I mean #MSWL honestly.

I'm particularly obsessed with the idea of a sanitation worker helming a thriller, which I saw in a tweet a few days ago and foolishly didn't save.

What are your other ideas for careers that would make a good vantage point for suspense fiction?

#mswl

I often say I want unexpected suspense. Here are some careers that could be a fun perspective from which to dig into a mystery instead of police detective as MC
-rental car agency employee
-sanitation worker
-UPS driver (or bus driver, or Lyft driver...)
-mail carrier

If anyone sends this to V, y’all better send to me too and expect the most epic of dance battles to happen. #mswl

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

My actual ultimate #MSWL is a YA fictionalized story of Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff—two female world class MMA fighters who meet and fall in love and become the sport’s #couplegoals.

All right, I’m putting my stake in the ground. I want your #own #poc YA protest meet-cutes. I want them all. #MSWL

Top of my wish list for manuscript acquisitions (and freelance jobs) are romantic comedies by #ownvoices authors featuring BIPOC protagonists who make each other laugh.

Writers, SEND ME THIS NOVEL! #MSWL

But, uh, #MSWL

If you are querying a MG or YA graphic novel, especially if you are an author-illustrator, I'd love to see it. #PitMad #BVM #MSWL

So much #mswl

Reading submissions this morning to the charming soundtrack of @dadimakesmusic 🎶

Wants: realism, love, happiness, comedy, danger, the world as a bigger place, hope
Do not want: death, grief, boring character journeys, boring characters, stories I have heard before #MSWL

Couldn't agree more, @nytimesbooks:

CATHERINE HOUSE, by @lissiethomas is a terrific read, gorgeously written, full of mystery and intrigue. I ignored my family and read it cover to cover. Could not put it down!

(P.S. I'd love to find a project like it in my #query box. #MSWL) twitter.com/lissiethomas/s…

And yes #PitMad #MSWL #WritingCommunity if you are querying me about #NF I'm looking for #popculture #Science #Space & #HA as well. Don't forget to include your proposal along with your query to my attn dca@doncongdon.com

#MSWL

Earlier this year this was just me hedging my bets, but seriously - send me your abolitionist works, I want to see if we can do a teamwork. I'm behind on submissions bc of my health, but trust, I'll read it. 💛#mswl
