Can I have a horror novel about a young girl who carries around a doll (like a modern day American girl doll type doll - not old school creepy). And wherever she goes, bad things happen—but is it the girl or the doll? #MSWL SCARE ME. MAKE ME QUESTION THINGS.

In honor of Holly Black's Queen of Nothing release today, I'd love more fantasy with complicated court politics like this series. Other examples, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkowski, and Crown Duel/Court Duel by Sherwood Smith. #MSWL

General PSA that I'm only looking for projects in the sci-fi/fantasy genres on the YA side, not adult. #MSWL

Would love a YA where a Korean teenager sees her life as a mirror to her favorite Korean soap opera. Grew up watching these with my best friend, and think it could be unique set up. High humor, some romance, a whole lotta' drama, & strong plot. #MSWL

K. Tempest Bradford is Giving Thanks @tinytempest

Based on the conversation about the Babylonian recipe tablets and how a woman figured they were recipes and the men didn't believe her, tell me more stories about women researchers/scholars whose perspective as women changed the way we look at some ancient thing.

A herd of elephants marched 12 hours to the house of Lawrence Anthony after he died – the man who saved them. They stayed there silent for two days.

Exactly one year after his death, to the day, the herd marched to his house again. It is something that science cannot explain. pic.twitter.com/xWJXJW3vJw

#MSWL MG or YA magical realism exploring elephants’ special connection to death and the afterlife/ghosts/life energy

My dudes (because it is always the dude writers), it does not give a female main character “strength” to be sexually assaulted for the sake of “character building” in her first chapter. It just shows that you’re a hack. Consider this my anti-#MSWL.
