No, YOU'RE giggling w delight.

NYC "Billionaire's Row" palace a nightmare.

"...eerie creaking & groaning noises often resonate in the apartments, & somewhere in the building exists a garbage chute “that sounds like a bomb” when trash is thrown into it."

While it's still pitch dark outside by 5:30, I'd be extremely down for a middle grade ghost story, agent friends #MSWL

Mainlined all of Lupin last night & this afternoon, and it is SO EXTREMELY MY SHIT! A kind-of retelling where the source material exists in-universe and the characters are consciously riffing on it? Meta af, sign me up. Also an eternal #mswl

I hope with the popularity of all these teen ghost shows editors are anxious for some teen ghost books 👀 twitter.com/netflix/status…

Lemme in that case officially say #MSWL because #MSWL for all the ghost stories!

Next year is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut. Really hungry for an #ownvoices kid archaeologist MG—bonus points for critique of how museums often steal artifacts! #mswl

Are there any pbs not just on how to say no...but on how to hear no and be okay with it and accept rejection gracefully? Because if not then #mswl

Sailor D.J. Says @OhHeyDJ

I have a humble request. Can we get more queer content that isn’t so like, squeaky clean and perfect? I want more stuff where characters are undeniably queer, have faults and are messy.

Hello, yes, agents if you rep #horror with messy queer characters please send me those manuscripts #mswl

Dear agents,

Just want to put out the call again that I'd love to see more fantasy/sci-fi middle grade submissions in my inbox! I have a TON of space for mg on my list right now, so [*insert grabby hands here*]!! #MSWL

· 1 Feb 2021

YA and emerging-adult nonfiction about wellness and self-improvement with a fun voice or visual elements. I particularly would love to see wellness mss that are sensitive to class/economic limitations! #MSWL
