So anyways, I’m definitely looking for queer as heck MG/YA (and especially by BIPOC) #MSWL

· Mar 5

Some things I am looking for:
- YA RomCom (or adult) with a diverse cast and smart topics.
- MG/YA nonfiction
- LGBTQ+ nonfiction
- Graphic novels in pretty much anything on my wishlist
- #LGBTQIA+ characters in everything.
- Body diversity
- Underrepresented voices

One day I will read a book with a fat character who exercises because she likes it with no intention to lose weight and not because she’s being forced and I will raise my hands to the heavens in delight

I’ve toyed with the idea of writing a Grateful Dead picture book for years but can’t figure a way into the story without mentioning drugs so... Someone else might have a good idea though so I guess I should tag it with a #mswl ✌🏼❤️😊💀

Cults of personality.

Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

Sirens Conference @sirens_con

Question Eight:

What’s an under-used villain trope, or a trope usually attached to male villains, that you’d like to see explored with female and nonbinary villains?

A YA contemporary that fits on the shelf with FOOLISH HEARTS and LOVE FROM A to Z and WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI and ALWAYS NEVER YOURS and WILD BLUE WONDER, but make it queer. 🏳️‍🌈✨🙏🏻 #MSWL

Shira Schindel @Shiras24

@leslie_zampetti These ideas are awesome (I'd SO love to read them!), and also, I've yet to see a mainstream YA romance with two MO characters, or Conservative characters, or really almost anything mainstream without a bar/bat mitzvah, inter-faith relationship, or the Holocaust.

Replying to @Shiras24

I know! Maybe you’re writing something? 😉

I’d love to see contemporary Jewish YA without the b’nei mitzvot or Holocaust or even anti-Semitism. I am up for inter-faith relationships tho - if done in a fresh way. 😊 #MSWL

#MSWL Contemporary Jewish romance! What about a cute rabbi who falls in ❤️ with her cantor? Modern orthodox man falls in ❤️ with a Reform fella? Anyone? Anyone?

Clocking in at 29.35 seconds, P!NK and Jennifer Crank became the 2020 Masters Agility Champions. Do you think you could keep up? pic.twitter.com/XpNboI7Nbs

I want the MG or YA book about a junior handler in dog shows.

My family comes from the dog show world, so it's near and dear to my heart. #MSWL

Oh, to be attending the annual festival celebrating the founding of a small seaside fishing town amidst reports of local swimmers going missing, and strange creatures being seen on the nearby beach at midnight

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
