#MSWL!!

This is my monthly tweet that I would give away my kingdom for a Latinx fantasy #MSWL

I REALLY REALLY want a YA road trip/girls trip book. Silly, funny, friendship, vibezzz. Unforgettable memories that remain secrets foreverrrr. Please. #mswl

I really love the “spending the summer back home” premise in middle grade and YA, especially when “back home” is so varied for Black peoples. Grandma/aunty/cousin’s house is often the perfect background for all kinds of stories. More please! #mswl

#MSWL since you’ll have a hard time convincing me National Treasure isn’t a 10/10 movie

Yes to all this but BIPOC too, pls!
#mswl

If anyone feels inspired . . . or wants to make this into a book . . . and maybe uh #MSWL 🙃

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!

MC: *frantically looking for something in their room*

Alex: *sends message that MC left it in the kitchen*

MC: *grateful but refuses to show it* ALEX! Aren’t you supposed to NOT interfere???

Alex: What’s the point of watching you struggle??😭

Humor all around #MSWL

MC talking to themself or someone else: I’d really love to get ____

Agent: *helpfully sends links to sites that sell it*

MC: LEAVE. ME. ALONE. ALEX. Or I’ll expose you!

Agent: I’m just trying to help 🥺🥺

Genuine friendship eventually ensues. They meet in person someday #MSWL

Okay hear me out....YA novel w/ MC who somehow meets the FBI agent (or whatever group) assigned to monitor/watch MC (like how we all have one) and hilarity ensues. Agent is just trying to be helpful (like whenever MC is looking for something) and MC just so annoyed? #MSWL

"I loved THE DREAMERS by Karen Thompson Walker. Send me more spec fiction, even better if it has an environmental angle. Adult, YA, and graphic novels welcome!” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Young Adult: LGBTQ+ rom com, psychological horror, a new take on vampires, a girl in a rock band, an eerie mystery.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Where are all the space opera writers? Love a good space opera and if you have one, whether adult or YA, send it my way! Also a good adult or YA RomCom! #MSWL #writers #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I'm on the first episode of Dash & Lily, and I NEED more YA romance novels like this. #MSWL

I'm not open to queries right now but if you have a book like this let me know. I might make an exception. 😏

#MSWL

Who wants to do this for us?! #mswl

Please to the Universe, might I have a Queen’s Gambit YA novel? #MSWL

Secret royal a la The Princess Diaries YA or MG. #mswl

I remain committed to my platform of sex positivity in YA, de-stigmatization of desire & sex, & inclusive (& intersectional!) representation for diverse sexual & gender identities.
