I'd love to see more genre books in conversation or with elements surrounding paganism as it's the oldest recorded operation of witchcraft! Would be so cool. #mswl
I just really want some cerebral, fucked up horror shit that really takes characters through the ringer with confronting who they are when faced with fuckshit. Specifically searching for this in the Adult space, but YA too! #mswl
I just want stories where black and POC characters can do fun shit like solve their shitty ex’s murder or investigate the strange blood that coming from the faucet. Like where are those dark and twisty stories?! NOT IN MY INBOX!!! 😭 #mswl

I read this sentence this morning, and just had to write about it. twitter.com/poynter/status…If someone writes a book about Trump & grammar (hit me up if you do #mswl), @EdYoung's 212-word sentence could be a chapter except @RoyPeterClark already wrote about it. Here is his praise of the semicolon & word "that" in this epic sentence.
I've updated my #MSWL, so if you're curious about what projects I'm looking for, go check it out!

If it has Pretty Litttle Liars or Riverdale vibes -- send it 👏 #MSWL
A good friend has a juicy, layered 1920s mystery MS and I realized how hard it is to find amazing prohibition-era mysteries that aren't lighthearted sleuthing or cozy mysteries. I'd love your recs (and as always this is a #MSWL !)
The descent of a character going from a naive cinnamon roll into a ruthless and calculating villain is a particularly exquisite pain that I'm a total masochist for. *Cue ugly sobbing* #mswl

#mswl Send me cute books! Thrilling books! Wholesome books! Devastatingly clever books! Books that feel like warm blankets! Books that feel like taking a walk on a cool night when you can smell roses see stars!

#mswl I go crazy for "surprising yet inevitable" moments in books. And if you can sprinkle *several* of these twists throughout your manuscript, I'll probably be smitten.

#mswl I adore close, soulmate-style friendships in stories, but I also love stories about having the courage to distance yourself from unhealthy friendships. I welcome stories with best friend breakups.

#mswl I’d love to see chapter books and MG and YA stories with humor that works on multiple levels -- funny for young readers and funny in a more nuanced or ironic way when they reread it years later.

A4: I wish there were more editors, agents, reviewers, and award committee members with an interest in earth science, physics, and chemistry. Why are nearly all science-themed picture books about animals and life sciences?#BlackinSTEM #scicomm #scbwisummerspec #scbwiEquity
I'm currently closed to queries but I am ALWAYS interested about science themed PBS, including earth science, physics and chemistry! (My second picture book as an author also features the six simple machines - PRINCESSES CAN FIX IT! @PageStreetKids 5/4/21) #MSWL
