I'd love to see high-concept, character-driven, accessible SF. #mswl

Ooh another #MSWL - give me a spooky MG story that gives me chills but not nightmares! 👻😱 Open to a wide range from spoopy to creepy and from realistic to supernatural!

My number 1 #MSWL wish is for general nonfiction that teaches while it entertains. Have an obsession? Teach me about something I don't know!Common winners: Creepy history, unsolved mysteries, common science topics with a twist (Space + X; STEM + X), folklore
Hello. I didn't even realize I need this. #MSWL

I love a good anti-hero story. I'm OBSESSED with Klaus from The Originals. Give me that. #MSWL

This is a huge ask, but something I think about often: 100 Years of Solitude, but about a family from a marginalized community in the South. A multi-generational saga with magic realism. (Who knows; someone might be writing this!) #MSWL

Really in the mood for something weird and beautifully written right now. Give me your Wilder Girls, your Annihilations, your twisting, bizarre horror, your incredibly human science fiction. Give me your wildest words. #MSWLIs it an #MSWL cheat to simply say "what @HannahFergesen said" ??👇👇👇

Of course, I'm dying for any MG that gives me The Halloween Tree vibes right now. (Even though there's something in my inbox right now that might scratch that itch... 😈 but send it to me anyway.) #MSWL

#MSWL for PBs here: narrative non-fiction, that is NOT biographies. Think SKULLS by Blair Thornburgh, or PEOPLE DON'T BITE PEOPLE by Lisa Wheeler. Give me interesting perspectives and facts and knowledge!

A realistic MG ensemble story—a contemporary The View from Saturday. #MSWL

I want to see YA or adult horror/spec fic that's deeply rooted in character (We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Baby Teeth). A lyrical spec fic like The Dreamers. I am forever dying for something you could comp to Never Let Me Go. #MSWL

#MSWL Women's fiction about female friendship.

An engaging adult nonfiction project about a historical figure(s) whose story hasn't been told. (Same goes for a picture book bio.) My dream would be an adult bio with a science component, like The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. #MSWL

Some more #MSWL - I love me a good classic-feeling, whimsical MG fantasy adventure!

Hopping on the #MSWL train to say send me all of your atmospheric YA escapism projects!!
