So much potential for stories we don't see in MG/YA. Just as we see Jewish, Catholic, Evangelical POVs, we need Mormon POVs. #MSWL

The predominant language spoken in the LDS Church is Spanish. I would love to see a #YA starring a South American LDS teen #MSWL

Generally when I see pitches for Mormon protagonists, they're always white. Writer friends, I want to see this change. #MSWL

TL;DR - I want innovative SFF and will run around the country looking for it this fall. Check out my #MSWL & look forward to seeing you

And, bears repeating (as I say in my #MSWL profile): "I’m especially interested in supporting marginalized writers." Don't self-reject

I want compelling, compassionate science fiction stories that make me laugh 3 times for every scene that makes me cry. SFF with heart #MSWL

I want hard science fiction society that explores the boundaries of what we can do now, 50 years from now, 100 years from now #MSWL

I want science I can believe in my stories. Science that gives me hope. That empowers the downtrodden. That creates lasting change #MSWL

I want nature overcoming humanity things. Creepy watching-you-in-the-swamps-Jeff-Vandermeer-level nature things. #MSWL

I want weird science. Like Gravity Falls weird science. Like Oingo Boingo weird science. #MSWL

Kooky space adventures = good. Things where POC/QPOC exist in the future = better. All that + The Fifth Element = BEST #MSWL

But some things I want to stress: maor science fiction. Optimistic, fun science fiction for adult and YA readers #MSWL

I am actively looking for Latinx books that bring other perspectives to the table. #MSWL #NewVisionsAward

#MSWL Any of my #NewVisionsAward entrants going to be a historical fiction/thriller about this amazing woman? Maybe from teen helper POV?

Same #mswl witch activists fighting racism

#MSWL this

And what that complexity looks like is broad and deep. #MSWL

So when I say I want institutional appeal in my #MSWL, you can write an epic fantasy with institutional appeal. It just needs to be complex.

Teachers can directly pair SUMMER OF THE MARIPOSAS with THE ODYSSEY in a classroom setting. #MSWL

When looking at MG/YA fiction, that means what about the story sparks discussion? #MSWL
