I recently learned that Scrub Daddies are a choice product for crime scene cleaners. I also recently learned there are crime scene cleaning influencers. This current era of social media is fascinating because everything is content™️.Not that I work on graphic novels or crime fiction much, BUT.... someone clearly needs to write a novel about a crime scene cleaner who cracks cases and rises to influencer fame! #mswl

1921: four trans activists stand outside Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science, 12 years before Nazis stormed the facility and burned its books. The photo is among the most captivating I've colorized/restored from the pre-war era. More from @gwenners: ebar.com/story.php?ch=n… pic.twitter.com/qHKVVPbxw2There’s a book here. #MSWL

"I love page-turning thrillers, and want to work with people who want to build their careers around writing them. I'm really looking for a hook here. I would love to see a fresh take on the genre from a POV we haven't seen featured."

#MSWL I had to return Leila La Brujita Perfecta to the library and now have a vacant hole for PB stories that bring on all the whimsy of Flavia Z. Drago's work.
If you're a BIPOC author/illustrator with a dummy or working on a dummy that can fill this, I want to hear from you!

I’m really on the hunt for some smart, compelling non-fiction. I saw this deal reported today and it’s right up my alley. Science AND revenge? What’s not to love? #MSWL

I know there are more articles coming out about the children who grew up as content farms for their parents and having all sorts of feelings about it.But there's been little, at least to my knowledge, policy put in place around this. And this is only gonna get worse.

I think there is a discussion to have here about this and I have thoughts on ways to present it but I’m curious to see if anyone is already working on this in novel form 👀
