Have you read WORDS ON BATHROOM WALLS? A journal to the main character's therapist had me hooked from the first page! I love when author's really think about structure and PoV. Letters and journals can be so revealing. 💌 #MSWL

#MSWL Common tropes with a fresh twist--falling for your best friend, enemies to lovers, etc. Take something cliche, and subvert it, or make it new.

YA that takes a nuanced look at abortion and/or consent from a unique lens and/or high concept setup #mswl

Looking for BIPOC and white LGBTQ+ contemporary and fantasy authors with strong hooks in the query and an uplifting vibe. YA and MG alike. Graphic novels too, please! #MSWL

A fun MG centered around a place a la Mr. Lemoncello's Library or The 13th Story Treehouse #mswl

Paranormal, please! Friends, I blew through the TWILIGHT books SO quickly when they came out. And I think that vampires are making a comeback, and this is a hill I will die on. #YA #MSWL

Additionally, give me body diversity in all genres! I love stories that are not centered on bodies; characters can fall in love, save the world, and do anything in every size and shape! #YA #MSWL

#MSWL how-to guides for the fragile future, books by and for the next generation of activists, Native voices, manifestos, anti-capitalist business books?

Finally, I am always looking for inclusive storytelling. LGBTQIA+ characters, less explored mythologies, SFF from authors of color, neurodivergence. #MSWL

Reincarnated champions a la Legend of Zelda. I want the adventure, but also the struggle with the legacy. What does it MEAN to be under that kind of generational pressure? #MSWL
