Has somebody written the YA book about the kid who is the president of their school’s GSA for 3 years before they take notice that they themselves are not straight? It seems like too common a scenario to miss in the teen literary canon.If you know of this, please tell Emmet (and me!); if not, #mswl.

#MSWL YA romances set in other countries. Actually, just generally YAs set in other countries (but, like, wouldn't mind a romance in there 😉) (agented only) #editorvacation

Sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it. So feel free to send your YA novel even if it doesn't fit any of the above.

Contemporary YA featuring immigrants or children of immigrants. Think Nicola Yoon, Ibi Zoboi, Erika L. Sánchez, Mitali Perkins

A YA version of Sarah Addison Allen. Whimsical magic.

I’m watching National Treasure and I want more heist/treasure hunting books, especially YA (and queer.) It’s a genre we should revive.(This is not a call for recommendations please do not respond with “have you read x”)
#MSWL since you’ll have a hard time convincing me National Treasure isn’t a 10/10 movie

wait now I’m inspired. 😤 Would any Queer YA authors (or creators of any queer media in general) be interested in writing a short, affirming piece for queer fans that might be reeling from the end of Supernatural? Esp the teens? We could feature them in a round-up on YA Pride.If anyone feels inspired . . . or wants to make this into a book . . . and maybe uh #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? #MSWLMC 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
