Pretty much my only huge, overwhelming prose #MSWL right now is a manuscript that feels like ACCA-13 and I feel like for this to happen I will have to either wait a lifetime or one of my authors will surprise me next week with a completed MS made to order

Artist Alley yesterday plus ending the day with the @RHKidsGraphic panel has me SO pumped for more graphic novels 😍😍 So that’s my one exception to being closed to queries right now! Send me all your pitches and proposals, from early reader through adult (no memoir, tho)! #MSWL

Alexandra Rowland ✨ @_alexrowland

Her fiance is introduced to us in a FOUR MINUTE LONG ethereally beautiful slow-motion dance sequence where he is wearing immaculate white and doing fan tricks and there's flower petals falling all around

Thank the lord for this thread bc I needed a new show to binge in the heatwave! And beefy badass warrior girl comes home to marry a delicate nobleman known for his beautiful fan dance is EXTREMELY MY JAM (#mswl)

Atlas Obscura @atlasobscura

As it turns out, a lot of avian species—from parrots and penguins to owls and nightjars—glow in ways we can’t see. trib.al/mXY8zas

I have no idea how the heck a glowing bird would feature in a book BUT I am willing to learn so please, #mswl for all odd, eerie, magical animal traits that are somehow actually legit (or based on a real thing)
