Others' MSWL | MsWishList

· 12 Sep 2018

Just realized it's #MSWL day. I've tweeted occasional MSWLs whenever they've come up, so feel free to search my history, but here's the gist of what I'm looking for:

All books must star IPOC
I only publish MG and YA fiction & graphic novels (see exceptions below)

The team is only months away from launching the first @TheOceanCleanup system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Here’s how it works: theoceancleanup.com/technology/ pic.twitter.com/5QYoGBGRoK

When I've been telling agents I want to see positive climate sci-fi I mean stories talking about tech like this #mswl

Quressa "Tryna be the Beyanna of Agents" Robinson @qnrisawesome

Speaking of Shakespeare, wouldn't mind seeing a modern take on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING or MIDSUMMERS NIGHT'S DREAM in a YA contemporary or YA/Adult Fantasy.

Much Ado about Nothing has been my favorite Shakespeare since the 4th grade. I wonder what it would look like set in a high school. Definitely a #MSWL. Must star IPOC.

A modern queer take on Ten Things I Hate About You. Preferably wlw twitter.com/YA_Pride/statu…

And by "modern" I mean set today, not during the 90s #mswl

Okay, so #mswl based on a friend's post about deBeers diamond cartel: Teens from African nations most affected by blood diamond trade, "wherein Our Heroes conspire to rob de Beers--not for the money, just to take down the cartel." Robin Hood meets Oceans Eleven for teens.

Yo, fab #DVpit writers pitching their books today, BEST OF LUCK! Was totally blown away by y/day's YA pitches. Evidence that diverse books are out there - we in publishing just need to be looking harder! #weneeddiversebooks

If you want to submit to me, guidelines in thread 👇🏾 pic.twitter.com/hv2FANStSD

#querytip alert! Gripping adult fic is MY JAM. Love a tense psych thriller, domestic noir, and have room for the right police procedural. As ever, I'm yearning for exciting fantasy projects and swoon-worthy romance. #DVpit #MSWL

Tu Books @tubooks

Seriously, writers: if you can write this, this is a serious #MSWL. Must be either MG or YA, could be graphic novel or novel. Or even nonfiction, if you want to tackle the real-world facts of this. #submissions #amwriting #YAlit #MGlit twitter.com/AmazonChique/s…

Totally serious. Preferably POC writers from related cultures. #MSWL

S.I. Rosenbaum @sirosenbaum

@RoanhorseBex Every time one of these books shows up, I think about the fantasy novels and alt.history books that could be written from a Native POV. There's so much space there. And instead we get this.

Replying to @sirosenbaum

FYI, #MSWL re: the good stuff you're talking about, for MG and YA.

MG
YA

There are all kinds of Latinos in the real world, and there should be kinds of Latinos in sf. All of us should be represented, and faithfully so. — Isabel Schechter #FantasticLatinas #NeverthelessShePersisted #WomensHistoryMonth

#MSWL: MG SFF, contemporary realism, and historical fiction featuring Latinx kids from Central and South America and/or American kids whose heritage is from those areas. It's a big gap in children's lit and my list specifically.
