After Trump’s bizarre statement about exchanging love letters w/ Kim Jong Un, I can’t help thinking it‘d be an interesting SFF novel idea: 2 unstable dictators w/ huge egos inherit world-ending arsenals & a fraught standoff, begin a diplomatic correspondence, & fall in love

Linda Epstein @LindaEpstein

Also, I know this is very specific, but I'm dying for a YA set in the Jewish ghetto in WW2 Shanghai. I've literally been thinking about this for years...If it's a love story, even better! #ownvoices #MSWL

I’ve been looking for this for years (MG or YA)! This is my grandma’s story and a mainstay on my #MSWL.

Katherine Locke @Bibliogato

The books by women for girls that publish in 2020 are going to be BONKERS good.

And violent.

And very satisfying.

And I cannot wait.

Yup, #MSWL, hit me up my warriors

A #mswl for a future day: angry girls. Give me your righteous, angry girls, and let’s have them burn the world to the ground.

Molli Moran @MissMolliWrites

You know what’s I wish we had more YA books about? Toxic friendship breakups. How to grieve healthily and move on. Teens and young adults. need to know; otherwise, they aren’t prepared.

Give me this! #MSWL

#MSWL: feminist #SFF

I don’t mean “strong heroine succeeds in a sexist society.” That exists, and much of it isn’t feminist in a way that reflects the intellectual underpinnings of the concept.

I want “strong heroines work together—intersectionally—to dismantle the patriarchy.”

Given today's events, refreshing this #MSWL. Are you writing #SFF about misogynists getting their comeuppance and women tearing down the patriarchy with their bare hands? Tell your agent to send it to me.

Kaye Dreams of Fluffy Romcoms @gildedspine

This is your Wednesday reminder that if you are a marginalized author writing a magical school, I AM SO HERE FOR IT AND YOU. Write it. Please.

Also, there are no limits to writing magical schools with different functions, experiences and value. Do not cancel yourself out.

YES. I'm all about this!! #MSWL

Anyone want to write a children's book about the impeachment process for supreme court justices? Just asking for no particular reason. #MSWL

Saba Sulaiman @agentsaba

i grew up embracing the term "tomboy" and its related aesthetics because it was the only way i had to express my rejection of traditional gender roles. this fantastic essay is probing, necessary, and calls into question why labels, while divisive, can be empowering as well. #MSWL twitter.com/akkabah/status…

Replying to @agentsaba

oooh if this #mswl comes true, me please!

in light of recent snake news, I'd *really* like a queer own voice retelling of Bai She Zhuan where Suzhen & Xiaoqing fall in love while on their rescue mission & realize that striving for an immortal human soul is the patriarchy & being a snake witch is better. #mswl

Sarah McCabe @sarahrmccabe

I *need* a YA adaptation of this (times a billion).

YES except also as adult fantasy about the rash decisions you made as an impetuous youth & an impetuous witch but now you're falling in love in your grumpy 30s over a magical contract you didn't think though w/lots of resigned sighs & awkward eye contact & netflix #mswl
