On my love of "The Castle in the Sky," and other films of Hayao Miyazaki, of @StudioGhibli: bit.ly/2LInyJt. I'll be re-opening to queries 8/1, but if anyone has a story that is, in any way, reminiscent of the heart here, I want it. #MSWL

I'm joining the huge @thrillerwriters pre-festivities: If you're attending, + are writing a thriller, crime novel, or suspense, you have full-blown green light permission to QUERY ME NOW PLEASE (via email): bit.ly/2p3a5iO. Ignore closure. Desperate. #MSWL #thrillerfest

Also: an update, for anyone who is curious: W. will re-open to #queries on 8/1, after three conferences here and catching up some archived manuscripts + queries. #MSWL, for then (save the date!), includes a great thriller, contemp. YA, and adult sci-fi. bit.ly/2p3a5iO

...a novel about Irish tap dancing, or just tap dancing, or about geniuses (high IQ, giftedness, child prodigies, etc.), please EMAIL ME. <-- #MSWL Please. I'll do anything. Think CURIOUS INCIDENT featuring the world's newest, coolest geek. Thanks.

Bria! This sounds excellent. I'm going to put this on my #MSWL. If someone wants to write this novel, I'll take it, and then Bria will have to figure out how to persuade Penguin Random House to acquire it on her non-fiction list. 🤨

Nice. This sounds utterly genius. Do I love good popular maths & sciences. #MSWL -- again, if anyone knows of or is an academic in some innovative research that could find a home on the popular/trade market, I'm interested in learning more.

Well, I love music--but this was a total @alyssammiele #MSWL! I'll take a look at anything, anytime. [And will work for nine hours straight with contemporary acoustic music in the background to help me concentrate. That's all ya need to know about W.'s music tastes. 🤨]

Also, today I had the beauty of a privilege of coffee'ing it up with @alyssammiele, who sent me chasing after @billieeilish [context: #MSWL--a book featuring music]. Dang, lady--what beats. 😎 The public ought check this out: bit.ly/2MdHKVb.

Had the luck of starting—+ well on track to finishing—this terrific account of martyrdom under Islam; another example of a #MSWL NF for this agent in love with research. Hagiographies are studies of exp.; v. interesting to see personal/communal exps. contextualized historically.

A last thought for the eve, before W. descends into her multi-story-deep reading cavern. One #MSWL for NF: a recent acq. linked me to this 'practical philosophers' project' of @ReD_Associates, which aids biz theory: amzn.to/30EHuSu. Would love a project like this for me!

Had the chance to send some feedback on a #memoir earlier today, and it prompted some thoughts on memoir-writing: bit.ly/2SbMCYW. I'd love to find a beautiful one, so do send #queries, please. #MSWL

Always happy to look @ romance dramas on this end! #MSWL

I also happen to have a totally empty #query inbox as of 1.00am EST, and--two months into reading #manuscripts--still am on the hunt for a good thriller, women's fiction, and adult #fantasy and #scifi. I love good espionage, puzzles, and coding, & excellent female heroes. #MSWL

I am willing to look at anything, including YA dealing with AI! Execution is most important for this one. #MSWL

Have you heard that Markus Zusak has a new book forthcoming, a decade after THE BOOK THIEF? <-- This book blew my mind, and it's on my #MSWL to find something akin to it. And who wouldn't love the next M. Zusak? Details about his BRIDGE OF CLAY are here: bit.ly/2y9ylVa.

I remember when I first read @jodipicoult's MY SISTER'S KEEPER, years ago, and it rocked me--such a nuanced, intimate portrayal of the impact of an ethical question/crisis. So excited for the next novel, and please do send me anything you have in Picoult's vein here. #MSWL

I'm #MSWL-ing for re-tellings (#adult or #YA) of myths, folktales, or fairytales. Always. Bring it. More. Had the chance to look at #queries and pages for an @OpAwesome6 #passorpages, and had lots to say: bit.ly/2QisRya. I encourage you all to think through m'#querytip!

Still hungering for a really wonderful #thriller (any! but if you've got a female-led one, send it without hesitation!), and some really good adult #fantasy and #scifi. In #YA, don't hesitate: contemporary, boy voices, romance. Anything NEW and FRESH and EPIC. #MSWL

What is an agent thinking about when s/he's reading your query and first 250? Check out @OpAwesome6's newest #PassOrPages excerpts, on retellings of myths, folktales, and fairy tales (which I love! send if you have!): bit.ly/2NJgfDh. #queries #querytip #query #YA #MSWL

Has everyone seen the trailer for *Mary Poppins Returns*? If not, it's an absolute must: bit.ly/2D7ARjL. I'd absolutely love a #novel that captures something of the vibrant imagination, color, humor, and family life portrayed here! #MSWL
