Novels in verse are generally more appropriate for @LEEandLOW in MG. For YA, that's us, as long as it's fiction. #MSWL

Generally, middle grade books should be more than 40k words long. YA books should be more than 50k. Over 100k, you should question it. #MSWL

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've been rewatching CHARMED recently, and I would so love to find a YA in that vein. Sisters, girl friends. #MSWL

Always liked stories about cloning. If you have an original take on this theme, send it along! MG or YA. #MSWL

MG/YA ORPHAN BLACK. One of my fave TV shows. Love the balance of the scifi, intrigue, & the family dynamics. #mswl twitter.com/susanhawk/stat…
