"academic rivals to lovers" BUT THEY'RE SOLVING A MYSTERY TOGETHER & REFUSE TO CALL EACH OTHER ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEIR LAST NAMES UNTIL THEY ENDURE A DANGEROUS LIFE-THREATENING EXPERIENCE TOGETHER & CALL ONE ANOTHER BY THEIR FIRST NAMES FOR THE FIRST TIME BC OF THE ADRENALINE?!…do I have to say it? #mswl

From the coalface of publishing: all editors are saying no more witches please or retellings of myths.I'll always want witches & myth retellings! Just give me a strong voice, layered characterization, & beautiful textured writing with them. Would especially love to see witches from underrepresented backgrounds - like, can I get a witch living in a hanok in the woods? #mswl twitter.com/KarolinaSutton…

As a former editor I’ll say the quiet part out loud: there are so many submissions that the only way to order your reading is to do it by urgency. Therefore only the MSs that have a lot of hype/ have an initial editor interested will move quickly through this process twitter.com/alecdshane/sta…❤️ this 🧵. molly verbalizes something i've struggled to explain to ppl's satisfaction: why i no longer have, or will ever have again, an #mswl. while there are a few reasons, a biggest one is i like to be straightforward. 1/

I want a sultry romance you know not a spicy romance but like a season 2 Bridgerton all-about-the-near-touch romance BIPOC set perhaps extremely specifically in dark academia maybe the stakes are super high maybe it's P&P meets Ninth House idk I haven't thought about it that muchplz #MSWL

Your run of the mill enemies to lovers story where the villain is obsessed with the heroine except this is the second iteration of the story; they were lovers before but she died in his arms so he went back in time and chose evil because maybe if she hates him, she’ll live.Love this. Enemies to lovers (& vice versa) is a trope I'm a huge sucker for, not to mention sympathetic villains (like Xu Wenwu) and heroes who are willing to be perceived as or who become villainous for noble reasons in the vein of The Dark Knight or Simon/Ice King #mswl

#MSWL As an @HCI_Books #editor and as a woman of a certain age who has recently had many conversations with my friends about perimenopause, I'd love to see something from #agents or #writers about this subject. Submission guidelines here: hcibooks.com/editorial/

This proposed national bill is sickening. To deem LGBTQ people as inappropriate for children, many of whom are young LGBTQ people themselves, is to call for the erasure of an entire population of people. We're already seeing this devastating quest for erasure with the book bans. twitter.com/Esqueer_/statu…Have a pile of submissions to get to but a #mswl that's been on my heart ever since my trans/NB partner told me they've never seen themself reflected in lit: more books (PB, MG, YA, GN) featuring genderqueer main characters pls. There's power in lit, and the fascists know it.
