I have watched all of WandaVision in one day, and I. Need. More. #WandaVisionIf your WIP pairs a fun, wholesome, brightness with something dark and sinister bubbling below the surface, I want it. #mswl

Next year is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut. Really hungry for an #ownvoices kid archaeologist MG—bonus points for critique of how museums often steal artifacts! #mswlSame!
Fun fact: I did archeology before I came to publishing.
Archaeology stories welcome and appreciated—esp #MG!

Last night I had a dream where I was raving over the phone to a random writer about the sci fi market and how historically marginalized groups are underrepresented in the genre but Andy Weir can write like the same book twice?
So anyway, send me your sci fi.

Do you like data on trans ownvoices YA fiction?? Well, have I got the blog post for you!! I broke down some of the info from my ownvoices masterlist to see how the indies and the Big 5 are doing.(Spoiler alert: it's dismal, but it's improving) raystoeve.com/2020/01/17/who…
Shout out and huge thank you to Ray for their amazing research here!
We need more trans stories!
When I reopen to queries, I'd love to see your trans stories in any age range and genre, please!
