I'm noticing a lot of queries in my inbox for things I don't represent, such as historical novels with no fantasy or science fiction elements, thrillers, and novellas in any genre (except for existing clients). I will not take on new clients with these kinds of books. #mswl

I would love to see a book proposal for a non-fiction book about the history and politics of the concept of “nice.” #mswl

I am a huge, huge fan of historical fantasy, especially from unexpected places and times (like @kateheartfield's Armed in Her Fashion). I don't represent historical fiction with no fantastic elements. #MSWL

I say this every #mswl, but I never get enough hard sf. I especially like hard sf based on the unexpected sciences, like @SueBurkeSpain's Semiosis series, based on her study of botany.

Happy #mswl day! I would like some genuinely fun history (not historical fiction!) for the general reader. I love "history of an idea" books.

Sorry guys, despite working at DMLA, I don't represent mysteries. #MSWL

I enjoy clean, transparent prose in the fiction I represent. I'm less of a fan of the heavily literary (though there are always exceptions!) #mswl

Just a reminder: I'm a huge fan of historical fantasy, especially if you've got a setting I haven't seen before. #MSWL

And if you’ve already written is great book on wrestling and politics, #mswl?

Why did I tweet this? Because sometimes technological advances aren't where we think. #MSWL

In general, I’m the wrong agent for stories that are driven primarily by action scenes. This is because I have the visual imagination of a turnip. Dialogue-driven? Send it on. #mswl

I have a weird bias against stories in which the hero is a gladiator who has to fight his way to the grand prize in the arena. I loved Thor: Ragnarok, but I think this plot generally works better as a movie than a book. #mswl

I'd really love a rip-roaring history of book publishing, for example. #mswl

This #mswl is for non-fiction-- I love business history. I'd like some fun business history for a popular audience. #twitterstorians, where are you?

By the way, I want to represent more history for a popular audience (hint, hint) #MSWL

Sorry, I don't take on clients on the basis of a novella! #mswl

I don't represent historical fiction-- sorry! #mswl
