Was rewatching Apocalypto last night and got a huge desire to see a #YA portrayal of Mayan Civilization in my inbox. Is that possible? Someone please send! #MSWL #amagenting #amreading

Q5. For Kate: Following on from the previous question: what would you like to see more of in romance, or possibly less of? #ukromchat @katenashagent @linalanglee pic.twitter.com/bjQY5tWKDSI'm looking for 1. Sweeping epics in war, like Gone With The Wind. 2) Romance reflecting today's UK diverse communities, such as inner cities or very rural. 3) a real Victorian rags-to-riches tear-jerker. 4) In romcom, new settings like @KarenAldous_ Alps #MSWL #UKRomChat

HUGE new NYT investigation about location data. Your whereabouts (home, school, church), pulled from apps on your phone, then sold to advertisers and even hedge funds. A weather app is doing an alarming amount more with your data than providing a forecast. nyti.ms/2GaRyweThis is terrifying BUT also a great jumping off point for a thriller... #MSWL
(Turn your location off, people! <3)

A storm-damaged tree at Durand-Eastman Park, Rochester, New York, is attracting a lot of attention due to it's resemblance to a famous local ghost named 'White Lady' pic.twitter.com/xHg7KpuU2L#MSWL, especially in conjunction with the Bella in the Wych Elm project I’ve wanted for years!!!

I want more small stories in epic settingsWhat I mean: fantasy worlds, galaxy-spanning space confederacies, magical kingdoms, living cities, etc. etc. etc. as settings but a focus on small stories within those settings
I’m still closed to queries, but when I reopen... 👇 #MSWL

Eternal #MSWL! I love a different genre’s story in an SFF setting—especially if the author has cleverly teased out some smart interactions between the two.

I just listened to a story about The Svalbard Global Seed Vault in the Arctic Circle, and now I desperately want to read a SFF that features an intergalactic version of this amazing place. Maybe it’s a heist book?! #mswl

Microchimerism: where your mother's or children's cells live on in you & can help or hinder your health. Eg your child's fetal cells can repair your heart, prevent breast cancer & Alzheimer's; your mom's cells can prevent preeclampsia. #science #sciencefact twitter.com/newscientist/s…This is *wild* to think about...
