good day to let agents know that I’m open to nonfiction submissions! I’m always searching for fresh Latinx/Central American voices, immigrant writers, and undocumented/formerly undocumented folks. more specifically though… (1/4) #mswl

Now how do I get on the side of Twitter that gushes profusely about CHARMING AS A VERB by @gohomeben on the regular ??? Bc how does it not come up more??
(YA contemp, Black love (both darkskin), Black boy MC, no Black trauma focus??? Yeahhh it’s giving #mswl !!)

You know what I've been looking for for years? A book about a kid who feels the pressure of a professional ballet school. Thought of it again recently with the sad passing of Stephanie Selby, of A Very Young Dancer. #MSWL

Just gently cried my way through the end of Alice Hoffman’s The Red Garden, and I’d very much love a multi-generational MG or YA novel that lovingly explores the ties that bind us to our ancestors and our homes. And, well, a little magic never hurts ✨ #MSWL
Editor
Someone please give me a Pre-Raphaelite inspired fantasy. The yearning, the drama, unparalleled. #MSWL
Editor
Agents, I am DYING for some extra creepy MG horror! Particularly commercial stories that are short and sweet. I haven't had nearly enough nightmares lately 🙂 #MSWL

#MSWL time! I REALLY want something for Mystic Owl. Which means: 75K or under, HOT adult PNR or UF romance or Sci-fi romance. Heavy on the romance in any sub-genre of Fantasy, but with action as well. I love at least a touch of humor, especially dark. @ me w/any questions!
Editor
Agents, do you have writers who are anime nerds and super into tarot? If so, please let me know!! ✨✨

If you saw this and thought "this would make a great dystopian novel" then you better get cracking. I guarantee someone will have this done before the end of the year.theverge.com/2022/2/16/2293…
I think this is making me want a MG Stepford SERIES all the more. . . . But I need a really good twist. Surprise me. #MSWL
