Hey #amwriting twitter! I’m on the lookout for a banshee book — reimagined contemporary, classic with a twist — you name it, I’m in. #MSWL

This. This is exactly what I always want. #MSWL

Ex: Bridget Cleary, an Irish woman who had her own businesses and made her own income, whose husband murdered her because he was convinced she was a changeling. I’d LOVE a story about Bridget ACTUALLY being a changeling or witch and seeking her revenge. #MSWL #amquerying

I would love to see historically inspired stories of people who were harmed by the patriarchy taking back their own narrative. People whose otherness and differences were what made them “threatening” to white, cis men at their time. *particularly* with a speculative twist. #MSWL

LORE but a novel. #MSWL

#MSWL 😍😍😍

Oh, it’s #MSWLday is it?! Bring on the weird, the strange, the speculative, the twisty for ALL ages, and particularly from those who have been historically underrepresented or misrepresented in books. #MSWL

On the lookout 👀 for some really compelling upmarket/literary horror, particularly in the #YA space. The kind you gobble down in one sitting because you’re so spooked! 😱 #amquerying #querytrenches #mswl

Can't begin to describe how fundamentally I disagree with this. My door is ALWAYS open to these stories. I want all kinds of experiences to be validated through literature, not just the ones we've historically made room for or found more palatable. #MSWL on.wsj.com/2MY0HdU

A note: I don’t ever want to see boy teases/is mean to girl so that means he likes her. This is a harmful narrative to present and I won’t be the one doing it. #mswl #amquerying

I #MSWL the shit out of the book equivalent of these fabulous witch queens 😍😍😍😍 World of Dance 2018 - Fabulous Sisters youtu.be/p8JvTzf_EhQ

With all the discussion about #AWrinkleinTime, I can’t help but think of this @MadeleineLEngle quote. This has been on my desk for almost 3 years and I extra #mswl all these stories.
