Or their songs. Good grief #MSWL: “The Moon Is Down,” “New Year’s Project,” “Just Until Sundown,” “Again I Go Unnoticed,” “The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most”!!!!!
(Maybe they’re YA - or maybe they’re for us 30-something punk kids who wore Mary Janes & too much eyeliner.)

2020 is when Persona 4 finally got released for PC, so 2020's the perfect time to remix that nostalgic, small-town Japan, crime-solving-teens feeling except w/o the homophobia and pointless sexism, right? #mswl

My #mswl profile is up on the MSWL website! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mara… I’ve put the link up in my profile, but I’m adding it to the thread here! Check it out!It just occurred to me that I have not mentioned it here, but the focus of my list has always been the stories from marginalized voices where the characters are just living their lives. Pain is part of our stories, but I want to give space to the joyful stories. Send to me #mswl

Spoke to an editor this morning and reminded myself how much I want a historical in MG, YA, or Adult about a gun-toting, foul mouthed, self-sufficient woman like Ruby from Cold Mountain. Any country or continent or sexuality or skin color. I’m tired of petticoats. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm now open to adult contemporary fiction, both commercial and upmarket. I want witty beach reads, elements of suspense/thriller, family secrets, and books about rich people behaving badly#MSWL I’m especially interested in books by marginalized authors that don’t necessarily center the trauma of oppression.
3. I want to hear from marginalized authors who have a story to tell that isn't just considered an "issue book". Give me culture and family and love.
4. Give me characters I want to root for and in the end, there's a HEA.
What am I missing in my inbox?
1. I want smushy sweet romance that makes me tear up when I read--like LOVE, VICTOR or LOVE, SIMON or RED WHITE and ROYAL BLUE.
2. I want relationships that are full of friendship and happiness, especially written with a cast of diverse characters.

“I’d really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don’t want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don’t want answers to.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswlI'm forever chasing the high of reading Blood & Salt by @Kim_Liggett, and how badly I want another book that makes me feel THAT uneasy. #MSWL

Do you think we'll ever get a Desi YA anthology???? Because I want one. And I am also available to write in one *hint hint*I've been asking for this for two years!!! An anthology with separate stories or one like Let It Snow where it all culminates together at the end. #MSWL

This makes me want some kind of frantic, trippy sci-fi set in an energy charged city with some kind of spooky, clandestine cat-like creature that kinda just shows up everywhere until the MC realizes it's helping them solve scifi crime from the shadowsboredpanda.com/playstation-5-…
I'd tag this with MSWL but it just might be too weird...
... and it would be great if this was also super packed with LGBTQ+ characters too
... oh also if the whole story took place in the course of a night
