in my ongoing campaign to only care about villains, I desperately want to read a story where the MC has the slow, horrifying, dawning realization that THEY are the antagonist #mswl

I'd love to see more thrillers from BIPOC authors. #MSWL

Did you say gay space mermaids? ❤️ #MSWL

I mean #MSWL honestly.

I'm particularly obsessed with the idea of a sanitation worker helming a thriller, which I saw in a tweet a few days ago and foolishly didn't save.

What are your other ideas for careers that would make a good vantage point for suspense fiction?

#mswl

I often say I want unexpected suspense. Here are some careers that could be a fun perspective from which to dig into a mystery instead of police detective as MC
-rental car agency employee
-sanitation worker
-UPS driver (or bus driver, or Lyft driver...)
-mail carrier

If anyone sends this to V, y’all better send to me too and expect the most epic of dance battles to happen. #mswl

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

My actual ultimate #MSWL is a YA fictionalized story of Amanda Nunes and Nina Ansaroff—two female world class MMA fighters who meet and fall in love and become the sport’s #couplegoals.

All right, I’m putting my stake in the ground. I want your #own #poc YA protest meet-cutes. I want them all. #MSWL

“Middle Grade: a protagonist with immigrant parents, an animal story (NOT talking animals), anything with an environmental theme, inventive chapter book series.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

Writers, SEND ME THIS NOVEL! #MSWL

But, uh, #MSWL

If you are querying a MG or YA graphic novel, especially if you are an author-illustrator, I'd love to see it. #PitMad #BVM #MSWL

So much #mswl

Reading submissions this morning to the charming soundtrack of @dadimakesmusic 🎶

Wants: realism, love, happiness, comedy, danger, the world as a bigger place, hope
Do not want: death, grief, boring character journeys, boring characters, stories I have heard before #MSWL
