YA that doesn't gloss over serious issues, but treats them subtly and powerfully #MSWL

#MSWL for #MG or #YA
~ A mystery or suspense involving painted rocks 💗

#amquerying #amwriting #amediting #writerslife

#MSWL for YA:
~ a FAUST retelling
~ a plot that brings to mind Ibsen's AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
~ Grumpy antiheroes who can't seem to be evil (despite how they try) / humor is a plus!

It's a YA biography! This is my #MSWL for Non-fiction.

I want YA with NB protagonists. I want to see the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum normalized and represented. #MSWL

I want YA that gives equal weight to "small" things (friends, grades, etc) and "big" things (bringing justice to the world). It's all connected! #MSWL

The Chocolate War posed the question "Do I dare disturb the universe?" I want a book that barrels right past that question and into HOW. Give me YA where teens are changing the world #MSWL

"Show me why friendship break-ups are so much worse than relationship break-ups." #YA @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I'm still on the hunt for #Christian/#Ispy #YA fantasy and contemporary. If you see your story on my #MSWL, I'd love to hear from you! anaiahpress.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/new…

I’ve been tweeting lots of Olympics-related #MSWL b/c of amazing teen athletes. Tonight was breathtaking skate by 15yo Russian figure skater Alina Zagitova. I’d love YA about teen skating phenom. Bonus points for intense rivalry with teammate/friend, like w/Evgenia Medvedeva.

Ooh, this sounds fantastic (in YA/MG). #MSWL

This made me laugh so freaking hard. I would so love to see a YA about a teen who games the system to make it to the Olympics or other hugely competitive international event. #MSWL
