My cyberpunk senses have never been pinged higher in recent days than seeing this virtual crowd + all the digital live effects for this WWE #SummerSlam
I need this in a manuscript! #mswl

Final warning: I am actively searching for a literary CNF book by a writer of color. Needs to be literary & about the South. Open until midnight for already completed projects for 2020. As always: my inbox is open for chats about in-progress works. @WritersofColor @HubCityPressI have some new followers! Here's a tweet that sums up my perennial #MSWL for @HubCityPress. We are a small press (no $800k advances here) but endeavor to maintain a curated list to be sure our titles are as well-supported as we can manage with a tiny staff.

I'm so excited to read MILL TOWN by @KerriArsenault. It looks like it hits on so many of my interest points for NF: town books, industry, modernity v traditional ways, water, climate justice. (it doesn't hurt that it's set 30 min down the road from where I grew up).And fwiw, I'd love to find a book like that set in the South. If you (or someone you know) are at work on that kind of project, lmk. A little #mswl for your Tuesday am.

Just starting THE BLACK COUNT by Tom Reiss, and wow. Alexandre Dumas's father was amazing. goodreads.com/book/show/1333…I'd love to see a submission (New Visions or agented) that covers/is inspired by his teen years--sold into slavery by his own father, but made his way to France to rise from the bottom in the French army to its highest general rank. #MSWL

Finally watched The Lighthouse and that is the creepy, atmospheric, unreliable narrator, secret-laden, seagull-as-terror, "neither person's the better one", dramatic monologuing, post-Lovecraftian horror I'm looking for #mswl
Other
For #MSWL in horror
- Creepy Southern/Western Americana or non-Western world Gothic
- horror that interrogates sociopolitical fears
- anything you can see Bruce Campbell starring in
- no exploitative violence against femmes and POC pls
Other
For #MSWL in adult sci-fi/ fantasy:
- contemporary fantasy that's "city as character"
- anything that reminds me of a CW show (lol)
- positive climate fiction
- near-futuristic SF with anti-capitalist critique in the vein of PARASITE

In light of the continuing clusterf*ck in the book world, popping up on your feed to casually mention1) I'm one of the handful of QWOC editors at a Big 5
2) I'm in a buying mood for more SF/F/H for adult YA & MG
3) My list is majority queer and POC authors. And I'd love more.
I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:
For young adult:
M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation
a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).
a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

I'm certain this will all work out just fine. theguardian.com/science/2020/j…Science fictions become realities. I'm fascinated by all the implications this has for good or otherwise. #mswl

Imagine if mainstream sci fi showed us THOSE kinds of futures.Not a future where Native people are canonically leaving Earth because even though folks who wanna colonize things have ALL OF SPACE now, they still won't leave Earth alone. pic.twitter.com/c98leabvEQ

I know there may be great pitches that I don't see, so if I haven't favourited your pitch, but you think we'd be a good fit, please do still send me your MS marked 'FAO: Leodora #DVpit'.I would love to find some twisty psych/domestic thrillers. I also have a soft spot for heartbreaking historical or women's fiction. Finally, if you're sitting on a crime novel with a killer hook, please send it my way. #MSWL

Agents, a #MSWL for a nonfiction graphic novel: biography or just general nonfiction covering the indigenous and POC climate and environmental activists risking their lives (and sometimes losing them) around the world as they work against corporate interests.
