Today in pulp: a woman with great hair is fleeing a gothic house. Why?Well this is a signal to the reader: they hold in their hands one of ‘those’ books – not a historical romance or a ghost story, but a modern gothic romance.

"Cozy mysteries, particularly ones centering siblings & involving a sweet twist! Maybe they’re siblings running a bakery, or the local baker dies mysteriously + the siblings need to solve the murder while keeping the bakery afloat." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Thinking about how chop suey by System of a Down was regularly played in our pep rallies in high school but we weren’t allowed to have water bottles in class bc they thought it would be vodkaThis is dated bc I’m 32. But give me this vibe in YA #mswl please

I've been thinking about something, post-election. I know someone who voted for @realdonaldtrump. Nice guy. Friendly. Engaging. And I was legit confused—why did this guy vote for Trump? He's a decent guy. And I started thinking about little things. [1]There was a bestselling book in 2005 titled the Sociopath Next Door. We need that version of the Racist Next Door not only to recognize the signs but also what's the best way to deal with them. #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

My head is swirling around random thoughts today, but you know what I’d love to see in my inbox???? A sarcastic and wonderful holiday book: nonfiction—cooking book or DIY decorations and their meanings (love learning about traditions) or fiction—YA rom-com. #MSWL

Watching my little non communicative boy use a PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) board to interact is such a joy filled miracle.❤️
Also an annual reminder that I’m desperate for more books that celebrate neurodiversity in my query box.
If I’m not making books for kids like him, I’m failing at this job. #MSWL

I know this is super vague but I want to read a young adult manuscript that engages with that weird feeling of nostalgia you get before your life has even really changed. #mswl

- I don’t see many projects set in the Caribbean, Central and South America, South and Southeast Asia, or in African nations, and would love to.- I’m a big fan of historical mysteries, historical with a speculative or magical realism element, and alternate history.
If you’re writing about a time or place I haven’t mentioned, please try me anyway, there’s so much I’m fascinated by. #MSWL
