The introduction elaborates on the “acknowledgment”: It describes Dana Canedy as a diversity hire, criticizes S&S for canceling books by Milo and Josh Hawley, and includes this email sent by Hawley’s editor on January 5 pic.twitter.com/eMjk3j1qus

Replying to @alex_shephard

An entire book of an author shit talking their publisher, published by that publisher. #MSWL

I couldn’t write a morally perfect character even if I wanted to. My work isn’t meant to be an instruction manual for your life or a compass for your heart. Wild how much stories get critiqued thru that lense, more and more it seems

This is why I’m always seeking characters who know what they’re about to do is wrong, and they do it anyway. #mswl

Just FYI if your YA manuscript feels like it could have a Aykut Aydoğdu cover? Please sir, #mswl.

In 1860, a youth abolitionist network called “the Wide Awakes” sprung up in cities across the north. They would show up uninvited at politicians’ homes in the middle of the night — w/ brass bands, lit torches & serenades — to demand support for their antislavery cause pic.twitter.com/ImghIqBf6H

thinkin about getting a @normalpeople tattoo nbd

srsly tho: this show wrecked me. I was left feeling like I hadn't even watched a romance, but instead a story about the beautifully painful life and death of Youth. A story so simple, so right under our noses, felt revelatory. "Every love story is a ghost story" #MSWL

Just wrote this in a bio for @SCBWI and thought I’d share #MSWL ✌️

Finished copies looking good! Just a reminder: my #MSWL includes all kinds of MG nonfiction. Gimme.

Finally saw Midsommar last weekend. Still thinking about this scene.

What I loved about it is that the horror is always out in the open. There's no dark. You can't turn away. And what's scariest sometimes is what you can see and not ignore.

Would your novel fit in well with the @A24 catalog of singular films? #MSWL

WATCHMEN was as close to a perfect season as you can get. Aren't many of those. An astonishing accomplishment. I don't need more of it -- I hope if they choose to do more it is because of a vision that refuses to be contained to obscurity and demands to be made manifest.

Good morning if you have "A vision that refuses to be contained to obscurity and demands to be made manifest" that's my #MSWL.

#MSWL gods, send me more like #FrontDesk 👀

Alex Slater @abuckslater

What a week. Gods of #MSWL: send me YA & MG that burns down white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia. Books to beat back the racists. Send me what terrifies them the most: your heart & humanity. More empathy today. Less intolerance tomorrow.

my forever #MSWL

I’m wishing for creepy #MG, serious literary #YA, and graphic novels especially by marginalized author/illustrators! #MSWL

I’d like to see more #YA in my inbox that addresses the opioid crisis. #mswl
