ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL and MIRACLE CREEK were two of my favorite reads from the past few years. Anyone with a fresh courtroom drama touching on contemporary issues, please please query me! #mswl

On the hunt for middle grade and young adult manuscripts that are really joyful and feature characters from marginalized backgrounds. #MSWL

Have just finished MY FRIEND ANNA and am now REALLY keen for some millennial scammer fiction... #MSWL

“With non-fiction I want to learn something by accident, tell me a good story in a fun new way that keeps me thinking. I really enjoyed Carlo Rovelli’s SIX BRIEF LESSONS ON PHYSICS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

When I reopen my query inbox in January, can someone please send me a fantasy where a cat is the McGuffin? #MSWL

Catching up on subs and i notice i have excellent YA here, but not much MG! #mswl WHEN I REOPEN: I really want to work on more MG! Commercial or literary—give me your big series hooks, magic, light and fun contemporary, hopeful stories touching on tough topics, queer characters!!

Right -- it has to get more and more intricate. Which is where I say #mswl and leave it to the authors to figure out, bwahaha.

I just read + really liked SHIP OF DOLLS by Shirley Parenteau—I love historical fiction centered around very specific, lesser known moments from history, in this case the Friendship Dolls exchange with Japan in the 20s. Would love to see more stories like this in my inbox! #MSWL

GOOD MORNING #writingcommunity! Who is writing the holiday rom-com of my dreams (adult or YA)? I very much enjoy Christmas but would LOVE to see a variety of holiday traditions represented. #MSWL #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2019

Happy to see recs of published books as well!

Looking for YA high stakes thriller series with historical background, romantic arc & high ethics #MSWL

In upmarket fiction, I’m looking for precise angles:

Anything geeky but accessible

Gender fluid, masc. of centre, and non-binary protagonists.

There's a book in here I know it...! #mswl A ton of people received text messages overnight that were originally sent on Valentine’s Day theverge.com/2019/11/7/2095… via @Verge

“I’m a biography buff but it needs to have a fresh voice and a new angle, send me your funky takes on biography. I loved SO WE READ ON, a biography of THE GREAT GATSBY.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If you are a pop culture or music writer obsessed with the girl groups and boy bands of the 00s (Dream, 3LW, A*Teens, Dreamstreet) hmu because I’d love to find a non fic narrative about 00s music scene and how it paved the way for pop music today #mswl

Every time I spot the SCBWI folder designed by @ogemora in my office, or read one of her books, I'm reminded yet again of how much I love collage. I'd love to see more PBs that utilize collage! ✂️📜🎨 #MSWL
