I'd love a MG or YA w/ a big ensemble cast where even minor characters are vivid & true & original & rise far past tropes/stereotypes. #MSWL

I'm super into Gilmore Girls right now (duh), so I'd love to see a YA about a close mother-daughter, for better or worse! #mswl

MG/YA about the lost stories of early African-American folk/blues/jazz musicians. #MSWL
Replying to @abuckslater

So many of these histories have vanished, or were always vanished, and they're essential. Give them life. Magical realism accepted. #MSWL

I don't think I've ever read a YA book set in a shop. Lots of YAs work I retail (I did!) and it's rife w kooky ensemble opportunities.#mswl
