🙋🏼🙋🏼🙋🏼 #MSWL & watch for THE WIND CALLED MY NAME and ALL THE STARS DENIED from @tubooks this fall!

#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.

#MSWL children's chapter books ages 7-9 (with a series in mind), very boy- or girl-centric. For Boys: Maybe something about a boy who considers himself a "Bugologist" & shrinks down to bug size to go on adventures. For girls: A story about a magical doll house that comes to life?

writing for young readers is incredibly hard. i can't imagine a talent more awe-inspiring than the ability to tell stories with imagination and restraint and warmth and grace to children whose lives you have the power to change forever. #mswl

Late to the party (story of my life), but so happy to join excellent company with #MSWL! Thanks, @ManuscriptWList manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/cind…

Stories that challenge children to think critically about things without being prescriptive or instructive. #MSWL

Basically I'm still looking for all my old #MSWL requests: Victorian era; evil children; remote places; noir; unreliable narrators, etc.

A couple of #MSWL before I head off to bed for the night: Always at the top of my list is children's nonfiction, MG and YA in particular.

I would LOVE a Children's or MG story inspired by this: #MSWL mashable.com/2017/08/17/gir… via @mashable

I don't know if I can make the case that this belongs in a children's imprint. But... #mswl

I love books about evil children and how they make a parent question themselves, like WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN. #MSWL

#MSWL I'd love to see more enchanting beautifully crafted children's books, with humour

Women in agriculture related (adult fiction or STEM children's fic. or nonfiction). #mswl

Children's fiction and non-fiction with #STEM tie in #MSWL jdlit.com/marie-lamba #kidlit #yalit

Nonfiction (for adult or children): geeky things, pop culture obsessions, science, history of a thing, lifestyle for millennials. #MSWL

CORALINE, and THE WITCHES are super disturbing children's horror. Give me something in that vein. #MSWL
