Why can't we support a woman for president. We expect women to raise a family but not a nation? twitter.com/nytimes/status…Can I please, #MSWL, have an adult fiction written documentary style (as if memoir maybe, or interview style like SLEEPING GIANTS) where a woman becomes president and overcomes all the crap.

GREAT BRITISH BAKEOFF X CHECK PLEASE!: As the only transgender contestant on his favorite televised baking competition, Blaise Thompson wants his baking to stand out while he keeps his gender identity private until he falls for another competitor. #PitMad #CR #A #R #OwnVoices pic.twitter.com/QrBaHpo33rThis hits on so many of my #MSWL I'd love to take a look.

Cults of personality.Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

Sirens Conference @sirens_con
Question Eight:What’s an under-used villain trope, or a trope usually attached to male villains, that you’d like to see explored with female and nonbinary villains?

@leslie_zampetti These ideas are awesome (I'd SO love to read them!), and also, I've yet to see a mainstream YA romance with two MO characters, or Conservative characters, or really almost anything mainstream without a bar/bat mitzvah, inter-faith relationship, or the Holocaust.I know! Maybe you’re writing something? 😉
I’d love to see contemporary Jewish YA without the b’nei mitzvot or Holocaust or even anti-Semitism. I am up for inter-faith relationships tho - if done in a fresh way. 😊 #MSWL

Westminster Dog Show @WKCDOGS
Clocking in at 29.35 seconds, P!NK and Jennifer Crank became the 2020 Masters Agility Champions. Do you think you could keep up? pic.twitter.com/XpNboI7NbsI want the MG or YA book about a junior handler in dog shows.
My family comes from the dog show world, so it's near and dear to my heart. #MSWL

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
