#MSWL A YA like Jane the Virgin in that it follows a tight-knit multi generational family, diverse cast of characters, warm & full of heart

#MSWL YA stories about young WoC but no love triangles! Novels about 'old' and 'middle age' women that have nothing to do with marriage!

It's a subtle but important difference. Adding diverse characters to ms is important, I want to see books from writers who've LIVED it #MSWL

I've said many times that I want diverse books in my #MSWL, but I want to adjust that slightly—what I *really* want is to find #ownvoices.

I'd love diverse representation that is not presented as "issue books"--just queer, POC, & differently-abled people doing stuff. #MSWL
