"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight."

Transplants just don’t talk about cities the way natives do and that’s the voices I want to see more of in fiction across all genres. #mswl

"Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I welcome story-based proposals in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb & methodology-based projects in the vein of HOW TO DO THE WORK by Nicole LePera."

Specifically I would love to see more unreliable and morally questionable main characters. Antiheroes, gimme. #mswl

Okay so, for the longest time, my friend and I have said that cats are Muslim and sent each other any evidence of this. She sent me this thread today and now I need to read a story about why cats follow Islam. A fable or a myth. Please, I’m begging. Consider this a #mswl tweet.

I am open for queries!! Send me all the things!!

I would really like to see stories with complicated family dynamics where blood is not necessarily thicker than water #MSWL

PB: (select)
- lyrical and fresh cultural stories

New year, new #MSWL! What I'm looking for in 2023:

Overall, I'm excited about character-driven, diverse stories featuring ensemble casts and strong points of view.🧵

And a #MSWL in Instagram Reel form (!) is also now live on both mine and @DA_Agency Insta profiles! (11/12)

If I've not mentioned what you're writing, it doesn't mean I don't want to read it! A non-Twitter version of my #MSWL is on our blog, here: darleyandersonblog.com/2023/02/02/tan… (10/12)

Finally, I absolutely adored WEYWARD – multiple time periods, feminism, and the incredibly atmospheric writing made this such a compelling and unique read for me (9/12)

Speaking of toxic, I raced through SUCCESSION and love how it confronts our obsession with wealth while exploring the rot it creates within family/friends/relationships (8/12)

If you've written a book where the setting is key then I'd also love to see that - VIRGIN RIVER for the sweeping landscapes or THE MORNING SHOW for the toxic work environment (7/12)

G+F is such a joyous triumph of celebrating female friendships, untraditional families, older protagonists, and life after love (6/12)
