“A crime drama that takes place in the latter half of the 19th century during the Tong Wars in San Francisco's Chinatown” = a description of awesome TV show Warrior and also on my #mswl ❤️

On my #MSWL too! Epic fantasy that broadens the category outside its "typical" settings (read: the European-inspired settings that publishing has poured money into while passing over fantasy from non-white cultures) is fantasy I want to represent.

Perhaps it's the Twitter algorithm, but I've seen a couple of other heist tweets today, so this is a reminder! I will, of course also accept treasure hunting books, and if they're queer, so much the better. #MSWL

Sweet, wholesome, good girls 😈 #mswl

Girl’s just wanna have fun, amiright 😉 #mswl

Energy 😍 #mswl

I REALLY REALLY want a YA road trip/girls trip book. Silly, funny, friendship, vibezzz. Unforgettable memories that remain secrets foreverrrr. Please. #mswl

I really love the “spending the summer back home” premise in middle grade and YA, especially when “back home” is so varied for Black peoples. Grandma/aunty/cousin’s house is often the perfect background for all kinds of stories. More please! #mswl

I’d really love to read a hilarious chapter book or middle grade full of black characters going on silly adventures. #mswl

Yes to all this but BIPOC too, pls!
#mswl

Today's #MSWL is a heist story. Young adult (like SIX OF CROWS) or adult (like MONEY HEIST), or even MG (for which I can't think of an example)—I want to see the mastermind behind the planning, the action, the drama, the romance that blossoms with danger around every turn!

“Middle Grade: luscious fantasy based on myths/traditions from non-Western culture.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

And in other news: stay tuned for more SUPER exciting news about my authors Jon and Emily Jordan's THE WAR QUEENS about extraordinary women who led their nations in combat! #calltheelection #certifyTheVote #quotes #mswl #literaryagent #history #books #COVID19 #Covid_19

I'll be updating this thread over the next few days with #mswl thoughts and ideas as they occur to me, and I'll start with saying that if you have a western, especially a historical one featuring queer and/or BIPOC characters, please hit me up!

I realize the vagueness of this #mswl, but I adore Melissa McCarthy with my whole being and I'd love to see some subs featuring protagonists that live with the same kind of heart, humor, and joy.

Pssst—I’ve put my new #mswl featuring some shiny new categories up on the @HeadwaterLit site!

"Books that are devastating to put down" is literally in my #MSWL. Souvankham doesn't know me, nor that she so often speaks the words that are in my heart. 💜
