Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica

As a woman in business, I read business books & listen to podcasts & seek out those by women. But I’m discouraged that most are still written by white men. Is there a belief that the audience for these books will only read white men?

I’d like to see more books by POC & women that are written for ALL business owners & entrepreneurs. #mswl just because a book is written by a woman why do we target only women in the subject?

HELLO, STARRED REVIEW FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 😱😱😱

"...Weymouth infuses her characters with a rich panoply of emotions set against wartime England. A shining thread of hope and healing mitigates the book’s heartbreak and underlying trauma..."

publishersweekly.com/9780062696878

This book sounds great (and perfect for fans of @EBain)! Definitely anything like this is on my #mswl for this fall! Historical with a magical twist? Yes, please!

Wait. Entry-level.

Does that mean there are....managerial witches? CEO witches? Director Witches? HOW DOES A WITCH GET PROMOTED. I AM IMMEDIATELY INTRIGUED.

The practical magic of Joan Aiken, the greatest children’s writer you’ve likely never read: nyer.cm/uffQewY pic.twitter.com/CuA7a9E260

One of my favorite books as a child was NIGHT FALL, by Joan Aiken. I read it over and again.

I love thrilling stories of suspense about secret pasts and repressed memories. #MSWL

It's been around for a bit, but @pacylin ’s TEDx talk is still worth watching. And her point about windows and mirrors applies not just to kidlit but to all lit. youtube.com/watch?v=_wQ8wi… 1/2

Replying to @AgentJessicaA

I’m open to a whole range of #ownvoices books, but I especially want to see more books featuring Asian and adoptee characters. I dream of finding a Vietnamese culinary journey one day. #MSWL 2/2

When I've been telling agents I want to see positive climate sci-fi I mean stories talking about tech like this #mswl

Co-signing. Show me characters falling in love for the fourth time, with all the warts, while quietly and competently figuring out the galactic war/revolution/dystopia. #MSWL twitter.com/lindseyhall17/…

If I were to sign a YA right now, and it's tight, it would have to be really unique. As always...commercial, readable, inventive, aspirational, romantic and/or strong-relationship driven, "knows where it comes from but knows where it's going" type stuff. #mswl

· 30 Aug 2018

I really do need more MG. @JoshuaSLevy needs friends. (I mean, he has friends. Just not on my list.) Voicey, plot-driven, strong concepts, heaps of fun or cleverness. Nothing depressing. Heartfelt, yes. But not depressing. #mswl
