BUT I want to see some modern magic realism, and some contemporary fantasy (think portal magic, magical bakeries/flower shops, lighthearted time travel in the vein of the movie About Time). Again, more modern/contemporary and less urban fantasy. #mswlEditor
WOC in science who are brilliant, fearless, multifaceted, and celebrated for their contributions. (This last point is important.)
Shuri is the Disney Princess of my dreams. (I was a STEM kid; I have FEELS, ok?) #MSWL #SFF #BlackPanther

Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

honestly, i want to read books about unabashedly non-alpha males that rise to the occasion in high stakes situations and it being perfectly feasible, kind of like legally blonde but for soft dads with secret pockets for a machete in their baby carriers. #mswlOMG YES!!! Would love this with featuring a POC protag too! #MSWL

I'd like to see a novel that tackles the issue of #autism and police interaction, particularly for a POC on the spectrum, as discussed in this article by @hollyrpeete: huffingtonpost.com/entry/autism-a… #autismmom #MSWL #YA #WF

Trust Black Women and Paid Them Damnit @CreatyveBooks
Dear YA,Stop saying certain genres are dead. I'm still waiting for my Black Witches. My Black shapeshifters, vampires, fairies, demon slayers. Hell I'm still waiting for my Black Love story. Also fluffy carefree fat girls.
There's a demand so make it happen
Been putting this on my #mswl for two years. Also include all other PoC and send my way!

But some things I want to stress: maor science fiction. Optimistic, fun science fiction for adult and YA readers #MSWLKooky space adventures = good. Things where POC/QPOC exist in the future = better. All that + The Fifth Element = BEST #MSWL

My #1 #MSWL item right now: #ownvoices chapter book/young MG series featuring POC protagonist, illustrated or with room for illustrations.

Unreliable, awkward, unnerving, inappropriately funny, charmingly disturbing, a misfit, a #YA Tom Ripley, an #POC weirdo. #mswl #ownvoices
