In light of the continuing clusterf*ck in the book world, popping up on your feed to casually mention1) I'm one of the handful of QWOC editors at a Big 5
2) I'm in a buying mood for more SF/F/H for adult YA & MG
3) My list is majority queer and POC authors. And I'd love more.
I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:
For young adult:
M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation
a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).
a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

SNOW WHITE >> FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS @juliecdaoBEAUTY AND THE BEAST >> IN THE VANISHER’S PALACE @aliettedb
ROMEO & JULIET >> STREET LOVE by Walter Dean Myers (RIP, I had to include this one)
There are so many more! You could fill a whole display and then some!
Since we’re here: I’d love to acquire some diverse speculative retellings of classic novels and myths by marginalized writers for @ErewhonBooks!

Publishers Weekly @PublishersWkly
Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue to launch sales of classic novels with new covers promoting diversity @amNewYork pwne.ws/2GU1jN2 pic.twitter.com/uNPbP3LJcMThis is wildly wrongheaded. In light of this, I’d be really happy to see MG BIPOC twists on THE WIZARD OF OZ & THE SECRET GARDEN in my query box. #MSWL

Can I get retellings of public domain books by POC authors? I'd love to see more of that in my box. ❤ #mswl

I would very much love to see a non-white author reimagine The Secret Garden for today’s middle grade readers. #mswl

I got my hair cut today and there was a tiny, precious 4-year-old boy getting his hair cut at the station next to me. Stylist said he keeps a stuffed animal around for the boys because the clippers scare them.🥺
Long story short, I NEED to rep a "first hair cut" PB.💈#MSWL

Just putting this out there. I’d love to take on a literary YA author this year. Think @JasonReynolds83 meets @nina_lacour , or something totally different! Just as long the story is beautiful and fresh and MATTERS. #mswl

If somebody wanted to write an Utena-style pseudo-contemporary diverse fantasy with sword-fighting, butch and femme queer girls, and colorful, floral imagery, and then have their agent sub it to me, I wouldn't be upset. I'm just sayin'. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/SwBm0qMz5YThis is still #MSWL!

Must a book have plot? Is it not enough for two mortal enemies to have to attend the same ball, dressed in their finest, to dance with each other, only half-unwilling?—if you'll land a blade in their heart later, why not simply hold them now, too close and too gentle?I mean. Eternal #mswl
