as a gal with many straight, strictly platonic, male best friends, I would love to see more of that in both YA and Adult #MSWL

I'd also like some upmarket fiction that revolves around an event that changes a group of people. #MSWL

#mswl Something with the fun #DnD vibe of #CriticalRole or The Adventure Zone. Could be straight fantasy or a mix of game narrative and "IRL" plot about the group of gamers.

Thing I’ve noticed: my YA list skews more girl, and my MG list more boy. I’d like to balance that, but still maintaining my overarching tastes: high concept, good plots, not-issue-books, joy and exploration and fantasy (both literal and just escapism). #MSWL

On this #MSWL day I'm hoping for an adult female coming of age. Growing up as a girl is so much more complicated than as a boy, let's explore that!!On that same note, relationships between mothers and daughters always fascinate me... think The Act or Sharp Objects (minus the Munchausen by Proxy) #MSWL

If the title of your book is SO AND SO AND THE SOMETHING SOMETHING, it probably isn't right for me. Why? Because most of those books are MG, which I don't rep. Some people will mis-categorize these books as YA, but when I read it, it's usually a younger voice. #MSWLAlso, those kinds of books tend to be big on action and light on characters, which isn't my thing. So even if it was really YA, I probably wouldn't be interested. #MSWL

#mswl Lesbian pirates, either historical or fantasy. I've seen a number of queries like this, but none have quite clicked with me so far. Still hoping!

YA contemporary: I don’t want good girls, nice girls, nice kids. I want kids with buried secrets and selfish truths. Ones that try their best to be good but falter and make the wrong choices. Dark tone, snarky but not the shitty kind of egotistical wittiness. #mswl
Jess Dallow @jldallow · 24 Sep 2019
YA mystery/thriller in the vein of ONE OF US IS LYING, TWO CAN KEEP A SECRET, or THE CHEERLEADERS. #MSWL
Ariana Philips @ArianaPhilips · 24 Sep 2019
#MSWL Smart and sexy rom-coms (I want to laugh and fall in love!), epic family dramas, gritty and contemporary YA, true crime that reads like a suspense novel, anything food related (f and nf), pop science and history

#mswl Character/relationship-focused spaceship or space station #SF--I'd love something with a Deep Space 9 feel

#MSWL We are aggressively looking for #Amish romance for our Amara mass market paperback line! Contemporary romance or suspense, full length, authors with print tracks preferred.

Happy #MSWL Day!
I would love to a funny and uplifting friendship break-up / make-up story, or a fraught and complicated friend break-up story (perhaps a thriller?). #MG, #YA, #Adult Surprise me! #MSWL

some #mswl hopes after losing a book I loved dearly (but ended up at a wonderful home!): give me your big hearted rom coms, give me your novels that feel like the best fan fiction, give me your F/F love stories!!!!, give me your happy endings with just enough angst in the middle.refreshing a relevant thread on this beautiful #MSWL day:

I'd love to see more true crime books that speak to a broader social issue, with a strong platform. #MSWL

#mswl Contained/closed-room mysteries or thrillers with an SFF or historical setting
