I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k. Really not sure what to make of this (The real number is $45k)

#MSWL crossover Non-Fiction re: Financial Literacy & for youngish people. We can call it EARNIN' & BURNIN' and I'm only sort of half kidding here...

Re-Read @BCMorrow 's CHERISH FARRAH recently. I challenge anyone to come up with more a chilling suspense. This has been both an #MSWL and an Author Appreciation post.

I'll never not love & rep Children's books, but I am hungry for Adult titles in the up market genre-adjacent spaces; Suspense, Mystery, Speculative, SFF. Recent (to me) favorites include Marlon James, Lucy Foley, Katherine Arden, Kate Racculia, Britt Bennett, N.K. Jemisin. #MSWL

Agents, I would love to see more adult subs! I'm looking for upmarket book club fiction. If you have the next Kiley Reid, Raven Leilani, Celeste Ng, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Brit Bennett, Camille Pagán, Asha Lemmie, or any other authors who write in this space, send my way! #MSWL

I meant, who wouldn't #MSWL this list?

Early morning publishing thought: I want a children’s Horror imprint. Like all the creepy MG and YA. Maybe get a big name or two to launch the imprint while also giving marginalized voices the chance at having a popular horror series like Goosebumps or Fear Street.

I'm afraid of the The Faustian Deal I would agree to if it meant a Goosebumps or Fear Street featuring characters and authors who have been historically barred from the genre *and* the in-house support to knock it out. #MSWL
