Just tossing this out for a Monday: I would love to see more lifestyle and food/diet books. I am a big cook, and would love to find more books in this area. #mswl

Looking for inclusive fiction of all kinds. Also still hungry for beach reads and romcom (YA especially, but adult too!) Seeking sports romance of all kinds, & I'm a huge hockey fan! But love football too and am also a sucker for the Olympics, and related books and shows. #MSWL

I'm open to queries and currently very caught up. (Hint, hint) I'm hungry for ya romance, queer romance for YA and adult space. Queer fiction in general. Chick lit/romcom. Women's fiction. I'd love a beach read in winter. #mswl

Delving more into my nonfiction #MSWL, I'd love really sharp, intelligent pop culture. Contemporary cultural takes, too, w/ humor, great voice. Looking for some fun new projects to go out with early 2018.

Lest anyone misunderstand. I don't enjoy hard and bad things happening to people. Yet if they do, I celebrate those tales of survival #MSWL

As a #mswl note, I'm a big fan of Jon Krakauer and also of survival stories. People who claw their way out of extreme situations. #memoir

See previous tweet for #MSWL re: southern fiction. Also eager for commercial-lit fiction. Upmarket, high concept with elegant voice.

#MSWL I'm looking for compulsive #WF and commercial fic with atmospheric sense of place. Where the setting IS a character on page.

#MSWL Two of my favorite romance tropes are enemies to lovers and beauty and the beast. I love it in historical, contemp, LGBT, anything

#MSWL Great southern commerical fiction: think Pat Conroy, Mary Kay Andrews, Anne River Siddons. Family sagas, nostalgia, anything southern
