Nerd Girl Says @Rachael_Conrad
Just want to reiterate that we rarely see detective characters in films and TV shows who are sweet and kind to the people that they are helping and not just hardboiled jerks who desperately need therapy and that’s part of the reason why Benoit Blanc is so great in Knives Out. pic.twitter.com/fXJEdGD6DJI, too, love friendly and likable detectives! #MSWL

I love stories that are set in extraordinary places where the stakes are high but also quite mundane--something that would, anywhere else or FOR anyone else, likely not be as much of a threat. (1/2)#MSWL
Ex: I finally watched Apollo 13 last night and was very interested in the way a cold/flu (?) could have brought down the whole mission. (2/2)

“Pop psychology & fun self help projects, especially from a qualified position (i.e. therapist, psychologist, life coach, etc). I love books that can provide tangible ways to improve yourself, while also being considered a fun read.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

We've partnered with a group called Masked Republic (maskedrepublic.com) that holds the licenses to use for several famous Lucador likenesses. We are super excited about this series! Now we just need someone to write it... 🤩

This is a stunning, deeply creepy magical thriller. I read it in one night and couldn’t stop thinking about it... #MSWL

A former publisher friend used to say he could sell any book with a baby, puppy or Abe Lincoln on the cover.

I just watched #MyOctopusTeacher on @netflix and it was incredibly moving and amazing. What increidble creatures. Bring the tissues! 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/SSPEs9NJbZI should probably add that I would really love to see all the heartwarming animal stories right now. All of them. #MSWL

Tori Sharp is open to queries! @NovelTori
When I was querying my own work just two years ago, I could find only about 35 agents seeking MG fantasy graphic novels. I'm sure there were more, but it took a lot of digging even to find those 35. That seems wild now.Speaking of which, I would LOVE to see more children's graphic novel pitches in my query inbox, especially from author/illustrators.

Dahlia Adler @MissDahlELama
I know seeing Bad Queer Lit Takes on Twitter gets really anxiety inducing for authors, so lemme tell you as someone who gets piles of requests for very specific queer recs every day: all the things you fear no one wants are wanted very badly by somebody.My favorite novels are literary stories focused on family, relationships, sexuality, mental illness, or recovery.
In particular, stories that explore sexuality are near + dear to my heart. I needed those stories when I was a teen (and still need/love/want them today) #MSWL

I'm not the right agent for fantasy and sci-fi, but I am not opposed to novels with a slight speculative twist. I'm interested in high concept love stories with a magical or techy element.

I'm also looking for post-war 20th century 'period' pieces a la Taylor Jenkins Reid. The kinds of stories that take us to interesting places or show us interesting people in a rapidly changing world. I'm interested in World War novels but they need to be doing something new.
