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 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

I would love to see some great picture books for these sciences. I had second grade patrons who wanted these! #MSWL
