When the #MSWL hits you upside the head and you have to shout it out.Finished WHEN WOMEN WERE DRAGONS--loved--and this cover copy is everything #MSWL "[Title] exposes a world that wants to keep women small--and examines what happens when they rise en masse and take up the space they deserve" -- more of this please!

My kids go to a tiny international school in a tiny Dutch town. I feel so bad for the NYC new kid who started today. She looked so grown up, so tough, so ready for high school issues and it's just 13 kids in her class who are about as 'street' as a dormouse🤣 She must be all... pic.twitter.com/Iyvn7UauIfOk I have to #mswl this, we see so many “new quiet kid at the big scary school” stories… I love this.

Hey writers! I won’t be able to participate in #SFFpit for long today, but I’m always on the lookout for engaging SFF in the YA and MG spheres.Here are some specific wish list items and how to reach me: 1/4
-character-driven YA sci-fi, especially if it explores a theme such as our relationship to technology or what it means to be human
-YA sci-fi blended with any other genre—sci-fi horror, sci-fi fantasy (I’d die for a YA Gideon the Ninth!), sci-fi mystery/thriller, etc.

#mswl Would love to receive #tarotcard or #oracle deck and guidebooks from experienced tarot readers with a nice online following. Or guides to using tarot. Open to ALL THEMES. BUT Who's written the Black woman's guide to tarot? Or tarot with a hoodoo theme? Send me all of that.

You can see my full Manuscript Wishlist here! I won't take anything animal-related off of it since this is by no means a permanent request and I would never say no to a *perfect* animal fit, but it's otherwise accurate 🙂:

I love me some animal books! You may have noticed quite a few in my announcements recently (and will notice more 👀). So excited as I am about them, for now I'm hoping to see some more human-centered submissions to rebalance my list! #MSWL

“Across the board I love stories that are told in unique formats, whether that be epistolary, e-epistolary, transcripts, a high concept POV, etc. If it’s slightly outside a traditional novel format or voice, send it my way!” @adriamgoetz #MSWL

#MSWL for when I re-open Sept 1:
nonfiction business, leadership, lifestyle, cookbooks, home decor, gift books, and picture books.
Platform matters but platform is sometimes more than social media numbers.

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole! pic.twitter.com/RobcZs7F9eI want a YA sci-if horror with this sound in it. #mswl

#MSWL A thriller set in an isolated town. If it is snowed in, or there is a flood or storm coming, even better.
