#MSWL: Sister Rosetta Tharpe. That’s it that’s the tweet.

Me too. Someone get on this #mswl

I have always loved the Salem Witch Trials. but I was watching a show recently on Smithsonian channel that talked about what was happening in England at the same time. FASCINATING. Give us tangential history to the well trodden paths. #MSWL

Not gonna lie: that poison dress book sounds really cool, now that I have said it. So I am going to say it: a narrative NF about poison and the non-poison uses in history. #MSWL

I'm gonna plug @wensday95's #MSWL here because basically her adult taste is what sounds so cool to me in kids: twitter.com/wensday95/stat…

I think a book that also talks about tough subjects would be cool. Like racial issues, a death manual (as in like how to talk about it, etc), financial planning. And why it is important TO talk about these things. There is so much that isn't talk about until BOOM! adult. #MSWL

I want a narrative nonfiction on history. Or even facts. Like @alexandraovery keeps telling me about the dresses dyed with poison. That's just cool. #MSWL

So everyone knows I am looking for a YA true crime. What does this look like? IDK. But I wants it. #MSWL

#MSWL -- please send the below to me, too!

#MSWL a story set on earth in a time that’s been lost to us. Think about all the monumental buildings and structures that we wonder how the agents built. What if they existed in a technological world that was lost to us. I want a story set in that world.

Gritty's memoir. #MSWL.

After lunch, I am going to do a #MSWL for YA Non-fiction. Because I am ready to start seeing more in that arena.

Also, does anyone have a YA historical horror MS? Please query me. All the better if it's gothic and queer. #MSWL

I’m cautiously expanding my children’s list for picture books and middle grade, but illustrator authors only, please, for now. #MSWL

I’m also open to unusual and/or weird craft or DIY books; smart unexpectedly clever humor (I know it when I see it); artists who elicit unexpected laughter, joy, tears, reflection; books on architecture and design; books with a specific but surprising lens on the world. #MSWL

For anything narrative, give me a first paragraph, a first page that tells me I’m going to be in good, capable hands, but that also gives me the joy of discovery. @louisethebaker's first paragraph of The City Baker's Guide to Country Living is a mater class in exactly that. #MSWL

If you write about food and life, do it with the passion and beauty of Ruth Reichel, or Molly Wizenberg. #MSWL

If you write literary fiction, elevate the ordinary and let it be exquisite (not precious), like Simon van Booy, and Colum McCann. Surprise me, make me look or think twice, as does Anne Enright in the Forgotten Waltz. #MSWL

For those of you w/ short story collections, I adore Wells Tower, Miroslav Penkov, Jim Shepard, Laura van den Berg, Charlotte Forbes, and Lauren Groff, who IMHO is a national treasure. #MSWL

If you write memoir or essay collections, show me your rawest, most honest self on the page, like Jo Ann Beard, or Alexandra Fuller. I also am looking for memoir that tells two compelling stories, such as H is for Hawk. #MSWL
