Editors' MSWL | MsWishList

Another #MSWL for 2020, off of a recent email from @JuniperJazzz, who comped her second book to an anime. Agents, if a book you represent feels tonally like an anime, I want to see it!

Thinking on my 2020 #MSWL and what I'd really like to see in my inbox are monstrous girls (maybe literally!) and the cinnamon rolls that love them

Dammit all I want is a good redemption arc now #MSWL

@ReadingReganW I'm kidding, it wasn't an illustrator, it was a gal who wanted to open her own bookshop, but now I'm going to make her an amateur illustrator too.

Replying to @sassquachcomics

This makes me think of You’ve Got Mail in the best possible way. I need this on my #mswl right now

Now feels like a good time to mention that I am very interested in your messy and complicated villains and also characters who seem like the villain but are actually *coughs* the love interest #MSWL

A reminder to all that I am ALWAYS looking for own voices genderqueer, trans, and non-binary submissions in children’s and across genres #mswl

Idea for a setting: asteroid belt filled with scheming, ruthless, amoral and ambitious politicians, each one hoping to make their city-state paramount.

It could be called A Game of Stones.

My heart can't 😭

Thousands of people gather outside Beaumont Hospital in Michigan to put on a light show for the children at the hospital each night of the holiday season so they know they haven’t been forgotten.

I love this 😭❤

Lucy Freeman 🇳🇵 @Lucyvfreeman

Met old lady on dog walk. Her dog died two years ago. She found she missed the walk as much as the dog, so she started doing her usual route at her usual time, with a bag of treats, and greets everyone else’s dogs instead. I told her she was a Fairy Dogmother.

I’ve seen a lot of requests for books about kindness lately. Today I saw a list focused on kindness.
where are the lists of picturebooks focused on power, privilege & social justice? kindness feels like someone saying “calm down” when the house is on fire. pic.twitter.com/NzbGzUcTAV

If I've fumblingly tried to describe my picture book #mswl to you ("I'm so tired of kindness!"), this tweet from @booktoss does it perfectly.

Bisexuals of the Blade @fancy_foxtrot

Hello Twitter -- a friend of ours posted a photo of our wedding and we were surprised how it blew up. Thank you for all the positive comments! We've decided to share some more photos. pic.twitter.com/jjwF3GHanB

THERE’S MORE!

Someone write it—the more photos we get, the more sure I am that these are the protagonists of a wuxia novel who find each other at a British university (because colonialism) AND THEN THEY DECOLONIZE IT

BISEXUALS OF THE BLADE, I CAN’T

give me queered AF xianxia & wuxia fantasy in this vein. give me tender eye contact, back to back fighting, tilting your gf’s chin up w/a blade, painting her by firelight while you walk the jianghu together w/strong talismans and BDE. dream of red chamber meets MDZS. #MSWL
