Obviously interracial relationships don't end racism but tbh I would really love more MG/YA with interracial friendships & romances that don't involve white ppl

More of my friends growing up were POC than not even though (or possibly because?) I lived in very white areas

Agreed 1000%. @MekishaTelfer and I were talking about this. #mswl forever

I’m dying for a #Latinx “Friends” & In The Heights crossover novel featuring a group of friends living in #TheBarrio. You know, just POC being POC in the 21st century. Even better if it’s #RomCom btwn 2 of the friends. #MSWL

Thao Le @ThaoLe8

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. #mswl

Yes, please send @ThaoLe8 all of these things (especially POC) when she reopens in a few weeks so I can buy it all from her. K thanks, bye! #mswl

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

Would love a great contemporary or historical romance featuring fat protagonists or any other marginalized person (disabled, LGBTQ, POC)! #MSWL

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

Saba Sulaiman @agentsaba

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. #mswl

Replying to @agentsaba

OMG YES!!! Would love this with featuring a POC protag too! #MSWL

#MSWL Today, I found myself driving along the original Trail of Tears. As a person of Cherokee descent, I would love to see a #YA (maybe #MG) centered on the Trail of Tears. #POC Any stories built from oral tradition? #NativeAmerican

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
