A storm-damaged tree at Durand-Eastman Park, Rochester, New York, is attracting a lot of attention due to it's resemblance to a famous local ghost named 'White Lady' pic.twitter.com/xHg7KpuU2L

#MSWL, especially in conjunction with the Bella in the Wych Elm project I’ve wanted for years!!!

Picture books

🦌Elle🎄Grittymas Is Coming🎄Gato🦌 @ellle_em

I want more small stories in epic settings

What I mean: fantasy worlds, galaxy-spanning space confederacies, magical kingdoms, living cities, etc. etc. etc. as settings but a focus on small stories within those settings

I’m still closed to queries, but when I reopen... 👇 #MSWL

Fantasy

I just listened to a story about The Svalbard Global Seed Vault in the Arctic Circle, and now I desperately want to read a SFF that features an intergalactic version of this amazing place. Maybe it’s a heist book?! #mswl

Microchimerism: where your mother's or children's cells live on in you & can help or hinder your health. Eg your child's fetal cells can repair your heart, prevent breast cancer & Alzheimer's; your mom's cells can prevent preeclampsia. #science #sciencefact twitter.com/newscientist/s…

This is *wild* to think about... (#mswl nonfiction for middle grade or YA readers)

Day 8 of #25DaysofMSWL part 1: I want a strong writer in the vein of Kit Frick, Laura Weymouth, Claire Legrand, Laura Taylor Namey. What is stand out about them is they have a eloquence in their writing and a high concept story. #MSWL

High Concept

Little Bummer Boy @vandroidhelsing

For thirty years, you've been confessing. Novel after novel, each of them containing a key detail: weapon, time, motive, even décor. Something that, to use the cliché, nobody else could possibly know.

They'll figure it out eventually. Until then, it's time for tea. pic.twitter.com/498yDHscQH

This article (nyti.ms/2rqf4LF) was a good reminder that a word nerd book is on my #MSWL. Something like Kory Stamper’s WORD BY WORD, perhaps, or something totally different.

Nonfiction

Just had a talk with one of my beloved editor friends and we’re both dying for some WOLVES. Not werewolves, but like Game of Thrones wolves in YA or MG. WHO HAS THIS? Because we need it. Desperately. #MSWL

Feeling very hungry for narrative non-fiction these days! Some 2018 non-fiction I have LOVED (but not repped): Educated (duh, who didn't?), All You Can Ever Know, The Personality Brokers, The Real Lolita, I'll Be Gone In The Dark, Dead Girls, I Am I Am I Am. #MSWL
