#MSWL mid-age or older protags in a long-term romantic relationship. One that feels lived in, hard-earned, three-dimensional. There are so many uniquely awesome & stressful situations an SFF world— I want to see the ups & downs of getting into them w/ a longtime love by your side

"In a new standalone novel about the pain of forging your own path and the joy of finding your tribe, Coney Island-native Eva flees her domineering mother and the family funnel cake stand only to fall into the dark underground of competitive eating. But when she uncovers a plot😂 pic.twitter.com/F7eUbWABW3

A more abstract #MSWL, but I loved this story about the last Blockbusters of Alaska and the role they played in their communities. I'd love to see a literary novel, YA or adult, that focuses on these social shifts due to technology.

@kellyyanghk I’m still waiting for a picture book about the Chinese Exclusion Act, too. Picture books make history accessible to kids and I’d buy one in a second- and it would be so relevant to today! I never learned about it in school- only know bc it impacted the Chinese side of my family

The New Yorker @NewYorker

Sobbing near the dry goods, Michelle Zauner asks herself, “Am I even Korean anymore if there’s no one left in my life to call and ask which brand of seaweed we used to buy?” nyer.cm/makGPd6

"We don’t talk about it. There’s never so much as a knowing look. We sit here in silence, eating our lunch. But I know we are all here for the same reason. We’re all searching for a piece of home, or a piece of ourselves."

What a beautiful, powerful read. #MSWL

Authors!

I'm looking to acquire romances featuring dark and tasty homecomings, such as a protagonist having left in disgrace, went to war, was sent to jail...

How do they get their HEAs??

Would love to acquire a YA or MG with a strong female friendship like Idgie and Rachel’s in #FriedGreenTomatoes. Bonus points if it’s historical! #MSWL

Watched the US gymnastics championships tonight (SIMONE 😍), and it reminded me how much I want a MG or YA (hs or college) sports book. Gymnastics. Swimming. Volleyball. Track. Cheerleading. Etc. As long as it's voicey and character driven, send it my way! #MSWL

And if we're talking dream books, anyone remember Gotta Kick It Up! ? Give me the fresh, #ownvoices YA version of that. #MSWL

We’ve all seen highly illustrated early readers and chapter books about unlikely friends. Where are the unlikely enemies, in the vein of Tom & Jerry cartoons, with some I WANT MY HAT BACK-level dark humor? #MSWL

I am craving contemporary stories that do something creative with time or story structure, or novels with bite-sized chapters, etc. Something contemporary but with a high-concept delivery in the structure. #mswl

Rom-coms have been #1 on my #MSWL for ages now. They’re the books I most often turn to for comfort, for joy, to cure a bad mood, to introduce me to writers & characters whose worldview enriches my life. Authors/agents, if you see this tweet, my inbox is waiting...
