#MSWL for the new year pt 4: light fantasy or contemporary stories with magical elements, especially if they have quieter stakes.
Not saving the world but instead asking someone out or fixing a fight with a friend.

This time every year I wonder why we don't have a YA retelling of the Christmas story (Mary, Joseph, etc): the characters are the right age, the conflict is strong and, depending on your beliefs, it could be read as miracle or magic a la GRAVE MERCY. Hard to pull off, but...#MSWL

@ReadingReganW I'm kidding, it wasn't an illustrator, it was a gal who wanted to open her own bookshop, but now I'm going to make her an amateur illustrator too.This makes me think of You’ve Got Mail in the best possible way. I need this on my #mswl right now

Now feels like a good time to mention that I am very interested in your messy and complicated villains and also characters who seem like the villain but are actually *coughs* the love interest #MSWL

#MSWL for the new year pt 3: stories from trans and nonbinary writers.
Your words matter and I want to help them get out into the world. ❤

I want more fantasy where the stakes are not the entire world, but just, like, this one street corner or house. One friendship. You don't have the shake the pillars of the earth to get my attention.Personal character stakes are my JAM and what I die for in books. Forever #mswl

Would love a #NF project in 2020 by an #ownvoices author that deals with cross-cultural appropriation. #MSWL

#MSWL for the new year pt 2: feel good YA romance, especially if it's queer!
First crushes gone right, awkward pining, best friends to lovers, fake dating turned actual dating, I hate you but oh wait, we're actually similar af and I may like you.
ALL OF IT.

#MSWL for the new year: found families, best friends who don't need to say anything to communicate, friends who live together because sometimes families are difficult.

Just signed my third Steve. Don’t know how many more Steves my small list can carry. Authors not named Steve: I’m open for submissions! (Also open to Steves with extraordinarily good #nonfiction manuscripts.) #mswl #querying #literary

Her other book, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, is similarly dazzling.This is top of the list for things I’d love to see in my inbox for ‘20: sci-fi that puts the SFF elements as the backdrop for telling stories about humanity. #MSWL
For instance...
TAOM is a teen coming-of-age story—but the Earth’s rotation is slowing. In THE DREAMERS, shifting family dynamics are painted on the canvas of a town quarantined bc of a sleeping sickness.
Kind of TWILIGHT ZONE? BLACK MIRROR? THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES?
Send me this please. #MSWL

I think my favorite read of 2019 (so far) was THE DREAMERS by @KThompsonWalker. The lyrical way she writes sci-fi makes her writing feel like a song, or a dream. I haven’t stopped thinking about this hypnotic book all year.What was your favorite book you read this year?

The thing I want when I say climate fiction, eco-fiction, even more than work that imagines futures, is work that grapples with the overwhelming grief & anger, confusion, guilt, of being a person now. It's crushing, & I crave the mirror of fiction. #mswl

A kid just stuck his head out a limo window on 8th Avenue and said, “this is New York City? It’s not impressive.”Me commencing to #mswl the shit out of this.
