#MSWL for my NF writing friends. I am always, always open to stories about food and drink, especially those with a bit of a quirk to them like this!

They are a delight, please keep them coming! #mswl

#MSWL for my #amquerying nonfiction friends. I'm always looking for books on material culture like Lara Maiklem's MUDLARK, Kassia St. Clair's THE GOLDEN THREAD, and Glenn Adamson's FEWER, BETTER THINGS.

New Gothic Review @newgothicreview

In Trinidad, La Diablesse is a old crone who disguises herself as a beautiful woman to ensnare and kill travelers on the road. She’s always dressed in a old costume-like gown. However, she has one normal and one hoof leg, which gives her away. #FolkloreThursday @FolkloreThurs pic.twitter.com/1vojf15YJ0

I want one of my fellow South Asian authors to pen a cozy mystery series starring elderly desi aunties. Think of the punny title possibilities! CHAI AND PUNISHMENT. CHAAT THROUGH THE HEART. MASALA MOST FOUL.

Good morning #amquerying and #amwriting authors! #MSWL for an LGBTQ cozy mystery series, especially one aimed at a millennial readership. Do you have one? Send it!

Hi! Good morning! This is your semi-annual reminder that while I'm looking for diversity and own voices across the board, I am particularly interested in seeing submissions in the mystery and historical romance genres. Please send! #mswl

Roxi Horror 💀🌸 @roxiqt

An app like Tinder except instead of matching with living people, you match with ghosts that want your help to solve the mystery around how they died.

I cannot WAIT to read Emily Henry's BEACH READ, so this is your reminder that if you've got a laugh-out-loud rom-com, give me a shout! #MSWL

Feeling murdery, as always. Send me your books! Cozies, historical or contemporary mysteries, true crime, psychological suspense, thrillers. I'm open. #MSWL

I will always, always geek out over all kinds of #archaeology. Maritime archaeology? Yep. Experimental archaeology? Definitely. If you're working on a nonfiction book in any subdiscipline, I will always want to see it. #mswl

ML Brennan @BrennanML

I think what I'd really like right now is a cozy British village murder mystery show where Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen are elderly widower neighbors who bicker a lot about their gardens, and also solve crimes. And there's a super hot grandson who has to drive them around.

Do you write #HistoricalRomance ? Find out what the @HarlequinBooks Historical editors are looking for! bit.ly/2S96kX0

There's a lot of overlap here with my own historical romance #mswl. I have been begging for what feels like forever for a Regency centered on South Asian protags. And a 1950s historical romance? *swoons*

Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica

Some @bookendslit #MSWL for you. I'll add mine to Kim's: #ownvoices, women's fiction, upmarket/book club fiction, LGBTQ voices, suspense, thrillers, books set outside the US. twitter.com/BookEndsKim/st…

@bookendslit #mswl thread coming at you. I'd love to see more #ownvoices mystery and historical romance, upmarket / book club fiction, character-driven SF/F and horror, and nonfiction of all types!

Beverly Jenkins @authorMsBev

Adventures in Research land. Mexican woman who owned the biggest, baddest most elegant gambling house in Santa Fe, pre Texas. Mirrored walls. Elegantly clad working girls called Evening Angels. Not my story to tell but somebody run with this and make her a heroine. Please?!
