#MSWL I need more historical fiction. We have to show the children the past so they can protect the future.

#MSWL I want graphic novels for 2018. But I have a very specific taste. I loved PRINCELESS, RICKETY STITCH, THE LITTLE RED WOLF. So for kids and 4 color are a must.

What happens to the kids AFTER they win Masterchef or Top Chef Junior and they go back to real life after being on tv for three months? Do they feel pressure to go to culinary school when they are 17 after spending months saying that's their dream at 11? #MSWL

It's been nearly four years and I'm still dreaming of this project. Someone please write me FOUETTES FOR DAYS. I'd love the teen male POV on ballet with some drama and romance. #MSWL

I love THE MAGICIANS. So I would totally be down to see a #YA magical college setting. #MSWL

I really love Lloyd Alexander. His work is simply beautiful on so many levels. If you can add a #Christian element in a #CSLewis-esque manner - obvious, but not overwhelming, and generally enjoyed regardless of the reader's faith - I would be over the moon. #MSWL #YA, #Fantasy

I want to hear this whole story!
Sending all the best wishes to your mother.
And #MSWL!

#MSWL

I dig it. #MSWL

Damn. Now I want a book about a historically black magical college. Drumline and wands. Stomp the Magic Yard. #mswl

Can someone please write a grown up Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants-esque story for me please? #mswl

If you’re writing smart, very funny and emotionally powerful novels like @GailHoneyman’s Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, send your query my way. #MSWL

Q: What are you esp. looking for right now?
A: Contemporary romance about summer weddings, a romance with a royal prince, beach towns, autumn, or Christmas; cozy mystery/female amateur sleuth. Strong friend/family subplots a plus. #mswl

Q: Are you interested in series?
A: We'd love to see contemporary romance and cozy mystery/amateur female sleuth mysteries. In your synopsis, just give us a paragraph or two about books 2 and 3. #mswl

Q: I'm self-published, and my book has some steamy scenes in it. Can I submit a more wholesome version to you?
A: Sorry, no. For all previously published work, it needs to have met our taste guidelines in the original published form. #mswl

Q: What are some of the most common reasons you reject manuscripts? A: Word count is way too short; story is too serious (we're looking for fun, lighthearted stories); story is too sexy; MCs not likeable/nice enough. #mswl

Thread: answering a few FAQs about submissions! #mswl
Q: I published this novel with another publisher. Will you read it and see if you want to make it into a movie?
A: No, sorry. That's not our department. We're looking for books we can publish (which might become movies later.)

wow. sounds like my kind of town. except the liquor part - I'd probably have to open a wine bar or a craft beer brewery if I moved there. :) sounds like the perfect setting for a #cozymystery! #mswl
