I think cold cases are interesting. Would like to see more of them incorporated in the suspense submissions I see. #MSWL

#writers I'm not against alcohol, but I feel like I'm getting a hangover from some submissions, esp. #thrillers and #suspense. Protagonists drinking bourbon, tequila, whatever, straight (and frequently) doesn't convince me she/he/they are strong or tough or complicated. #mswl

Was talking to an editor today and we both agreed that we desperately want some hilarious girl books for MG, like Diary of A Wimpy Kid for girls instead of boys. #MSWL because this would be boss and there’s a need for it.

Yesterday I read BURN FOR ME by @ilona_andrews and I think I have found a new favorite romance series. It is also exactly what I mean when I say I want paranormal or contemporary fantasy that feels new and different. I want more like this! #mswl

Looking for smart, funny & unabashedly geeky queer romcoms. Falling in love mid-RP? Theme park princesses finding each other? A heel and a face pretending to be rivals on the mat and lovers behind closed doors? Cosplayed Cap and Bucky searching for each other post-con? #MSWL

#OnThisDay in 1916, Shirley Jackson was born. If you're looking to start reading her haunting works, we have some suggestions for where to start. on.nypl.org/2EvfbOyA belated Happy Birthday to Shirley Jackson, whose work I discovered only this year and doing so has made me want to find a modern-day version of her genius #MSWL. 🤞🙌

Feeling FOMO after reading two new deals--one an Indian-American #ownvoices debut, the other about an American woman and her life in India with her husband. More of this in 2019, please. #MSWL

Anyone ever see the Spooky Challenge on Musically that they use for Tik Tok ads on Facebook? This one is done to Charlie Puth’s Betty Boop, and the duet in this advertisement/video is hardcore #MSWL worthy.
