Well. I try not to use this to comment on everything happening in publishing because BOY is that list long. Suffice to say that the last few days have not been flattering.

But...I am opening to queries on Monday so I felt like a few tweets were in order.

Okay…I’m almost afraid to do this, but…

For my #MSWL , I would love a collegiate level or higher gymnast romance. But it needs to be authentic. If you don’t understand first-hand the blood, sweat, and tears of the sport, there’s a 99% likelihood you’ll miss the mark. IYKYK.

#MSWL - Music Magic! Open to any form (#MG or #YA , this world or fantasy), I just need to see music magic in my inbox… I want to see characters playing instruments to channel & utilise their powers - magic pouring out of pianos, etc, people entranced by melodies…

I've recently become obsessively interested in the aviation industry and I'd love to see some books in my inbox about it (nonfiction or fiction!) #mswl

On the look out for adult fiction with a wonderful revenge story and a romance subplot! Bonus points if it has time travel. If you haven’t see the korean dramas, Marry My Husband or Perfect Marriage Revenge, on Prime. You should. I need that. 😍 #mswl

Ok, I know I just posted a #mswl tweet but what I actually planned to do this week was announce I am closing to #queries on July 1!

I’m grateful for all the queries I’ve received already - once I make a serious dent in my query/reading pile, I’ll open back up. #amquerying

This looks like a UPN sitcom that ran from 95-99. About 3 sisters running their moms hair salon after her passing. x.com/michaelb4jordan/status/1586005802443079680

thinking about this tweet again and i'd really love something like this for my #mswl Doesn't have to be set in the 90s or about a hair salon but a story about 3 sisters taking over their mother's shop and wrestling with family legacy and following their individual dreams
