Hey #MSWL: Am seeking a great love story with dimension, humor, and a strong commercial hook. Think ONE DAY or THE LIGHT WE LOST, but not necessarily a weepy. I am esp eager to read #ownvoices stories or underrepresented narratives in this space.I’m bumping this #MSWL ask up, too. Send me a temporary escape, please!

Also send me your diverse adult fiction set in the fashion industry with popping visual imagery and lots of smart character-driven drama. Flagships, offices, shops, etc. welcome! #MSWL (2/2)

Whimsical & specific #MSWL time. Send me your diverse MG adventures where the kids go wild in a fashion industry setting, think a big and beautiful bridal shop a la Say Yes to the Dress or a designer's home office or flagship. (1/2)

Many romance ms submissions pay too much attention to the exes in unnecessary & clichéd ways, giving them a generic feel.I want to see more heroines who broke up with their exes for reasons other than cheating. And fewer heroines who are brokenhearted after being dumped. #MSWL
There are so many reasons relationships don’t work out. Adding nuance to the ex/backstory can add depth and real emotional stakes to the potential conflicts your MCs face. #mswl

@muliebris You know what else I would do, is the teenage diaries of Rebecca Bunch (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend). I could do a YA series starting with her bat mitzvah, going through camp with Josh, and ending with her burning down her professor’s apartment in college. I’m deeply qualified for this.#mswl !!!

Are there any neurodivergent parenting books by authors of color?
I keep looking and I’m not finding them.
If you’re writing one, query me. #MSWL

Had a rough few days, and decided to start @rosellewriter’s latest, Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop.
I swear her magical romance novels are like a soothing balm, and I’d love to work on books like this in my agent life. #MSWL
Also go buy this! bookshop.org/books/vanessa-…

Was recently reminded of the book The Smell of Other People's Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock & how brilliant it is. I would love a book like this on my list! #MSWL thechildrensbookreview.com/weblog/2017/12…
