On this day in 1921, Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. As a Black woman, she was denied entry to flying schools in the United States, so she moved to France to earn her license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. pic.twitter.com/ZRAEwBZzHXMG or YA historical fiction. #MSWL

I’d love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswlSecond this. I consume domestic thrillers on audio like candy. I love them, but the subgenre is overwhelmingly white. I’d love to see queries from non-white authors of twisty domestic thrillers. #MSWL

A century ago in New York, a very large wedding took place — not in spite of the Spanish flu epidemic ravaging the city but precisely because of it nyti.ms/2AxaMdpThis is the kind of obscure Eastern European Jewish superstition content I am here for. (Though this is pretty macabre.) And if you managed to weave it into a YA novel with the actual magical part? Yes. #mswl

Hey agents and authors with agents! I'd like to get a G-rated romance proposal about 2 guys falling in love for Hallmark, Christmas or not-Christmas. Maybe big-city guy goes back to hometown & meets up again with his old crush?

To defend against wasps, bees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating bees need to respond with perfect timing when it's their turn to shimmer. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, pic.twitter.com/wCSGYG0zntSomeone feature this gloriously strange bee fact in a novel! It seems like something straight out of science fiction. #MSWL
