What happens to the kids AFTER they win Masterchef or Top Chef Junior and they go back to real life after being on tv for three months? Do they feel pressure to go to culinary school when they are 17 after spending months saying that's their dream at 11? #MSWL

It's been nearly four years and I'm still dreaming of this project. Someone please write me FOUETTES FOR DAYS. I'd love the teen male POV on ballet with some drama and romance. #MSWL

I love THE MAGICIANS. So I would totally be down to see a #YA magical college setting. #MSWL

I really love Lloyd Alexander. His work is simply beautiful on so many levels. If you can add a #Christian element in a #CSLewis-esque manner - obvious, but not overwhelming, and generally enjoyed regardless of the reader's faith - I would be over the moon. #MSWL #YA, #Fantasy

I'd also like #Contemporary #Christian/#Inspy #YA featuring homeschooled students in an honest, ultimately positive light. Showcase the weird and wonderful side of this diverse community with humor and love. #MSWL

I'd like to see a novel that tackles the issue of #autism and police interaction, particularly for a POC on the spectrum, as discussed in this article by @hollyrpeete: huffingtonpost.com/entry/autism-a… #autismmom #MSWL #YA #WF

Fantasy retelling of a biblical story - maybe Esther, Jonah, Hagar, or Hosea and his unfaithful wife. Set it somewhere new and magical. Add depth and imagination, but not heresy or gratuitous sex/violence. Lead reader through mud to beauty. #MSWL #Christian #YA #Fantasy

With the #Olympics on my mind, I'd love to find a #PB, #MG, or #YA book about #figureskating. I don’t want the stereotypical "mean girl" skater. Show me the skater who stays after hours, who has a million bruises from trying to nail a jump, who uses the ice as a canvas. #MSWL

Oh my goodness do I want a YA Titanfall-esque book. Teen pilot bonds with his giant mech... where is it?

Someone get me a book that reminds me of watching Exosquad as a kid, stat. #MSWL

I'd like a down-and-dirty youth missions trip in which stereotypes fall away to reveal beautiful human beings who never thought they'd be friends. Room for romantic element, but not necessary. Make me laugh, then cry. Steer clear of cheesy. #MSWL #Christian #YA #Contemporary

Feeling really nostalgic tonight, which means I'm in the mood for a punk rock romance in YA or adult. The voice, subtle differences, and surprises are what make these ones good! And if you listened to Blink-182 while writing, we'll be best friends. #MSWL youtu.be/jqQZnFrfGaU

Bonjour mes amis, who is going to send me the YA manuscript that this story inspires? #MSWL

I'd love a sweet, layered contemporary realistic YA romance.

#MSWL Not just (another) YA novel about having anxiety, but about the misunderstandings that arise between friends when one DOESN'T have anxiety, and how to deal.

Today is the day!

I'm open for queries again at @PSLiterary! Looking for YA, non-fiction (especially essays and memoir!), literary fiction, and more.

Details of my wishlist, here! bit.ly/2DS63il #MSWL

Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL

MEGA #MSWL: a YA Fantasy that feels like this song youtube.com/watch?v=46rUBC…
