“Romantic comedies take our primal hunger to connect with one another and give it a story. And at their best, they do much more: They make you believe in the power of communion.”—Wesley Morris’s excellent rumination on a criminally undervalued genre. nyti.ms/2W2sQl3
Now that we as a nation have accepted that romcoms are amazing, I'm putting out a call: Agents, please send me all the fantastic YA novel or graphic novel romcoms you have! Especially keen for projects from LGBTQIA/POC creators 💫💫💫 #MSWL #YA #GN

throw in some “years later, the past creeps in through the window for her when Rosalind appears needing money to fund a hit on an unworthy husband & they definitely make out while discussing assassin logistics” & I’m at when can I buy your manuscript twitter.com/bylostways/sta…ICYMI for the Monday crowd. a day later, any version of this is still firmly on my #MSWL
& in general: more f/f fantasy where the main pairing has a complicated history & maybe they're escaping narratives that weren't worthy of them please

I don’t get a lot of nonfiction in my inbox, but I would love to see more. Especially for YA & MG. I like baseball, sports in general, food, cooking, baking, lgbt+ studies, and little known women of history. Please send me more NF! #mswl

Well looks like I don’t have to watch #TheMagicians now. Someone send me a comparable book that’s queer and doesn’t bury the gays #MSWL

"When I started reading the correspondence to Susan, I was like, This stuff is pretty sexy" vult.re/2XiwqHWHonestly, #mswl. Gimme that gay YA historical fiction. Bonus points for epistolary novels.

I’d love to get in more Women’s/General fiction! Here’s my current #MSWL: Multicultural stories; Women in STEM; High-concept historical; Millennial characters/themes; or Queer fiction. Can be a combination of any of the above.

Queer books can be light and funny and still be important. Queer books don't have to focus on queer pain to matter.These are the books I love across MG (especially!) and also YA. #MSWL

More people should be talking about this: 'Gentlemen Jack,' a lesbian period drama series, is out April 22 on HBO. It follows Anne Lister, a real lesbian landowner in the 1800s, in her pursuit of finding a wife when female queerness was simply unheard of. It's must-see gay TV.1. This is the first time I've heard of this!! Thank you for doing the Lord's work!
2. Make it at least a little bit magical/speculative and shove it in my inbox ASAP, thank you #MSWL

I’d love a memoir from a queer person from a red state. What’s it like to build community and your identity in that environment? #mswl

#mswl a YA group of girls who band together to fight off an internet troll. Extra points if it’s lgbtq+. Please?

"Fluffy YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities)." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/
