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

I also want to see war history from a different perspective—show me a new POV on a major historical event or a side of WWII history we rarely hear about #MSWL

#MSWL: #ownvoices #MG or #YA protagonists with chronic illness, pain, and/or a disability in a story not focused on that, and where no one dies--it's just a part of life. This kind of rep is important to me & I rarely see it in subs or published books.Same! This has been on my #MSWL for a while.

In that vein, are you my dream combo of writer & illustrator/designer with a curious streak? I want to talk about topics that are interesting to both of us and how we can shape them together! #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

Reminder on #mswl day: Almost no one's MSWL is 100% comprehensive, so don't be discouraged if agents or editors don't say they're looking for your exact premise. Just because they want A, B, C, and D, doesn't mean they DON'T want E (unless they say "I don't want E.").The purpose of #MSWL is to give writers an idea of the *kinds* of books we’re looking for. If your ms has a similar tone, theme, genre, etc., then that agent/editor might love your story too. #MSWL tweets are examples, not the only things we want.

Okay, last one. A nonfic book on the intersection between music and politics #MSWLhello yes please I am desperate for intersectional music books. #MSWL

I love a good anti-hero story. I'm OBSESSED with Klaus from The Originals. Give me that. #MSWL
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 24 Sep 2019
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
Natascha Morris @SoCalledYALife · 24 Sep 2019
#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!
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 24 Sep 2019
A realistic MG ensemble story—a contemporary The View from Saturday. #MSWL
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 24 Sep 2019
A MG light fantasy with the depth of character and heart of Steven Universe. #MSWL
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · 24 Sep 2019
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
