Hurrah, I'm up on #MSWL - all #authors check out my page here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ther… and submit, submit, submit!

Would also be about a YA in which a queer human is dating a straight human, they break up & they're bff teamwork & support #mswl any genre

To sum up: who's writing that drum corps YA novel starring a POC filled w/ drum corps summer drama? I want to acquire it! #MSWL @DCI

The idea of corps as a perfect place for a YA novel has been at the back of my mind for a long time. #MSWL

We see YA books in performing arts schools, ballet companies, high school band (not as much on that last) but never corps. #MSWL

I elaborated on how awesome & diverse drum corps is/can be & perfect setting for a YA novel, but Twitter died & lost tweets. Later. #MSWL

The summer after high school I marched drum corps. I've never seen a YA novel that approached the subject. #MSWL

Every time I watch #OceansEleven or #OceansThirteen, I'm reminded how much I'd love a contemporary YA Jewel Thief/Caper book. #MSWL

Okay, but just because STEEPLEJACK exists & I'm going to read it doesn't mean I don't want this ms in my inbox. Just saying. #mswl

#mswl #ya #parkour non-dude protagonist, please! I want to read about non-super-hero teen girls running up buildings.

If someone wrote a YA story about two teens meeting through the Pokemon Go App and falling in love, I'd read it! #mswl

#MSWL a MG/YA about the destruction of the Rondo neighborhood in STP—or a similar historically black neighborhood

Shameless as YA #mswl

#MSWL YA Fantasy with kickass female main character a la Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, Rae Carson or Alex Bracken.

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

Some YA fantasy has been known to go over 100k, but generally we look for less than 90k because usually it's stronger shorter. #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

"YA novel about teens into rock climbing/gyms. The terminology, the gear...someone write that."@ericsmithrocks #MSWL bit.ly/1dbOPj8
