The New Yorker @NewYorker
Sobbing near the dry goods, Michelle Zauner asks herself, “Am I even Korean anymore if there’s no one left in my life to call and ask which brand of seaweed we used to buy?” nyer.cm/makGPd6"We don’t talk about it. There’s never so much as a knowing look. We sit here in silence, eating our lunch. But I know we are all here for the same reason. We’re all searching for a piece of home, or a piece of ourselves."
What a beautiful, powerful read. #MSWL

Authors!
I'm looking to acquire romances featuring dark and tasty homecomings, such as a protagonist having left in disgrace, went to war, was sent to jail...
How do they get their HEAs??

I'm feeling inspired by all the love for romcoms lately! Throwing an #MSWL out there--I'd LOVE to find a fresh, modern, quirky YA romance. I adored ELEANOR & PARK and DUMPLIN'--stories that keep it real AND keep you smiling, ideally ❤️ #querytrenches #amquerying #amediting

Watched the US gymnastics championships tonight (SIMONE 😍), and it reminded me how much I want a MG or YA (hs or college) sports book. Gymnastics. Swimming. Volleyball. Track. Cheerleading. Etc. As long as it's voicey and character driven, send it my way! #MSWLAnd if we're talking dream books, anyone remember Gotta Kick It Up! ? Give me the fresh, #ownvoices YA version of that. #MSWL

I would love to see something like that! #MSWL
