How to make a character sympathetic

1. Moral code
2. Active selflessness/other-orientation
3. Victim of injustice/underdog

Totally not the only way to make a character sympathetic, but a GREAT way, and one that I am especially keen on #mswl

Romantic suspense that fits these guidelines. #MSWL

I'm a sucker for gorgeous prose that sucks me in and makes me forget what time it is/where I am/that the stove is on. #MSWL

Literally missing my stop or connection on the subway, not being able to put the book down while walking... #MSWL

And by "Santa," I mean agents. HELLO, FRIENDS. #MSWL

ellen @ellencormier

Literary historical fiction (YA or MG) about the misogynist persecution of midwives, esp re: accusations of witchcraft. #MSWL

Laura Zats @LZats

YA where the parents are like, real characters. Not dead. Not absent. But there and actually parents #MSWL

YES, and: a YA about a fraught mother/daughter relationship. #MSWL

Tiffany Liao @Tiff_Liao

#mswl MG a la PAN'S LABYRINTH--layered fairytale that doesn't flinch from reality, finds the light in the darkness. Fascist stomping a plus.

For #MSWL, still looking for this MG fantasy to crack my heart open! And maybe stomp fascists.

I talk a lot about wanting LGBTQ YA—but lately I'm really dying for an LGBTQ middle grade! Self-discovery, first crushes, family! #MSWL

Sarah Guan @Sarah_Guan

#MSWL: #SFF political systems that AREN'T absolute monarchies. I want parliamentary debates, legislative battles, theocracies, courtrooms...

Replying to @Sarah_Guan

#MSWL: Complex/found families. Interpersonal dynamics between powerful ppl that—often unintentionally—shape the communities around them #SFF

I'd love to see a book that juices up otherwise "boring" topics with workbook-style prompts or art. Personal finance maybe? #MSWL
