GREAT BRITISH BAKEOFF X CHECK PLEASE!: As the only transgender contestant on his favorite televised baking competition, Blaise Thompson wants his baking to stand out while he keeps his gender identity private until he falls for another competitor. #PitMad #CR #A #R #OwnVoices pic.twitter.com/QrBaHpo33rThis hits on so many of my #MSWL I'd love to take a look.

Iโve toyed with the idea of writing a Grateful Dead picture book for years but canโt figure a way into the story without mentioning drugs so... Someone else might have a good idea though so I guess I should tag it with a #mswl โ๐ผโค๏ธ๐๐

Cults of personality.Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

Question Eight:Whatโs an under-used villain trope, or a trope usually attached to male villains, that youโd like to see explored with female and nonbinary villains?

A YA contemporary that fits on the shelf with FOOLISH HEARTS and LOVE FROM A to Z and WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI and ALWAYS NEVER YOURS and WILD BLUE WONDER, but make it queer. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐โจ๐๐ป #MSWL

@leslie_zampetti These ideas are awesome (I'd SO love to read them!), and also, I've yet to see a mainstream YA romance with two MO characters, or Conservative characters, or really almost anything mainstream without a bar/bat mitzvah, inter-faith relationship, or the Holocaust.I know! Maybe youโre writing something? ๐
Iโd love to see contemporary Jewish YA without the bโnei mitzvot or Holocaust or even anti-Semitism. I am up for inter-faith relationships tho - if done in a fresh way. ๐ #MSWL

#MSWL Contemporary Jewish romance! What about a cute rabbi who falls in โค๏ธ with her cantor? Modern orthodox man falls in โค๏ธ with a Reform fella? Anyone? Anyone?

โFor me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachmanโs THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.โย @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
