If you happen to have dark academia books in the YA, YA crossover, or adult literary space, we should talk. 👀

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.

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.

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!

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

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 🙃

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!
