Would love to find a #YA with #magicalrealism ala The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. #friendshipstories #MSWL

Would love a voice-driven contemporary #YA rom com (frenemies to lovers, anyone?) #MSWL

#MSWL! I don’t know what genre this would be, and I frankly don’t care.

Yep, I’m still looking for a #historical #YA take on Outlander (or any historical time travel premise). #MSWL

Agents—My new year’s resolution is to acquire a voice-driven #MG (I like contemporary and magical realism!) #MSWL

Would love to find a feel-good #YA version of #Friends, shenanigans and all. #MSWL (agented submissions only, please)

mostly this entire thread that is rapidly getting out of hand with publisher duels & puppies but also a genuine #mswl for the general concept of an old school auntie vampire hunter—if we can have 25 van helsing adaptations we can have 25 of this!

Just drank a pot of coffee and binged the entire season of Derry Girls (which was fantastic), and now I want a book about teens being teens against a backdrop of political conflict #mswl

Writers, agents: I would REALLY like a quality biographical #ownvoices picture-book MS about Bayard Rustin -- one that honors his integrity & complexity. Hook me up in 2019? #MSWL npr.org/2019/01/06/682…

#MSWL

selfishly expanding this into a #mswl for adult SFF that hits that Dead Like Me sweet spot of charming sardonic & reserved w/a deep undercurrent of heartbreak & stunning empathy that will break into the main storyline without warning. high concept but make it lump in your throat

HI HELLO #MSWL

Today @jcon713 told @Jorjorbiinks and I that we were dressed like two Victorian women out to solve a murder, which A) is how I would like my clothing aesthetic to be described forevermore, and B) Uhhhhh... #MSWL

Big #MSWL on this.

(agent #mswl continued)
-memoirs or close narrative nonfiction showcasing underrepresented experiences and unique perspectives
-middle grade contemporary with a Judy Blume vibe (fin, for now!)

(Agent novel and nonfic #mswl continued)
-Stories that show what it is to be part of multiple communities, (bonus pts for dating misadventures)
-a coming of age memoir that reads like Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han, or Nina LaCour (2/3)

Agent friends, my #mswl is overflowing! Please think of me in 2019 for exciting new:
-memoirs that bring to mind a YA Educated—delving deep into an author’s journey through and/or out of an insular community
-illustrated or graphic novel middle grade nonfiction or memoir (1/3)

Two #MSWL thoughts from over the weekend: I'd love to see the joy & playfulness & heart & smarts of shows like Jane the Virgin and The Good Place captured in book form for MG and/or YA.

Starting 2019 with this #MSWL: I will drop everything to read a fresh, inclusive Urban Fantasy! Give me a city with magic woven into each building and street!

This is a big #MSWL mood for me in 2019! Let’s have some warmth, hope, and good genuine fun.
