Hey publishing, can someone do RRP but for Goosebumps style MG horror? Different diverse author for every book? Yes? Please?

I want this VERY BADLY. #MSWL

I would be so interested if there was a Chinese journalist who wanted to do a deep-dive true crime and sociocultural analysis of this case. #MSWL

#WritingCommunity, I always hear from editors who want sprawling, epic, family sagas. I TOO want one of those, especially one that’s from a marginalized author subverting the genre a bit and giving me all the feels. If you have this, PLEASE query me! #AmQuerying #MSWL

I really want to see a Halloween comic of a ghost desperately trying to haunt a chronically ill person who is completely unfazed by sudden chills, growling noises, and finding things in a completely different place from where they thought they left them #neisvoid

What’s the one unsolved mystery you most want answers to in your lifetime?

I’m cheating bc it’s MY prompt.

1. What happened to Asha Degree?
2. What happened to the Beaumont Children?
3. Who the HELL was the Freeway Phantom?

I'm just saying, but all these unsolved stories are *exactly* the kind of deep-dive queries I want to see in my inbox. True crime, fiction based on these, whatever. It's my catnip. #MSWL

Watching Vampires vs. the Bronx. Getting Lost Boys meets Buffy meets The Chi vibes. It. Is. Perfect.

Dana Murphy @manadurphy

any lit fic motherfuckers looking for a chilling short story premise: there is a waifish reformation-lite model that has been following me around the internet via targeted ads for years and I just realized that she looks so familiar bc she is from my hometown

Oh damn, I want this book. #MSWL

I'm tired of beautiful teen superheroes. I'm ready for a 43 year old superhero who has to sew her kid a ladybug costume AND save Detroit AND come up with something for the neighborhood bake sale.

The amazing camouflage of the great grey owl. Over the course of its evolution, any gene that happened to make the owl a little less visible had a greater chance of being passed on. The gradual accumulation of such genes led to the near-perfect camouflage we see today. pic.twitter.com/ubbBqmLCfJ

The glowworms @theglowworms

"Ghost apples" in the Fruit Ridge area of Kent County, Michigan, occur when freezing rain envelops rotting apples before they fall and the apples turn pulpy and slip out but the icy shells are still left hanging on the tree.

I feel like someone has probably written a story about a poltergeist who haunts misogynists until they are insensate with terror but I can’t remember who.

If this isn't out there yet, I want it. #MSWL
