Oh and of course anything and everything here:

Writing that's sharp and biting, or writing that's lyrically astounding. Is there a touch of magic? A heap? Yes, I want it.

And I want all of it to be BIPOC and/or queer.

I'd really love to laugh, like a book about a bunch of aunties the rest of the community thinks are well past their prime--and I want to see them as full, gossipy, pushy people; what do they want? (And we return to BANDIT QUEENS!)

I want a mystery that characters wish they hadn't solved. A mystery that isn't about the mystery, really, at all, but about the people--the kind of ending that feels inevitable, like putting these people in that room at once--well, nothing else could have happened.

give me Heathcliff, give me the lover that has so misunderstood what love is that they perform deeds that leave them bloody. Give me a love that has soured and make me yearn for it anyways. I want more hauntings, more ghost stories.

Give me Practical Magic, I'm begging you.

entirely missed #mswl day--but in truth every day is MSWL day! I'm yearning for smart, irreverent fiction with true heart that dives into more than one voice: always dreaming of PORTRAIT OF A THIEF (@gracedli 👀) and THE BANDIT QUEENS. Give me a doomed, impossible love story...

Extremely niche #MSWL: a supernatural deep sea horror about the 'Julia' sound, iykyk

if anyone happens to have one of those exact projects filed away in a drawer somewhere 😆 please send it my way! submission guidelines are in my pinned tweet

5. YA historical fiction about teens involved in labor activism movements (like a fictionalized eliseo medina in the delano grape strike)

4. books about the dynamics of friendship groups—I’d love something YA or MG with the feel of NOW & THEN, but more diverse (Celia Pérez’ STRANGE BIRDS does this really well, eg)

3. tear-jerkers! I don’t love when trauma is deployed gratuitously (i hated that one aesthetics-of-🏳️‍🌈-suffering adult novel ppl argue about 👀), but that doesn’t mean I’m anti issues books! craving a hefty drama like ALL MY RAGE/WE DESERVE MONUMENTS/THE ASTONISHING COLOR OF AFTER

2. something like SLIDING DOORS but funny! (or perhaps what i’m wishing for is a YA or MG EEAAO). the two roads/what if thing is usually deployed in the context of loss or tragedy, but I’d devour a story where someone’s universe is split over something absurd

1. girls and nb folx who skate! does anyone else miss BETTY on hbo? I was gutted when it was canceled and keep thinking I’d love a bipoc YA or upper MG BETTY, a book about the challenges of hanging at the skate park as not-a-cis-guy 🛹

apparently it’s #mswl day! you can find my (too long and overly detailed) MSWL profile at the link below, but I thought in honor of the day, I’d do a list of five very specific things I’d love to work on…

It's #mswl day!

I've been at @groveatlantic for nearly 10 months (😱) and I've been lucky to acquire some dream projects... but I'm not done!

I'm still looking for crime fiction/thrillers from authors looking to write a book every year(ish).
