I dug through hundreds of obituaries & spoke to gay ballplayers from the 1940s up through the 1990s to find the queer history of women in baseball that we stand to lose if it isn't documented. narrative.ly/the-hidden-que…This piece on the queer women of baseball is brilliant and worth a read to start off #Pride. Also, if anyone's writing a queer take of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, please send it my way! I'd love to find a F/F historical YA sports project. #MSWL

History is filled with women I'm furious nobody told me about in school#MSWL Hit me up with bios of overlooked women in history.

I really like books about moms and cannot believe I really don't have books about moms. Women's fiction or domestic suspense #MSWL

It seems like a good time to remind authors of my #MSWL. That way when I come back Tuesday I'll have plenty waiting for me.I would love to find a good beachy, women's fiction read. Something about friends, beaches, small towns, that sort of thing #MSWL

Submissions Call: Women's fiction of a darker vein/spirit (think Mavis Gary in movie Young Adult), complicated sisterhood/friendship narratives, starting over stories that don't spark fm cancer or infidelity, a rock/music band of older women (Dixie Chicks, Go Gos, etc.) #MSWL #WF

Really craving edgy, messy characters in my YA manuscripts - especially young women who make mistakes and fail and try and succeed. Send me some messy YA contemps, people!

It's impossible to have too many books set in libraries--#SFF, #WF, #R, #S, #YA. All genres need more books set in libraries. With librarian heroes. #MSWL

My complete #MSWL is live, and yes, I did watch all of Stranger Things season one in a day - don't judge! Check out what I'm looking for here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/tess…

I am still actively looking for new clients. Women’s fiction is on my #MSWL. I’d love to find some beach reads and romance that crosses over into the women’s fiction realm. I’m also hungry for more nonfiction—especially narrative and/or those with a culinary bent.

Let’s also have more protagonist moms whose power doesn’t come from a system of patriarchal monarchy, who come to prominence not for whom they married or birthed, but for their independent accomplishments.Let’s see more heroines whose power isn’t derived from proximity to men.
YES SARAH!!! Life for women and women characters does not start and end with marriage/motherhood. We are women before and after marriage and motherhood, with stories to tell there too. #MSWL esp in SFF.

A partial list of some of the coolest moms of science fiction and fantasy:- Molly Weasley (Harry Potter)
- Catelyn Stark (Song of Ice and Fire)
- Mrs. Murry (A Wrinkle in Time)
- Queen Ramonda (Black Panther)
- Tenar (Earthsea)
- Alana (Saga)
- Essun (The Broken Earth)
Consider this whole thread a #MSWL
I want stories about good moms and bad moms, dedicated moms and indifferent moms, moms who move mountains for their kids and moms who do amazing things in spite of having kids.
All these women existed—and continue to exist.
Happy #MothersDay.

Honestly I want more political fantasy about mothers as heroes orchestrating the rise of their children to power. It happens in history all the time. These women’s stories deserve to be told with magic and hecking dragons.Ooo this. I want this. #mswl
Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica · May 11
I also want anything to do with women. Self-empowerment, women bartenders, journals for women. You get it. #MSWL
