You know what I’m interested in? Strong queens. I’ve been seeing a lot of heirs to the throne, but I’d like to see a strong queen who’s taking over/ruling in a difficult time. Bonus points if she’s rules with an iron fist! #mswl pic.twitter.com/mirEnxK0t9This also includes a queen that goes after what she wants and won’t tolerate being walked over! A queen that runs a tight ship. #mswl

Give me coming of age movies where black girls get to be horrible and funny like in LADY BIRD or where they get to be weird and funny like in BOOKSMART or where they get to be cute and fall in love like in TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFOREKerstin Wolf @Kerstin_Wolf · Mar 15

#mswl - a sweeping middle grade series with heart and humor! Related, but more specifically: a middle grade series with puzzle-y elements. And, always, middle grade with magic, especially cozy magic!“Cozy magic” is my new eternal wish list item. EXTREME bonus points if I get a magical school with it. #mswl

I want to go on a Survivor/Naked and Afraid style trip that is set up like an Escape Room. Meaning you are dropped on a deserted beach and the object is to see how long you can last before you give up and they take you to the resort for the rest of your stay. 1/2Because my hubby thinks he can do better than these survivalists (despite having a major aversion to being cold and/or wet and/or hungry) and I'd love to see him try. Like Castaway, but as a vacation.
Also, why not, let's #mswl that.

One of the things good gothic fantasy & claustrophobic scary spaceship stories have in common is that they both do setting-as-character well.Really, any setting can be made to feel like a character. Creepy castle? Floating city? Jungle that *devours* people? YES.

Absolutely a #MSWL for me, as well! Send these to me so I can send them to @Sarah_Guan :)

Middle grade animal (or animal-adjacent...) (light) fantasy, because I still desperately need something to fill the Wild Robot-shaped hole in my heart. 🤖💖 #mswl

the teeeeeeens are at it agaiiiiiiin theatlantic.com/technology/arc… pic.twitter.com/eKRyLCWTzA#MSWL These are the kinds of details that build a convincing, contemporary YA world. Teens are intertwined with digital communication, and they're secretive, which means they're going to figure this shit out on their own. So much to mine! Write it true.

If you have middle grade or YA project that feels like #OneDayAtATime with all of that amazing diverse representation, please send it my way. I’ll need to fill the hole created by its cancellation. #mswl

All of this~! Settngs are super important to me and often times one of the reasons I'm drawn to a project. Please send all the amazing setting-as-character books to me so I can sell them to @Sarah_Guan ;) #MSWL

I need more books that use settings *as* characters as well. I love living histories! Places can d/evolve and have arcs of their own. Stories can happen *to* and not just *in* them. And exploring that doesn't have to be pigeonholed as worldbuilding alone.One of the things good gothic fantasy & claustrophobic scary spaceship stories have in common is that they both do setting-as-character well.

This will come as no surprise to my Twitter followers, given the inexplicably high volume of raccoon videos I retweet: I want/need a picture book about raccoons. #MSWL

Just saw the phenomenal (and hilarious!) @crucet read from Make Your Home Among Strangers and am reminded that we need more novels about first-in-family navigating college, especially from poc voices #MSWLPutting this out into the universe again. I would love to see more novels about POC navigating a college campus #mswl
