#mswl #ya #parkour non-dude protagonist, please! I want to read about non-super-hero teen girls running up buildings.

If someone wrote a YA story about two teens meeting through the Pokemon Go App and falling in love, I'd read it! #mswl

Non-fic that focuses on pop culture, geekery, and/or teaches readers about the odd & unique. @ericsmithrocks #MSWL bit.ly/1dbOPj8

#MSWL a MG/YA about the destruction of the Rondo neighborhood in STP—or a similar historically black neighborhood

"Modern-day Sweet Valley Twins series. I want the life of a female middle schooler in print." @MsMariaVicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Young girls interested in STEM fields, both fiction and nonfiction!" @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I've said it before, but I really want a gymnastics ms. I want the anxiety I feel when I watch the bars! All gymnastics, all the time. #MSWL

Shameless as YA #mswl

<3 this thread. I'd love to see more "hero" tales that deal with the nuances of bad decisions, hurt bystanders #MSWL

#MSWL YA Fantasy with kickass female main character a la Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, Rae Carson or Alex Bracken.

"Non-fiction like Matthew Crawford's SHOP CLASS AS SOULCRAFT." @curtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This, fictionalized as MG, #MSWL: THE COLD WAR: Two ice cream vendors. Seventeen playgrounds. One city. epicmagazine.com/the-cold-war via @epic

#MSWL just because I'm looking for books geared towards boys, that doesn't mean I don't want female protagonists.

Novels in verse are generally more appropriate for @LEEandLOW in MG. For YA, that's us, as long as it's fiction. #MSWL

Some YA fantasy has been known to go over 100k, but generally we look for less than 90k because usually it's stronger shorter. #MSWL

Generally, middle grade books should be more than 40k words long. YA books should be more than 50k. Over 100k, you should question it. #MSWL

Please also note that we are not interested in anthropomorphic animal stories at this time. We seek *human* diversity. #MSWL
