The Book of V is an insightful, multi POV and multi timeline story that connects three women, including Esther and Vashti from The Bible. I adore stories that take these ancient tales and connect them with modern stories. Please send me more! #MSWL!

And the secret’s out! Beyond thrilled to announce that I co-write a novel with 5 of my favorite writers ever! Swoony love stories with Black kids falling for each other during a NYC blackout! @brownbookworm @angiecthomas @WriteinBK @getnicced @AshWritesew.com/books/blackout…
This sounds AMAZING! I can't wait to read it. And (I've been saying this A LONG TIME NOW) querying authors–particularly Black authors–please send me your love stories! I'm dying for YA romance & romcoms by Black people and other people of color. #mswl

I talk a lot about how pretty WAKE THE BONES is but there's plenty of gore, too. I'm going through the line edits right now on a scene that makes my teeth ache... and not in a sweet, fluffy kind of way.Not only is this very true, but also “very pretty with plenty of gore, too,” is my forever #MSWL.

This lovely young lady from Kentucky told me about "The Cornbread Mafia" today, and now all I want is a highly funny romp featuring this WILD group. #MSWL

The amount of people who are commenting that they'd watch a show about us being a wholesome family of jocks and their adopted nerd lass has brought me back from the dead I swearThere’s got to be a book in this somewhere, and I want it (thread) #MSWL

How about a #middlegrade or #YAlit that kind of comps to A Night at the Museum, only set in the Louvre or the Guggenheim or something? Even better if it's written by/about #BIPOC! #mswl #WritingCommunity #kidlit #scbwi

I would loooove to work on something similar to THE HAUNTED LAKE, which is a really unique, spooky, folktale-feeling picture book. (Except I'd prefer something with a shorter length.) Send those spooky stories my way! #MSWL

My doctor just told me about the 12th century physicians of Salerno: the usual Greek/Latin men plus Jews, Muslims, and women! They pooled their knowledge and practiced science-based medicine. BUT then they disappeared. Gotta be a story there. #mswl #historicalfiction or #NF

Some truly exciting news: my grandmother, Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, is going to be on a Forever stamp from the U.S. Postal Service. She was a nuclear physicist who helped disprove a fundamental law of nature and changed a field dominated by men. We’re so grateful for the honor. pic.twitter.com/cIL23tki80Hi someone write this PB for me! #mswl

My personal read at the moment is the brilliant Shiver by Allie Reynolds and it's making me SO hungry to find some brilliantly tense thrillers for my own list #MSWL

Putting it out into the universe that I’d love more historical romances centering on Black, Indigenous & POC written by BIPOC in my query inbox. Please & thank you 🙏 (bonus points if one of your character inspos is Dev Patel. Kidding... kind of.) #MSWL
