i learned about nüshu, a Chinese script that only women could write and understand, a long time ago but ran across it again in a reading today and now i can't stop thinking about it. where's the SFF treatment of this? the possibilities!

nüshu magic—ink witches sending spells and messages through hidden script that changes on the page, empires crumbling on the strength of a carefully wrought character, sworn sisters taking vengeance for their own—I want every iteration #MSWL

-Queer historical fiction, preferably stories based off real people
-Disabled characters who aren't "inspirational" and who don't "overcome" their disability
-Disabled fantasy/scifi/action characters who use their assistive devices to fight crime/be badasses

I’m craving a beach read. A summer book NOT about WASPS. A summer community we haven’t read about before. #MSWL

Writers! I'm looking for story ideas about black fraternities, sororities, unique subcultures, secret societies or elite enclaves that exist within HBCUS. This is pretty niche, so I'm open to any one-of-a-kind ideas within this setting @WritersofColor genelle.levy@gmail.com

And I would read books about these things. #mswl

Here are just SOME of the things on my #mswl in 2019 (but I of course often fall in love with the thing I didn't know I was looking for)... (1/13)

If you're querying MG or YA, here is a good sense of my #mswl for 2019! But of course one of the best feelings is falling in love with the story I didn't know I needed, so please consider submitting to me even if you're not sure if it's on my wish list!

I'm seeing a lot of #queries with characters dealing w/ #mentalillness, which is something I ask for, however, I must make a note: the story should NOT just focus on this character's emotional journey--- there must be PLOT and STAKES. Let's be more creative #writers!

I also want to add to this.. don't let the #mentalillness define your book. Just like you wouldn't want an illness to define you. #querytip #pubtip #amwriting #MSWL
