Please send me your best YA historical fantasy! #MSWL

#BookExpo session on the future of publishing has me thinking about the importance of representing the people where you live. So on that note: #YA #MSWL featuring Hmong characters and info on the Secret War and ensuing refugee movement. Plus if it’s in the Twin Cities!

GASP #MSWL. Also this reminds me of when a telenovela star came into the Hollister where I worked in NM, and she was so gorgeous and glam that I slammed my hand in the cash drawer, but didn’t want to betray myself, so I rang her up as my crushed hand shook beneath the counter

This is still true! If you're querying a middle grade or YA, I hope you will consider sending your submission my way -- I can't wait to read and I'm excited to find some projects to work on over the summer! #mswl

Loved seeing Booksmart over Memorial Day weekend. Funny, a feel-good, and feminist bent? Would love to see a thought-provoking YA manuscript that makes me laugh as much as this did #WishlistWednesday #MSWL

I'm ready to start seeing more urban fantasy YA in my inbox, just saying... #MSWL

Yes please #mswl

Pleeeeaaassse? #MSWL

Pretty please? #mswl

#MSWL I've tweeted something similar in the past but YA in the same vein as Sally Thorne, Marisha Pessl, Helen Hoang, and Caroline Kepnes are evergreen requests for me.

#MSWL I've read amazing contemporary fiction lately. WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH, RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, MEET CUTE, THE MUSIC OF WHAT HAPPENS, ALEX, APROXIMATELY, THE PRINCESS AND THE FANGIRL, 99 PERCENT MINE, ON THE COME UP. So great! If you can comp these for YA send them my way.

FYI, if it’s legally possible, I would 100% publish an #ownvoices YA novel about a teenage girl or boy in the Motown star system. Signed, someone who read DREAMGIRL: MY LIFE AS A SUPREME in high school & *loved* it. #mswl

Writers! We want #queerlit #picturebooks #MG & #YA, #RVA & #VAhistory, & powerful #memoirs, especially from #women, #POC, & other minorities. #MSWL #smallpress brandylanepublishers.com/wp/author-subm…

Interesting! I would love a #MG or #YA NF book on how small changes like this can make a big difference! #MSWL

A Quick Update for my YA #MSWL:
I'm full on YA F, my requests for that are much less.
I'd still love a clever YA SF. I love high concept and fresh takes w/ a literary edge and great voice.
For YA Thr & Horror, again w/ fresh takes & great voices

+YA Historicals w/ literary edge

Another big #MSWL

#MSWL please give me this YA

#mswl

I just saw the Downton Abbey movie trailer and I'm super excited!

I'd love to see in my inbox a #YA Downton Abbey-esque MS with contemporary themes! Please!

#MSWL: I'd love a YA in the vein of #SeeYouYesterday. Set in the hot center of a contemporary American city. Give me the sounds, sights, flavors of the place, all in the middle of the summer. Make the stakes as high as THUG. Make it shine with magic/fantasy. Blend the genres.

8. Book hangover. Something I haven't seen.

I have been reading in YA since I was a kid so I want to new takes on things. But I also want in on that secret of no-sleep because I stayed up too late reading a submission. #MSWL
