#BirdsOfPrey was SO GOOD. Like it was colorful and gay and like the most Harley Quinn and i can’t wait to see it fifty billion more times. Walked out of the theater feeling like a badass 🔥💕❤️

YEP #BirdsofPrey graciously returned back every minute of my life stolen by Suicide Squad, and then some!

Holy crap, that was PURE DELIGHT. I flipped out, laughed, teared up... go watch and while I’m at it #MSWL!!!

A dreary Thursday afternoon feels like the perfect time to share some of my recent anti #MSWL preferences, so here I go! Currently NOT looking for projects that feature the following themes:

tech/robots
sports
religion
dance
time travel
verse

Agents! I’m dying for some #ownvoices queer horror. I would love to see authors using horror as a unique lens to explore gender and sexuality. And I want it to be triumphant af.
Please give me all the LGBTQ+ protagonists. #MSWL #horror

Agents! I am both in a buying mood AND doing a better job in 2020 about responding to submissions quickly. Send me your YA - esp. stuff featuring characters from marginalized backgrounds, interesting formats, high-concept contemporary. #MSWL

Is there a YA rom-com out there where the protagonist leaves behind hidden letters for the love interest to find? Possibly hidden among some books? If not, I'd love to see it!

This #mswl brought to you by Romance Is A Bonus Book (Thanks for the recommendation @kurestinarmada)!
