For easy access to my #MSWL, I've decided to make a collection. I'll try to update it as often as possible.

Happy #InternationalWomensDayA quick thread on the North African prophetess queen, Al Kahina who fought against the Ummayd armies with the skills of a warrior and the powers of a sorceress
This is an amazing story. #MSWL (It’s practically already speculative!)

If someone out there is writing an adult fantasy inspired by the epic tale Isis and Osiris that is romantic, angst-ridden and full of tense politics...I'm your editor.

I really hope this is the last time I have to say this.Soapy murder books are NOT for me.
A man I knew is in jail for 23 to life for murdering my best friend. This is not entertainment to me. I am not your audience.
#MSWL
Now if you are inspecting murder and its aftermath carefully and in a nuanced manner, I am here for it. #MSWL

When I was like 14, me and a few mates would “wag” French class and hide out in the soundproof drum room until lunch time. This went on for a few weeks when one day we discovered a “trap door” beneath the carpet tiled floor under the drum kit. We of course opened the trap door.. twitter.com/spur_of/status…This whole thread is my MG vibe and #MSWL

In anticipation of my trip to New Orleans, one thing on my #mswl is almost any kind of book about the American South. Southern Gothic, romance, non-fiction, horror etc. Especially written by/about people of color. (Also open to already published book recommendations!)

“We’ve made prison a place of starkness, idleness, a place without purpose. Then we’re confused where people get out and they don’t make it. I think that is on us.”

Weekly PSA that I want more kidlit stories in my query box by Latinx authors.
Especially if they're magical realism.

“In non-fiction, I want to read about historical funny women, your Lucille Balls and Bea Arthurs. For humor in fiction, think the next Mrs. Maisel.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I want a thriller set in a small space. Make me feel their claustrophobia. #mswl

You know what... I would really like some super weird gay vampire manuscripts. Like GIDEON THE NINTH but vampires. #mswl

You ever think about how witches and nuns are like the same thing.Witches & Nuns:
- Wear black
- Commune with spiritual forces
- Speak Latin
- Chant things to do magic
- Have ancient, leather-bound texts with all their secrets
- Live in tight-knit communities
- Cats
I want to read this graphic novel #mswl

I'd love to see some queer epic fantasy a la Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books. Adepts, big magic, sword-wielders, magical companions (I'm a secret horsegirl), and politics, oh my! #mswlQueer epic fantasy in the vein of Melanie Rawn (Dragon Prince or Exiles series) and CS Friedman (Coldfire trilogy) would also be fab. #mswl

This colony of glowworms—one of the largest in all of New South Wales—illuminates the stale, inky air like a constellation of blue-green stars. trib.al/4q6NtKAJust want to reiterate that I've always wanted to work on a glowworm picture book! I think it would be so visually dazzling. #MSWL
