#antiMSWL check-in: Amy Berkower is not actively acquiring picture books, nonfiction (including memoirs), or poetry -- we've been getting a lot of queries in all three categories lately, and I hate to waste folks' time. #querytips #MSWL

Contemporary fantasy or UF where the stakes aren't cosmic (about saving the world) and the setting feels like a character! (I blame @christineexists for this one). #MSWL

A partial list of some of the coolest moms of science fiction and fantasy:
- Molly Weasley (Harry Potter)
- Catelyn Stark (Song of Ice and Fire)
- Mrs. Murry (A Wrinkle in Time)
- Queen Ramonda (Black Panther)
- Tenar (Earthsea)
- Alana (Saga)
- Essun (The Broken Earth)

Consider this whole thread a #MSWL

I want stories about good moms and bad moms, dedicated moms and indifferent moms, moms who move mountains for their kids and moms who do amazing things in spite of having kids.

All these women existed—and continue to exist.

Happy #MothersDay.

So bummed @Brooklyn99FOX is being cancelled! But I am loving seeing all of these great posts about how important (& hilarious) the show is. I want to publish books just like it—joyous, culturally relevant, edifying, & respectful to its audience. #RenewBrooklyn99 #mswl
