im still off twitter but had an #mswl for agents: a book on the evolution of "I'm so sorry." How did it come to be considered the appropriate response for everything from stepping on someone's toe to comforting your friend who got dumped, to death and natural disaster?

#mswl also memoir/narrative nonfic that braids together research with personal experience. Kind of like 'The Crane Wife' essay, but a book, meets LAB GIRL. Extra points if it's about marine life because we all kind of wanted to be marine biologists when we were younger didnt we?

another age old #mswl that I cannot believe has not been written yet: PLEASE send me a novelization of Frida Kahlo's life by a Mexican woman writer

#mswl (for agents) I'm looking for magical realism all along the spectrum from THE NIGHT CIRCUS to Helen Oyeyemi. I'm also looking for funny novels with sharp teeth and voicey novels with international settings (beyond UK, though those are of course welcome)

#mswl Also, very specific but throwing it out into the world just in case: a novel or narrative history about the relationship between Josephine Baker and Frida Kahlo
Replying to @mad2034

omg this is a combination of my two #mswl! If I am interpreting the bible correctly I believe this means you will be both morally and spiritually obligated to sell it to me.🥳

If you've put together a P&L for debut fiction by a woman in the last 5 years, you know it's true. The success of these books has made my path in publishing possible (imaginable!) and I'm so damn grateful for all of them. #MSWL nyti.ms/2oRijd3
