i feel like maybe i’ve said this before, but i’d really like to read a middle grade in the vein of bob’s burgers—lighthearted & full of shenanigans, and ultimately about growing up in a close-knit working class family #mswl

Interested in middle grade novel manuscripts about a brutally violent uprising of ruthless twelve year olds who hunt down every crusty old columnist who has a hot take on the outcome of a spelling bee. #mswl

Someone should really write a Susan Orlean-styled book about the beginning of cosplay or the first comic con or something else equally geeky and send it to me!!

This all-black WW II women's battalion, the 6888th, were deployed by Roosevelt to make sure American soldiers received the huge backlog of mail being sent to them.

When they were denied firearms, they trained in jujitsu, to keep intruders out of their compound.

WHY AM I NOT GETTING ALL THE BOOKS ABOUT LADY KNIGHTS?

Ugh. #mswl Lady knights. That's all.

I'm ready to start seeing more urban fantasy YA in my inbox, just saying... #MSWL

· 28 May 2019

If you haven't watched #BooksmartMovie already, please do! And to all my agents friends out there, it's major #mswl! The intimacy of female friendships, a queer protag, and teen girls getting into shenanigans 😍

I enjoyed TSIAAS, but I kept being distracted by calculating their routes & travel times around NYC. “She could *maybe* get there in half an hour if she takes the B to the A & all the trains arrive just right...”

FYI, if it’s legally possible, I would 100% publish an #ownvoices YA novel about a teenage girl or boy in the Motown star system. Signed, someone who read DREAMGIRL: MY LIFE AS A SUPREME in high school & *loved* it. #mswl

My little sister recently announced that when she turns 30 she’ll be having a Treintañera with a gown and a vals to make up for not having a party at 15. Is this a thing?

I’d love to see this novel in my inbox. #MSWL

Guess who's crying and shaking and just talked to Elizabeth Warren on the phone?!?!? We have a plan to get my mom grandkids, it's very comprehensive, and it does involve raising taxes on billionaires.

Someone write me a rom com! #MSWL

2 for 2 so far: Emilia Clarke noting "She's not mad, she's traumatized" is an equally pointed departure from how the dudes insist on framing things.

I don't get to acquire much fantasy BUT WHEN I DO it's got female characters with nuance as well as grit, trauma fallout and mental health issues depicted realistically, and no dudes getting away with killing their girlfriends #MSWL

Take all your frustration with S8 of #GoT and channel it into writing a beautiful and detailed epic fantasy full of people of color and female complexity that doesn’t hinge on sexual violence. Then send it to me. #mswl

I'm over suspense that features a man controlling the strings with the central protag overpowered and manipulated by him. Give me your thrillers with dynamic leading women. Show me what suspense looks like btwn friends, btwn sisters. Explore these relationships deeply #MSWL
