#MSWL children's chapter books ages 7-9 (with a series in mind), very boy- or girl-centric. For Boys: Maybe something about a boy who considers himself a "Bugologist" & shrinks down to bug size to go on adventures. For girls: A story about a magical doll house that comes to life?

After a discussion about hummus yesterday that led me to use the phrase "hummus in my tummus" I'm really wanting to see picture books with playful words like this. #mswl

#mswl I'm still looking for my Donner Party retelling! I think would YA would be kick-ass, but adult Donner Party retellings are also 💯.

#mswl I'd love to see a wildfire story. I'm equal opportunity on the setting -- campers/hikers? Surburanites? I want to see survival and moving on. Also, I'm from CA, so wildfires affecting urban settings is something I'm used to seeing (alas).

I really want to work on a darkly humorous Baba Yaga story. That’s all I ask. #MSWL

I absolutely believe you can write deep, thoughtful sci-fi and fantasy with lovable characters and a happy ending. Exhibit 1: Terry Pratchett. #mswl

Real life is stranger than #fiction. Here's an example of #TrueCrime and #thriller that I’d love to see! #MSWL - Woman accused of poisoning lookalike with cheesecake, stealing her identity - Fox News apple.news/AmFKIp4-1TpCf7…

It's the first day of #MSWL Madness at BookEnds. Bring me a domestic suspense about a mom having a meltdown--publicly or privately. Think Big Little Lies with more meltdowns. #MSWLMadness

“Fun, joyful YA about teens from marginalized groups out there having hijinks, falling in love, getting spells wrong, etc.” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Wait. What. These exist?! Who is coming with me? On a related note, give me all your vampires #MSWL Who cares if it’s supposedly dead...isn’t that the point of vampires anyway 😊

Adorkable! #MSWL

Speaking of this, are there any manuscripts out there with deaf protagonists? I'd really love to see more deaf characters and help bridge the communication gap between languages without making anyone deaf feel isolated. 💔 #MSWL

A thriller similar to A Quiet Place! It's so different, and I'd love it if I can find someone who could write an extremely well done book without the option of speaking or making sound. #MSWL

A new take on fantasy with steampunk elements or even gas lamp fantasy. Any takers? I'm open to all suggestions here! #MSWL

YA Fantasy involving a twisted circus ring leader and the people who are stuck performing underneath him. Give me darkness, witches, chained magic, and all the evil. ❤️ #MSWL

MG Contemporary about a young girl in space camp who wants to beat all the boys to the moon. #MSWL

YA Historical everything, though my focus is still looking for that Ruby from Cold Mountain in colonial times on her own. #MSWL
