“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.”  @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL MG, YA, or graphic novels with this mood / setting / ambience / evocative sense of the fantastical waiting-to-happen as a jumping-off point.

Watching The Host movie. I actually preferred it over twilight. And yeah, it has it's problems. So can someone write me a version of this with queer character and subtract all the misogyny? Bonus points for actual ace or demi rep. #mswl

In which my affection for Joel Gray only grows...

Playwrights, I am happy to read any Ghostlight YA, middle grade, or picture book manuscripts you write. #amagenting #mswl

In this time of social distancing, i crave a middle grade story about kids in a loving werewolf pack. #mswl #itstechnicallyonlyapuppypile3daysamonth

in honor of Shakespeare’s birthday: I have always believed that A Midsummer Night’s Dream should be interpreted as a horror (Puck is TERRIFYING!) and this is a #mswl tweet

Feeling murdery, as always. Send me your books! Cozies, historical or contemporary mysteries, true crime, psychological suspense, thrillers. I'm open. #MSWL

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible.What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

How cool is this book? #mswl
Books that do cool stuff

Beware the Slenderman on HBO is really messed up, but fascinating. Absolutely worth the watch. (And because it’s on my mind, I would love a book about something like this. #MSWL)

Dear authors, I would LOVE to see more thrillers and suspense novels in my submissions inbox! If anyone's currently querying or has a manuscript with a killer concept tucked in a drawer, please send it our way.

Other things that make my agent heart sing: high concepts, voicey narration, fantasy (especially with a unique twist), lush historical settings, fresh paranormal, boarding schools, sister stories, falling in & out of friendship, dark & atmospheric, setting as character. #MSWL

My picture book #MSWL changed recently: I’m looking for author-illustrators (instead of text only projects) but I will make an exception for contests (like DVPit!), critiques, and conferences.

I’m especially on the lookout for YA rom coms (TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE; RED, WHITE, AND ROYAL BLUE), MG contemporary (A SONG FOR A WHALE; EVENTOWN), MG historical (WAR THAT SAVED MY LIFE; PRARIE LOTUS), and graphic novels (NEW KID, LAURA DEAN) #MSWL

I am ~so impressed~ with #DVpit today. If I ❤️ your pitch, you can sub to me through the link in my pinned tweet. If I miss yours, you can still sub to me! I'm all over the horror today: hauntings, gothic, anything you can comp to Ari Aster or Jordan Peele. #MSWL

#MSWL includes all YA/MG/PB except fantasy. I'm hungry for something that grabs me in from the first line and totally distracts me from COVID worries. stringerlit.com

#mswl I'd love to see a Romeo/Juliet retelling outside the US/Europe. Rival tech/business mogul families? Something Filipino with rich worldbuilding? Count me in.

#mswl

And me #MSWL!!!!

Yes! This 👇 #MSWL #MG #YA and #Adult I'd love to see more stories featuring Jewish protagonists.
