listening to @raceandfood talk about the whiteness of travel writing, and how when POC get to write about travel, it's only within the context of immigration/refugees. Decolonize travel writing ugh yes!I would love a book-length project on this topic. *hint hint* #mswl

Seriously, writers: if you can write this, this is a serious #MSWL. Must be either MG or YA, could be graphic novel or novel. Or even nonfiction, if you want to tackle the real-world facts of this. #submissions #amwriting #YAlit #MGlit twitter.com/AmazonChique/sā¦Totally serious. Preferably POC writers from related cultures. #MSWL

Would love literary fiction or non-fiction about generational wealth and POCs who move outside of the socio-economic class structure they are born into. #MSWL

(This is why so much advice to writers is read, read, read: you can only see what's new if you already know what's old) #MSWL #querytip #amqueryingAs a reminder, for fiction & NF I like: #ownvoices; campus novels; narratives featuring chronic illness, disability, nonbinary, queer characters; gentrification from POC perspectives; complications caused by class differences; books that make me think & laugh #MSWL #amquerying

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 pplMore 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

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

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
