Zee 🦇 @FandomjunkieZee

I just realized something horrible. I bet a huge reason why so many people think this whole 'queer fad' is a new youth culture thing is because the generation of queers that would now be our parents age are dead.

AIDS robbed us of queers who would now be in their mid 40s-50s.

I would like a #MG or #YA that addresses this devastating yet horribly important truth. #mswl

Adam J. Moore, MPH @AJMooreHealth

A friend’s grandma got covid (she’s recovered)

How did she get covid? She’s been sneaking off to karaoke bars that are covertly operating illegally, w/o covid precautions.

Illegal. Underground. Grandma. Karaoke Bars.

Am I disappointed? Amazed? Losing my mind? All of the above.

#MSWL for illegal underground Grandma karaoke bars in a YA cozy murder book.

emmet 🧝‍♂️💜🧦 cameron @emlfc

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

In case #mswl isn’t clear, our website has been updated as people had been telling me my list there was a bit confusing. Right now I would love some young adult or adult psychological thrillers!

I’m watching National Treasure and I want more heist/treasure hunting books, especially YA (and queer.) It’s a genre we should revive.

Mara Delgado-Sánchez is reading subs @little_mswriter

Looking for Indigenous Latinx, Afro Latinx, etc. stories! YA or adult (romcoms, crossover fantasies, or a big juicy love story!) #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

Vee Signorelli 🏳️‍⚧️📖 @findmereading

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 🙃

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

Foyinsi @OyinAtiOmi

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

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
