My 13-year-old brother has been cast in his school production of Mamma Mia. It’s him and 16 girls. He’s playing all three dads. I’m dead.This is hilarious. Will he switch back and forth between characters Jekyll & Hyde-style? Switch hats?
Also, this is totally the kind of story I’d add to my #mswl. I’m super picky about theater stories these days, but I love this idea.

In all the endless breathless fictionalized takes on Jack the Ripper, have we ever done the one where the reason he disappeared was because a team of vengeful Victorian sex workers systematically hunted him down, took him out and dumped his body in the Thames?

A hook hooks the reader, sometimes it's a way to distinguish the cover, sometimes it just grabs readers. A family quarantined for seven days together is a great hook SEVEN DAYS OF US. A husband who sells a house while his wife is away is great--OUR HOUSE #MSWLA mother who, in her will, leaves the stipulation that her daughter must complete a life list before receiving her inheritance--THE LIFE LIST. These are a few examples of big hooks from books I read this year. #MSWL

This is such an industry term though & I'm aware that those new to publishing, author or otherwise, don't always have a grasp of what is meant by that, or how big a hook really needs to be. #amwritingA hook hooks the reader, sometimes it's a way to distinguish the cover, sometimes it just grabs readers.

Dear folks who write historicals,There was a lone (known) survivor on the Titanic who was of African descent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ph…
I'm not saying you have to re-write this story into an HEA. I'm saying you can.
I have never wanted a #mswl more in my professional life.

Pies. Just because.#yourewelcome southernliving.com/desserts/pies/… via @southern_living pic.twitter.com/rFebyRTn7RDid I mention that I'm always looking for manuscripts with a focus on pie? #mswl any genre. And no, I'm not hungry. Editing a manuscript with pie, had to research something... and here we are.

Publishers, please consider buying more queer Harry Potter-ish books because wow do I get a lot of requests for them on the LGBTQReads Tumblr.Also, you really need Sapphic YA vampires. Pretty sure @whimsicallyours will write them for you if you ask nicely.
I am MORE THAN WILLING to consider buying ALL OF THESE #mswl *stares at inbox*
