Just came from the incredible Noah's Beasts exhibit at @MorganLibrary. Don't miss this--inspiration and beauty for DAYS. pic.twitter.com/SRF728yRlg

On a related note: go to museums and galleries. Take the tours. I guarantee you will be inspired/find a great story there. #MSWL

I would love a picture book that introduces logic concepts. Or an MG whose central character applies logic to a complex mystery! #MSWL

Micro SF/F stories @MicroSFF

"You are reading a book," the car said. It pulled over and stopped.
"This road is paid for by adverstising boards. Look at them to proceed."

This is precisely the sort of Ffordian/Prachettian joke I like. #MSWL

@chaeronaea Clubbing every Saturday and Sunday sounds like some kind of fairy tale curse. "For insulting the witch, you must dance every weekend away"

#MSWL in which a witch curses a millennial with all the things boomers think millennials do on purpose.

How about a novel about revolution high up? Not scrappy rebels, but public figures who support a regime and spy/undermine within? #MSWL

Still want this! I want to see people who are part of something awful acknowledge the awfulness and FIGHT BACK AGAINST IT. #MSWL

A book that about the fashion world in the vein of how Black Swan treated the ballet world. Think dark and twisty Devil Wears Prada. #MSWL

@Ellethevillain I would 100% read a novel in verse based on this dream fragment.

Replying to @lauraeweymouth

Active #MSWL on this one!

I think one striking thing about #fyrefestival is models on Instagram luring partygoers to their doom like modern-day sirens

Just learned that firing squads traditionally shoot one blank in the lineup for plausible deniability. Tell me that story. #MSWL

Real life, revealed. (Thanks @am_davenport for the rec.) Love & Black Lives, in Pictures Found on a Brooklyn Street nyti.ms/2kawc65

I would really love something like this as a book: MC finds artifact and goes in search of its owner, discovers history along the way. #MSWL

#MSWL: A Riverdale-esque YA retelling of a classic, non-murdery tale. But less soapy, more literary, and turn the noir up to 11.

Guys, please. Put the noir in my inbox. #mswl

A YA epistolary novel told through chats, emails, and texts about the decline of a best-friendship. #MSWL

I always want magic, but I want to see contemporary folk magic: stitching, knots, bones, herbs, improvisation, etc. #MSWL

I hope it goes without saying that I want to see diverse characters, authors, settings, cultures, etc! #MSWL
