On my love of "The Castle in the Sky," and other films of Hayao Miyazaki, of @StudioGhibli: bit.ly/2LInyJt. I'll be re-opening to queries 8/1, but if anyone has a story that is, in any way, reminiscent of the heart here, I want it. #MSWL

I'm joining the huge @thrillerwriters pre-festivities: If you're attending, + are writing a thriller, crime novel, or suspense, you have full-blown green light permission to QUERY ME NOW PLEASE (via email): bit.ly/2p3a5iO. Ignore closure. Desperate. #MSWL #thrillerfest

I'm writing a blog post about geniuses. Said blog post is forthcoming. One little case study that I have are the dancers of Riverdance, with whom I was obsessed as a child: bit.ly/1XfOKzL. <-- Check it out. Genius Irish tap dancing. Only goes to say: If you have... (1/2)...a novel about Irish tap dancing, or just tap dancing, or about geniuses (high IQ, giftedness, child prodigies, etc.), please EMAIL ME. <-- #MSWL Please. I'll do anything. Think CURIOUS INCIDENT featuring the world's newest, coolest geek. Thanks.

Bria Sandford @blsandford
Pride and Prejudice, except the Bennets are trying to marry off their large adult sonsBria! This sounds excellent. I'm going to put this on my #MSWL. If someone wants to write this novel, I'll take it, and then Bria will have to figure out how to persuade Penguin Random House to acquire it on her non-fiction list. 🤨

Faber & Faber @FaberBooks
Hear @grahamfarmelo interviewing some of the great names in science and mathematics in his podcast series to accompany his new book The Universe Speaks in Numbers soundcloud.com/faberbooks/set… pic.twitter.com/bcgsiVilbiNice. This sounds utterly genius. Do I love good popular maths & sciences. #MSWL -- again, if anyone knows of or is an academic in some innovative research that could find a home on the popular/trade market, I'm interested in learning more.

E.G. Wilson @egwilsonauthor
@WeronikaJanczuk @alyssammiele @billieeilish Are you looking for musician characters, @WeronikaJanczuk? Because I have something there. Or rather, two somethings -- two muso best friends in a three-person spy unit. (Not sure if you'd prefer this in a DM? + I know you're swamped.)Well, I love music--but this was a total @alyssammiele #MSWL! I'll take a look at anything, anytime. [And will work for nine hours straight with contemporary acoustic music in the background to help me concentrate. That's all ya need to know about W.'s music tastes. 🤨]
Literary Agent
Also, today I had the beauty of a privilege of coffee'ing it up with @alyssammiele, who sent me chasing after @billieeilish [context: #MSWL--a book featuring music]. Dang, lady--what beats. 😎 The public ought check this out: bit.ly/2MdHKVb.

Christian Sahner @ccsahner
Thanks to @AARWeb and @ReadingReligion for a great review of Christian Martyrs under Islam: “This is an excellent and balanced book that I highly recommend for scholars and advanced students in every field related to the Middle East.” @PrincetonUPress readingreligion.org/books/christia…Had the luck of starting—+ well on track to finishing—this terrific account of martyrdom under Islam; another example of a #MSWL NF for this agent in love with research. Hagiographies are studies of exp.; v. interesting to see personal/communal exps. contextualized historically.
Literary Agent
A last thought for the eve, before W. descends into her multi-story-deep reading cavern. One #MSWL for NF: a recent acq. linked me to this 'practical philosophers' project' of @ReD_Associates, which aids biz theory: amzn.to/30EHuSu. Would love a project like this for me!
Literary Agent
Had the chance to send some feedback on a #memoir earlier today, and it prompted some thoughts on memoir-writing: bit.ly/2SbMCYW. I'd love to find a beautiful one, so do send #queries, please. #MSWL
Literary Agent
UniversalSuperStar @SuperStarAuthor
Are you a #literary #agent that is looking to publish new authors? Or do you know of someone (a friend maybe, that works in the field) and that is currently accepting queries in the genre of romance drama? Let me know. #Author #LuckyBreak #AmQuerying #WritersLife #mswl #booksAlways happy to look @ romance dramas on this end! #MSWL
Literary Agent
I also happen to have a totally empty #query inbox as of 1.00am EST, and--two months into reading #manuscripts--still am on the hunt for a good thriller, women's fiction, and adult #fantasy and #scifi. I love good espionage, puzzles, and coding, & excellent female heroes. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Amy J. @AmyJohnson895
@WeronikaJanczuk Wondering if you're interested in YA dystopian/post-apocalyptic dealing with AI and a concept I call "human-zoos". I remember seeing a tweet once vaguely referencing something MSWL related. #mymemoryisgarbageI am willing to look at anything, including YA dealing with AI! Execution is most important for this one. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Have you heard that Markus Zusak has a new book forthcoming, a decade after THE BOOK THIEF? <-- This book blew my mind, and it's on my #MSWL to find something akin to it. And who wouldn't love the next M. Zusak? Details about his BRIDGE OF CLAY are here: bit.ly/2y9ylVa.

Random House @randomhouse
We're going live with @jodipicoult in a few minutes! Tune in here for live-coverage of her event with @bakerkline about her new novel, A SPARK OF LIGHT. On sale tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/gfl1rBFUc1I remember when I first read @jodipicoult's MY SISTER'S KEEPER, years ago, and it rocked me--such a nuanced, intimate portrayal of the impact of an ethical question/crisis. So excited for the next novel, and please do send me anything you have in Picoult's vein here. #MSWL
Literary Agent
I'm #MSWL-ing for re-tellings (#adult or #YA) of myths, folktales, or fairytales. Always. Bring it. More. Had the chance to look at #queries and pages for an @OpAwesome6 #passorpages, and had lots to say: bit.ly/2QisRya. I encourage you all to think through m'#querytip!

What is an agent thinking about when s/he's reading your query and first 250? Check out @OpAwesome6's newest #PassOrPages excerpts, on retellings of myths, folktales, and fairy tales (which I love! send if you have!): bit.ly/2NJgfDh. #queries #querytip #query #YA #MSWL

Has everyone seen the trailer for *Mary Poppins Returns*? If not, it's an absolute must: bit.ly/2D7ARjL. I'd absolutely love a #novel that captures something of the vibrant imagination, color, humor, and family life portrayed here! #MSWL
