I can't tell you how often I think about films like Birdbox and A Quiet Place, and how badly I want to read more novels about parents fighting for their kids and found families in apocalyptic settings.
I mean, I also DON'T want to read them, but also I do.
Send me those! #MSWL

Getting some traction for an old #mswl tweet so thought I should update with what I am actively looking for RIGHT NOW: Crime and psychological thrillers with a very, very, very clear hook, and wonderful MG - warm, funny, contemporary, magical - anything with a great voice!

Also my eternal #MSWL is a project that features horses in some unique way (LOVED Sawkill Girls and The Scorpio Races). #MG or #YA

I’ve read 3 gooey, out of this world YA romances in the past few months, chock-full of heart, hard-learned lessons & swoons. I’m SO lucky to have this job and to count myself among their numbers. YA authors are doing the work, showing healthy examples of love and I’m HERE FOR IT.THIS. THIS. THIS. #MSWL
Too often we see unhealthy/abusive relationship behaviors modeled in YA lit without having those behaviors inspected or questioned. This subsequently helps normalize those behaviors IRL. #noexcuseforabuse

On Sunday, Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” became the first film not in the English language to win an Academy Award for #BestPicture. Diversity & representation are so important in our movies and our literature, and we are always searching for new and important stories to tell! #mswl

As much as I love getting YA & MG submissions in my inbox, I'd also love to see more adult nonfiction come my way! I'm always looking for illustrated nonfiction projects, light-hearted narrative projects with a sense of humor & pop culture, pop science & humor submissions. #mswl
Molly Cusick @molly_cusick · Feb 11
A #MSWL for this rainy Tuesday: I'd really love to see some dark, sexy, boundary-pushing YA right now. Maybe it even has crossover potential!

A remake of "The Boy is Mine" but they realize the boy is trash and end up with each other
