“I’d love a super feminine adventure story. Think mystery, high stakes, and difficult situations mixed with bright colours, glitter, and gemstones.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

Dang, this woman was amazing: Juilliard at age 8, her own TV show in the 1950s, stood up to HUAC. Write me a PB bio, pls! #MSWL

These are the picture books I’m looking for. Everyday stories with diverse main characters. I would have repped her book. #MSWL #mirrors&windows

Guys, I'd REALLY love a YA Altered Carbon—a super-futuristic urban sci-fi that discusses the ethical/moral implications behind technological advancement because I am OBSESSED. #MSWL

After a discussion about hummus yesterday that led me to use the phrase "hummus in my tummus" I'm really wanting to see picture books with playful words like this. #mswl

#mswl I'd love to see a wildfire story. I'm equal opportunity on the setting -- campers/hikers? Surburanites? I want to see survival and moving on. Also, I'm from CA, so wildfires affecting urban settings is something I'm used to seeing (alas).

Always #mswl for this in MG & YA. Historical fic, urban fantasy, and magical realism!

I would really love to find an exciting, middle grade adventure/ fantasy set somewhere other than the US or Europe.

Great example: THE SERPENT'S SECRET by @Sayantani16
