What does an agent mean when they use the #mswl hashtag?

There was a Doubleday bookstore in the Barbizon Hotel and I desperately want a historical romance (1930s-50s) set there. #mswl

#Thread:

Aight so boom 💥. I see this house listing on @zillow. I recognize it immediately. I’ve seen it during my walks in Brooklyn. The price tag is WILD. I’m wondering, “Why is this so much $$?”

(If you know the house...don’t give it away until I’m done with the thread. pic.twitter.com/0bnmqFP3dX

#mswl oh yes (but not the part about the listing itself. Read the thread--it's amazing!--but you'll get it then)

Im sorry but Bill Burr’s accent in star wars implies some sort of space Boston

I don’t need any more Star Wars books but I have to say I’m intrigued by “space Boston” so #mswl

In the next few years, someone is going to write the High Fidelity of videogames.

Funny how you never hear about the dad ghosts endlessly fixing odds and ends around a haunted house.

I'd read this graphic novel. #mswl

Genelle Levy @GenelleL

Writers! I'm looking for story ideas about black fraternities, sororities, unique subcultures, secret societies or elite enclaves that exist within HBCUS. This is pretty niche, so I'm open to any one-of-a-kind ideas within this setting @WritersofColor genelle.levy@gmail.com

And I would read books about these things. #mswl
