I’d really love for someone to query me with a book about golf legend John Shippen that is centered specifically around the 1896 U.S. Open. What a cool story. #mswl

Send me a proposal for a book that profiles a bunch of different YouTube success stories. I'd like to read about how people have used the platform to change their lives. #MSWL #WritingCommunity

A meeting today made me think: I’d LOVE to see a huge, sweeping pre-Columbian epic fantasy novel in my inbox.

New Luxury Hotel Will Be 200 Miles Up and $792,000 a Night (seems like a good setting for a suspense novel) #mswl apple.news/Af6vnDpZ7SKKJI…

Great meetings with @aejerman & @katieheit today! A key takeaway (hearing this a lot): we need more middle grade. Queries, please! #MSWL

A smart thriller that doesn't begin with a horrible murder. I am not a fan of gore, especially the gratuitous kind. #MSWL
