I would love a feminist-as-hell YA about a coven of witches. I can imagine a bunch of awesome interpretations of this setup. #MSWL

I would like to see more fun YA! Not so heavy & issue-driven. I want books that can make me laugh & provide a happy escape too! #MSWL

I want a contemporary YA that features a m/m or f/f romance, but it still needs a fresh hook beyond the relationship. #MSWL

For contemporary YA, I really want a book about two female best friends. Unbreakable bond sort of thing. #MSWL

I've tweeted this before, but it can't hurt to say it again: YA magical realism is super high on my #MSWL.

I rep a lot of children's books. Gimme some more. In general, I'm open to pretty much any genre for MG or YA if it has a great hook. #MSWL

More on humor- I particularly like unabashed wit from my protags in YA/MG - their uncensored/unjaded view of the world can be awesome #mswl

A YA or SFF reinterpretation of PERSUASION - not beat-for-beat, please, but that feeling of second chances & love that hasn't died. #mswl
