My dudes (because it is always the dude writers), it does not give a female main character “strength” to be sexually assaulted for the sake of “character building” in her first chapter. It just shows that you’re a hack. Consider this my anti-#MSWL.

Would love to see more inter-generational stories from non-western cultures for the PB space in my inbox! Grandparents and grandchildren, aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews, etc. taking part in family or broader cultural traditions! #mswl

I would love to read a YA contemporary with an incredibly strong friendship, a la Amy and Molly in BOOKSMART. Bonus points if the conflict does NOT stem from romance/love interest complications (between the friends or another character)! #MSWL

I just watched that netflix show about pirates... entertaining, but my point is... WHY have I never read a book about Ching Shih before?? I've seen nonfic, but this is begging to be a novel in a talented author's hands. This woman's story is incredible! #MSWL #HistoricalFiction

Very specific #mswl time: I've been craving a middle grade book about wishes (with any degree of actual magic). Agent friends, if you've got one of these up your sleeve, send it my way!

Twitter friends! I’m in the mood for a romantic, sweeping adventure. Does anyone know if THE STARLESS SEA fits that description?!

My #MSWL is now "romantic, sweeping adventure"

Am I at all surprised that a tweet in which I show myself to be essentially the clumsy protagonist of a religion-themed gay rom-com is likely to be my most popular tweet of 2019?

I am not. twitter.com/revdaniel/stat…

If your phone sent texts randomly in the middle of the night last night, or you received texts people say they didn't send, please DM me. This appears to be epidemic.

Was this a massive conspiracy hatched by one person who forgot to text their SO on Valentine’s? What missing texts appeared? Why??Honestly IRL #MSWL
