I thought it might be worth noting that I'm not interested in novels of any genre that take place in the modern day and have military ties to the plot. Personal preference. (Yes, I'm still on my long weekend.) #WritingCommunity #MSWL #askagent

Anyone writing a novel about the Career Girls Murders that's NOT about the killer? #mswl

#MSWL someone write me a paranormal legal thriller, with a series in mind, with a hotshot young attorney who gets help from the ghost of former detective who can’t let his work go even in death (or something along those lines).

"Literary fiction that takes you into small worlds and communities where I'm an outsider. A glimpse inside a complex family, or a workplace." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswlBecause @ZillianZi's Number One Chinese Restaurant absolutely ruined me last year. I desperately want to read a novel that makes me feel like that again. #MSWL

I’d also be keen to read a lougarou book by a Haitian writer. I’d waive my no horror rule for that. #MSWL(Like, I’m not telling you what to do but Little Red Riding Hood is made to be told by a Haitian) #MSWL

So if you’re a writer of color with an Adult retelling of a fairytale or kids’ fable (including non-European stories) send it to me. #MSWLI’d also be keen to read a lougarou book by a Haitian writer. I’d waive my no horror rule for that. #MSWL

These books also date as far back as the 1970s. So clearly the fairytale thing is a perennial fave. Reports of it being “over saturated” might be overblown.So if you’re a writer of color with an Adult retelling of a fairytale or kids’ fable (including non-European stories) send it to me. #MSWL

I won't say just because this is my professional Twitter but I will say I was younger than expected and my German mother had already been telling me about periods for years. Still didn't recognize mine when it happened or even fully understand what having a period meant. twitter.com/1mercysarah/st…For any writers out there writing about menstruation (#mswl) remember that knowing=/=understanding. And also kids sometimes think they know, but they don't.

I would LOVE more #ownvoices Filipino YA or MG (set in the US or the Philippines) in my slush. My SIL is from the Philippines, my niece/nephew are being raised bilingual, I would love to find a gem to champion! #mswl

The 30,000-foot book is a genre that tries to turn mansplaining into literature.Should it exist?

This tweet and linked article—my nonfiction #MSWL is the OPPOSITE of these “30,000 foot books”

So now that you've seen DON'T DATE ROSA SANTOS by @Nina_Writes (& other books by my authors), maybe buy a copy and read it and look at my #mswl and get a sense of what I enjoy 😉 scribblesandwanderlust.com/2019/01/01/msw…

been thinking for a while how.........interesting it is that abortion books are not deemed to be Important in the way that many other social justice issue books areOkay. If you identify as a woman and are writing a YA that involves abortion (specifically from the POV of the girl having the abortion) please send it my way. #mswl

If I distilled my research properly, then teens want contemporary YA with friendship stories and diverse protagonists, but de-emphazing "issue books." #MSWL
