uh, #MSWL

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!

“Middle Grade: luscious fantasy based on myths/traditions from non-Western culture.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

And in other news: stay tuned for more SUPER exciting news about my authors Jon and Emily Jordan's THE WAR QUEENS about extraordinary women who led their nations in combat! #calltheelection #certifyTheVote #quotes #mswl #literaryagent #history #books #COVID19 #Covid_19

I'll be updating this thread over the next few days with #mswl thoughts and ideas as they occur to me, and I'll start with saying that if you have a western, especially a historical one featuring queer and/or BIPOC characters, please hit me up!

I realize the vagueness of this #mswl, but I adore Melissa McCarthy with my whole being and I'd love to see some subs featuring protagonists that live with the same kind of heart, humor, and joy.

Pssst—I’ve put my new #mswl featuring some shiny new categories up on the @HeadwaterLit site!

MC: *frantically looking for something in their room*

Alex: *sends message that MC left it in the kitchen*

MC: *grateful but refuses to show it* ALEX! Aren’t you supposed to NOT interfere???

Alex: What’s the point of watching you struggle??😭

Humor all around #MSWL

MC talking to themself or someone else: I’d really love to get ____

Agent: *helpfully sends links to sites that sell it*

MC: LEAVE. ME. ALONE. ALEX. Or I’ll expose you!

Agent: I’m just trying to help 🥺🥺

Genuine friendship eventually ensues. They meet in person someday #MSWL

Okay hear me out....YA novel w/ MC who somehow meets the FBI agent (or whatever group) assigned to monitor/watch MC (like how we all have one) and hilarity ensues. Agent is just trying to be helpful (like whenever MC is looking for something) and MC just so annoyed? #MSWL

“Something exploring ability/disability – #OWNVOICES non-fiction or fiction but my taste skews more commercial, not literary.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"Books that are devastating to put down" is literally in my #MSWL. Souvankham doesn't know me, nor that she so often speaks the words that are in my heart. 💜

I am VERY INTO the upcoming Kristen Stewart LGBTQIA+ Christmas movie and want to just drown myself in it. But I also want to read about bff Dan Levy finding love too; someone please give me a Dan Levy romcom. #MSWL

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Not only is this very true, but also “very pretty with plenty of gore, too,” is my forever #MSWL.

SAMEEEEEEEEEEEE HARDCORE #MSWL

#MSWL across genres for both (agented only)

This lovely young lady from Kentucky told me about "The Cornbread Mafia" today, and now all I want is a highly funny romp featuring this WILD group. #MSWL

There’s got to be a book in this somewhere, and I want it (thread) #MSWL
