Happy HollZABÉs ⛄️🌲❄️ @ZREllor

I want more queer romances with problematic morally-grey characters, I want queer Zukos and queer Jude/Cardans and queer Salvatore brothers. I love cinnamon roll queers but I hate the feeling that queer characters NEED to be morally upstanding to exist in YA

Let’s say this louder for the people in the back!!! #mswl

I know we're all about Hades/Persephone but you know what Greek mythology couple doesn't get the appreciation they deserve? Ariadne and Dionysus. Girl gets stranded on an island by the fuckboi "hero" who couldn't find his way out of a paper bag and runs off with the God of Wine.

THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF NATHANIEL P meets HADESTOWN just shot to the top of my #MSWL

Shout out for popular non-fiction proposals!

*submissions alert* We are looking for brilliant, engaging non-fiction!

I am particularly interested in nature and climate writing, food, drink and travel, and deep-dives into weird and wonderful subjects.

We are looking for original commercial non-fiction. I am particularly interested in history, popular science, travel and politics. Looking for a strong narrative voice and original thinking/views/research plus an immersive read: katenashlit.co.uk/non-fiction/ #MSWL

I'm so deeply in love with the Magnus Archives - it scratches the same itch Sarah Monette's BONE KEY does. Send me your episodic horror and your emotionally unavailable conspiracy chasing librarians 😭 #MSWL

Horror

· 27 Nov 2019

Just saw @rivercitygirls while browsing for new games and now I want a spunky, over-the-top contemporary YA about two friends (or rivals) who need to work together to save their SOs that doesn't take itself too seriously, plus humor and MCs that pack a punch.

Hi #amquerying! A reminder that you have three days to get your queries to me before I close for the month of December. No rush, though - if you’re not quite ready, I’ll see you in the new year!

You can find my #MSWL & how to query me here: jdlit.com/erin-clyburn.

"As for weirdly specific things I'm looking for... I'm dying to find a great book about a cult or a survivalist or a plague... maybe all of them in one?" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

The New York Times @nytimes

This year at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, astronaut Snoopy might not be cleared for take off, the famously buoyant SpongeBob SquarePants could wind up deflated and Olaf from “Frozen” could find himself melting into a heaping puddle on the pavement nyti.ms/2XQ2BjE

So who is writing the picture book about the Thanksgiving Day parade balloons who go on strike....??? #MSWL

Jessica Sinsheimer @jsinsheim

I love this podcast episode with @HeatherCashman. You likely know her from PitchWars. Now, hear her talk about writing, agenting, and her view from both sides of the desk. Stream here: soundcloud.com/user-965795498… 🎧 @MSWLMA

My #MSWL podcast is live! Thanks for the fun, @jsinsheim, and for all you do for the #WritingCommunity!

@Nicole_Cliffe I would watch a prestige tv documentary called The Executor, following their quest to track down every twitter bequest in your will.

I'd rep this novel. #MSWL

Recently started listening to Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series in audio, so am naturally updating my #MSWL to ask for big, emotional, multigenerational, historical/dual timeline stories with a strong thread of history/art/astrology or similar:
