And my incredibly specific #MSWL: I would love to see a middle grade adventure that pulls off the tone, historical tie-ins, friendship drama, mystery, and overall excitement/escalation of NATIONAL TREASURE.

Also on my #MSWL is family drama, stories with secrets, with sisters or friends. If you compare yourself to Celeste Ng, I want to see your work.

In addition to this, my favorite Romance tropes are best friends to lovers; enemies to lovers; we're stuck together and you drive me crazy, but I guess I love you trope; unrequitted lover who finds a better fit trope, and forbidden love that becomes a HEA trope. <3 #MSWL

Wholeheartedly agreed. #MSWL

as a gal with many straight, strictly platonic, male best friends, I would love to see more of that in both YA and Adult #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day!

I would love to a funny and uplifting friendship break-up / make-up story, or a fraught and complicated friend break-up story (perhaps a thriller?). #MG, #YA, #Adult Surprise me! #MSWL

For my wish list + more about me, see:

Jumping on the bandwagon to say: I would love to see more fun, upbeat middle grade focusing on siblings, friendship, crushes, and/or that silly joy of tween schemes. Show me failed matchmaking, plotting that got out of hand, the awkwardness of a friend-breakup. #MSWL

#MSWL Middle grade group of friends who have to go on a mission--like ATLA, Stranger Things, The Sandlot, The Goonies, etc.

#MSWL Women's fiction about female friendship.

Millennial friendship novels! #mswl

In all ages and genres I am seriously hoping to see more books starring mc's with disabilities. #ownvoices especially encouraged. I want to see stories that show the full range of life and experiences--joy, accomplishments, ambition, sadness, friendship, love. #MSWL

MG that thrills me. Bring me action, friendship, magic, fast-pace and fierce characters #mswl

#MSWL A book about a group of female friends in the vein of THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS--but modern.

My bizarre fascination with these girl scammer stories—and the toxic friendships they rely on—means I’m craving a fiction YA (and age-appropriate) retelling! #MSWL

...if anyone’s got a YA about toxic female friendships... #MSWL

#mswl but not really ms...because this is a wordless picture book

I am still on the hunt for this project! If you have a book like this, please send it my way! Would love to see some amount of queerness in this story, too. #MSWL
