The pitch: YA mystery anthology narrated by the witnesses/suspects written by all different authors in different styles. BLACKOUT meets “The Afterparty.” #MSWL

I'm looking for a sizzling hot UF or paranormal that's 75K or under. Bonus points if it has two or more types of paranormals. If you have one, please send it my way! #MSWL

My kid is playing with my calculator and showed me a random 10 digit number and said: "MOM THIS IS THE LAST NUMBER" with awe and reverence. So I'm going to need that SF novel one day, too. #mswl

New York Times Opinion @nytopinion

"Laziness is more than the absence or avoidance of work; it’s also the enjoyment of lazing in the sun, or in another’s arms," writes Elliot Kukla, a rabbi who provides spiritual care to people who are grieving, dying, ill or disabled. nyti.ms/3GgtBgH

“Shh, Abba,” he says. “Hills don’t move or talk . . . they just lie still and grow things.”

This. This is #MSWL. Give me a lazy book, that doesn’t demand hard work or trying. Give me a book about how it’s okay to take breaks.

I think I haven't mentioned what I'm looking for in a while: thrillers for adults and romance/rom-com for adults that have fresh hooks. Upmarket fiction from underrepresented perspectives. I am not open to expanding my children's list at the moment. #MSWL

As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:

-intersectional feminist and environmentally conscious themes
-activism
-LGBTQIA+ characters (esp. trans, bisexual, and asexual youth)

Hello my nonfiction writing friends! I have a TON of #mswl tweets for you this morning, so buckle up.

I'm working on a big, updated nonfiction #mswl post for my NF writing friends, but, in the meantime, this thread gives an idea of the types of projects I'll be looking for in 2022. Send 'em if you got 'em.

✨Twisty thrillers that border on horror and delve into the dark depths of the human psyche in new and interesting ways.
✨Give me all the firsts: love, heartbreak, menstruation, sex, loss.
✨Chemistry that can't be denied—even if the that chemistry is initially fueled by hate.
