Jessica Faust @BookEndsJessica

Earlier this year I put out into the Universe that I want to see more nonfiction at @bookendslit & the Universe responded. @AgentJessicaA & @wensday95 & I have taken on & sold some amazing & exciting new nonfiction projects. #MSWL

We have entered the cookbook market! Which is funny that it's taken so long since both @AgentJessicaA & I are passionate cooks and foodies. Please send @AgentJessicaA all your cookbook ideas. I'll take all your cocktail book ideas (although I know @AgentJessicaA will too). #mswl

Everyone talks about the "Bury your gays" trope but what about "Dig up your gays"? Where are all the queer necromancers?

#PEASPROUTCHEN MAKES @HornBook's LIST OF STRANGE AND MAGICAL MIDDLE-GRADE
In truth, PEASPROUT is a fantasy with no actual magic, but it makes up for that in strangeness because, let’s face it, that’s me. Congrats @wenmass @rebstead @EMentior @Hey_buster tinyurl.com/yawjvtyp

@HornBook says #PeasproutChen by @HenryLienAuthor "dazzles" and includes it on a roundup of strange and magical middle-grade!

Also, "strange and magical" is my #mswl forever.

Jessica Wade @Jess_Wade

I once taught a writing workshop and created a fake query letter riddled with mistakes for them to critique and not a single person called me on the fact that my query had 100% stolen the plot of Super Mario Brothers 1.

So I guess my #mswl should be "things that 100% steal the plot of Super Mario Brothers 2" ?? Yes ????

bread fraud @tanklesbian

listen to me. listen. you can just not include homophobia in your fantasy worldbuilding. it can just not be a thing. you don't have to provide justification for it. you can just have some gay characters living their lives without being persecuted. a revolutionary concept

PLEASE DO THIS! So tired of the queerness in a manuscript being seen as “odd” #mswl

But when agent screws up, authors sometimes have trust issues.I get it, totally. Please don't hesitate to query me & talk opwnly if you were recently impacted by 1 of these events where an agent didn't do their job according to industry standards.I would love to see your work. 2/

#MSWL Adult and YA fantasy, sci fi, romance. Picture books featuring diversity, food, or fun word play. Middle grade based on unique mythologies, and always, diversity across all spectrums including LGBTQ, authors/characters of color, and neurodiversity. Queryme.online/naomidavis

Add this to my #MSWL! Make it a science fiction romance and I'm all in! facebook.com/epubagent/post…

Reminder: I am currently closed to queries. I'll announce when I reopen and pin that tweet, so be sure to check this space before asking.

Also, I sometimes tweet #MSWL while I'm on query hiatus as a "for future reference" type thing.

To go along with this morning's tweet, here's July's visual #mswl. Send me projects like these on my TBR list!

#amquerying writers, I only have 3 queries left! Send more! I'm currently looking for adult mystery, romance (esp historical & diverse historical), women's fiction, and upmarket projects, as well as nonfiction on the topics of food, material culture, & social history. #mswl

Watching one of my favorite childhood movies—My Louisiana Sky. Would love to find a #MG in the same vein! #MSWL #HistoricalMG

I love:
• fantasy that sweeps me so deep into another world I forget who I really am
• sci fi that makes me question my entire reality
• the above, in such an explosive/expansive way transitioning back to real life feels impossible
• characters who linger beside me for weeks

Reminder: #mswl
