It's been a bit since I did some #MSWL tweets. Here's some information about what I'd love to see in my queries in-box these days. I'll be adding to this in the run-up to the @UpstartCrowLit #AskUpstart session coming up next Tuesday, so stay tuned!I'm really looking for stories -- for every age group -- that center marginalized voices and are intersectional. #MSWL

Junior prom.My “boyfriend” took another girl, so I went solo in this $6 brocade vintage number and then won prom queen.
I swayed alone during the royalty dance, ate my weight in brownies, then went home early. #YAGoesToProm pic.twitter.com/FOqnHSUT19

@MelissaLaurenE @AlisonFargis #extra wood paneling, wrist corsage. I did love a good tan. F'Coppertone. Baby oil 4EVRBaby oil 4EVR should be the title of a YA novel set in the 70s. Another #mswl FTW!!!

Queer books can be light and funny and still be important. Queer books don't have to focus on queer pain to matter.Yes. I'd love to see more of these stories! (#MSWL)

Now I want a #YAGoesToProm story where crazy stuff happens. It can be fun, ridiculous, and lighthearted OR dark if it makes sense. #mswl

In commemoration of the 51st anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination this week, I’d love to see more kids books that preserve his incredible legacy. #socialjustice, nonfiction #activism that inspires kids of all ages. #WishlistWednesday #MSWL

Also - very interested if anyone has a fun, bouncy ‘spy cats/sloths/cows/othe-fun-animal’ kind of an idea! But funny talking animals please, definitely NOT cute or heart-wrenching animal stories for me! I get too upset! (P.S.I know. I’m a wuss!)
