I can’t stop thinking about this.Someone write me a reverse, PoC Howard Carter #SFF novel where cultural artifacts are repatriated to their rightful inheritors. Give me the fantasy or future tech inverse heist novel. #MSWL twitter.com/_iwakeli_i/sta…
YES PLEASE (I even wrote a #MSWL tweet about this a while ago!)

I first read them in Dell Yearling paperback editions when I was 8 or 9, and I can’t wait to read them to Dash — especially THE SATURDAYS, set in NYC.And a contemporary MG novel like this, featuring a boisterous & loving POC family, is an eternal #MSWL for me.

Where are my joyful stories featuring #POC characters? Diversity pls! Black, Latinx, Asian, Indian, Native American, etc. This term gets read over a lot in my #MSWL’s. For those who don’t know, POC refers to the term "person of color” & describes any person NOT considered white.So much #mswl! poc and lgbtq+ individuals just being people and living life!
Where is my ya contemporary story of a black male gymnast’s rise to glory? #MSWL

Lastly, until I think of more, definitely send me MG STEM-infused plots and POC characters and boys who are allowed to feel/girls who are smart and capable and sassy. Truly looking for tons of GN in the MG sphere #amagenting #querytip

would also LOVE dark GN with creatures from lesser known legends/cultures
on that note, give me historical GN! Give me time periods in new places with new people and their part in that event. I'd love POC and how they affected certain wars/spy networks/etc. #amagenting #querytip

Saraciea is...on semi-hiatus @Sj_Fennell
Just a friendly reminder to all my editorial friends looking to acquire books for 2021. Black Latinx voices are still not present in this industry. Can you pledge to acquire at least 2 black Latinx authors for 2021 for your list? #supportblacklatinxvoicesSaraciea is absolutely right, as usual, and to be clear: I am very much looking for Black Latinx voices across all the categories I represent! Please consider querying me if that’s you! (More about my list here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…) #amquerying #MSWL

I've read stories where modern protagonists travel to the past, but do any of you know of books where a historical character travels to the future and is completely baffled/delighted by modern technology?Somebody write me this, but with a POC protagonist. We all know time traveling to the past is not an option for us lmao #MSWL

In anticipation of my trip to New Orleans, one thing on my #mswl is almost any kind of book about the American South. Southern Gothic, romance, non-fiction, horror etc. Especially written by/about people of color. (Also open to already published book recommendations!)

Soooo I'm just going to pop in to say that a Sisterhood of Traveling Pants like friendship story with an all queer and/or POC cast of character has been on my #mswl for aaaawhile.

Watching Shrill just reminds how desperately I need some POC plus sized protags in my YA and MG #mswl

Hello! I am on the hunt for a dark, magical YA that has elements of romance but is more largely focused on Some Grand Mystery/Threat, in the vein of Chime or The Witch of Blackbird Pond. Gimme that spooky, transportive grit, especially if it’s from a BIPOC perspective! #MSWL
