SO I found out about true crime conferences, and I cannot stop thinking about a murder mystery that takes place at a conference where everyone is an armchair detective. #MSWL

Supper Mario Broth @MarioBrothBlog
A 1996 Super Mario 64 manga suggests that 1-Up Mushrooms grow from the bodies of dead Marios, perpetuating the cycle of life and death. pic.twitter.com/KjGsnig3hB#MSWL but not about Mario. Just the vibe. I dunno what that looks like but I can’t stop thinking about this idea, about the prior turn’s dead Mario spawning the 1-ups for the happy, unaware next Mario, who may himself fall and feed the next Mario… 😳

Suspense/Mystery/Thriller set at a vacation destination #mswlGloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

Agents, I'd love to see more horror submissions from marginalized voices, especially ones based around their local/cultural folkfore and/or social issues. #mswl

Look I know I’m wildly behind on queries - book fairs and all that - but @ShinraAlpha just said this and yeah, #MSWL.

Beautifully written or Upmarket Adult fantasy/SF/horror that would appeal to a book club audience. Think MEXICAN GOTHIC, STATION ELEVEN, or THE STARLESS SEA. #mswl

Would really love more Romance in my query inbox! I love a lot of sexual tension in my romances. Would also love to speak/take pitches at romance-focused events #mswl

Literary Agent
Adult Romance w a hint of magic or a genre element. Think THE DEAD ROMANTICS, THE EX HEX, or ONE LAST STOP. #mswl

Need women-led southern fiction with the vibe of Tyler Childers singing “I don’t need the laws of man to tell me what I ought to do” 💅🏻 #mswl

Please send me more #YA #romantasy #amquerying folks - points for culturally grounded stories, non-western folklore or mythology, and lots of tension, atmosphere, and gorgeous prose! #MSWL #amwriting #writingcommunity #enemiestolovers #friendstolovers

But please DON'T send me novels where someone dies with their inner turmoil tragically unresolved! I'm here for moral/emotional struggles that lead toward hope, if not happiness; not into screeds about the futility of existence and the impossibility of being truly good #MSWL

i would love to see more stories of characters navigating well-deserved guilt. i read a lot of books about processing guilt and the arc is almost always the character realizing they aren’t truly at fault. but what about characters who really, genuinely are responsible?Send me your novels about guilt, shame, regret, seeking atonement, earning forgiveness; redemption arcs for someone who isn't necessarily a villain, but who has made choices with irrevocable consequences and has to find a way to live with their actions and keep going. #MSWL
