And when it comes to YA, I love just about everything.

But I'm really eager to find more diverse SFF novels and LGBTQ+ stories... books that make marginalized teens feel SEEN, not just in the now, but in far flung futures and lushly imagined fantasy worlds. #MSWL

I also really want to find more accessible, devour-able sci-fi and fantasy novels.

Some of my favorites include @KatWithSword @fran_wilde and @ChuckWendig.

@SChakrabs wrote my favorite SFF novel of 2017. #MSWL

When it comes to memoir and essays, I want to laugh, cry, and think about life.

Writers who did that to me last year? @readandbreathe @ilanaslightly @oureric @nicole_soojung @MorganJerkins @brandonlgtaylor.

If you write like them, please say hello. #MSWL

If you can describe your novel as having a commercial premise with a literary execution, send it my way. #mswl

I love horror, but not overly-supernatural. I prefer reality-based scares. #mswl

Anything set in the arts/theater (drama/dance/symphony/opera) will bring my inner drama club kid such joy. #mswl
