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

On the YA side, whether fantastical or realistic, I gravitate toward books w/ high concept hooks and stories anchored in themes of identity, sexuality, & loss & grief. (Grief & sex can be complex labyrinths to navigate, as we know...).

As a grad of a performing arts high school I’d love to see a YA or New Adult novel about what happens when you love your art form but it doesn’t love you back in the way you expected. Think Larissa from I Wanna Be Where You Are. #MSWL

I made up a #MSWL! The main problem is that there are honestly more things that I DO want to see books made of than not, but hopefully someone finds this helpful✨

I have finished The Queen's Gambit and I am bereft I cannot watch it again for the first time.

This was easily one of my favorite shows of the year and if you have any project like this in the YA or YA crossover space, I am HERE for it.

My head is swirling around random thoughts today, but you know what I’d love to see in my inbox???? A sarcastic and wonderful holiday book: nonfiction—cooking book or DIY decorations and their meanings (love learning about traditions) or fiction—YA rom-com. #MSWL

Time for a #MSWL update! When it comes to genre, I’m omnivorous. In #MG and #YA, I’m especially hungry for:

High-concept genre elements combined with literary writing and an exploration of timeless themes.

Genre mash-ups! Give me that...

I am FOREVER looking for a well-researched YA or MG based on a historical tragedy (earthquakes, ship sinking, volcano, chicago fire, etc). #MSWL #AskECLA
