"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Could someone please novelise this for me? I need this book. #MSWL

I’m genuinely refreshing Twitter for the first editor to tweet a dystopian #MSWL.

Would love to see literary fiction that subverts/explores wellness culture & millennial spirituality.
Give me CBD lattes, chakra aligning, astrological charts & salt caves✨🔮🌜#mswl

What am I looking for in submissions?

Something smack in the middle of the market with a totally unique voice. I try to be more specific when talking #MSWL but that's the truth.

#agenting

Hello Tuesday, and hello writers. I am hungry for more young adult and super hungry for middle grade submissions, too! If you're querying either, please consider sending your work way. Thank you! #mswl

Hello, I would love a picture book about Boaty McBoatface and its contributions to climate change research! #MSWL telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/06/1…

Noticed I've been receiving more subs about the circus and let me tell you I AM HERE FOR IT.

Fun fact: I am a rope aerialist. I perform in circus shows often. After reading, circus is my 2nd way of escapism.

Keep them coming! I'm loving all these different takes. Forever #mswl

So, yes!, I'm still open to WWII stories. But I really want to see a fresh perspective, so go out there and find the story that hasn't been told yet. #mswl

Or Sandra Bolzenius's GLORY IN THEIR SPIRIT, which tells the stories of four African American women who fought against the Army's segregation policies. #MSWL

And I'm open to nonfiction about WWII as well, especially books about the now forgotten women who played such a huge part in the War. #mswl

I think there are still a ton of stories we can tell with regard to the War's Pacific front. Sara Ackerman's books set in Hawaii during the War are great examples. #mswl

Rosella Postorino's AT THE WOLF'S TABLE, which tells the story of the women who were forced to act as Hitler's food tasters. #MSWL

So, what do I mean by a fresh perspective? Here are some examples. #mswl

Julie Orringer's THE FLIGHT PORTFOLIO, based on the true story of Varian Fry's attempt to save Jewish artists fleeing the Holocaust:

BUT, my #amquerying friends, you must show me a perspective on the War that's fresh and new and like nothing I've seen before to get me interested. If I feel like I can go to my local bookstore and easily pick up 10 books with a premise similar to yours, I'm going to pass. #mswl

So, let's talk about books set during WWII. Are there still a ton of them hitting the bookshelves every month? Yes. Am I a bit burned out on them? Also, yes. Am I completely closed to WWII queries? Of course not! #mswl

To watch Gauri Malar and Roshan Jayathilake playing with their 11-month-old daughter, you'd never guess that just 10 years ago they were mortal enemies. #MSWL #Srilanka bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…
