Seeing lots of space operas this morning. So fun.
P.S. I'd love to find your version of HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY meets [fill in the blank]. Throw in a dash of romance, and I'm hooked! #MSWL
(The answer is "42," but what is the question?)

"Sci-fi & fantasy novels. I love them. I read a ton of them. But they have to be accessible.What does that mean? It means that readers who don't traditionally pick up much sci-fi/fantasy, can pick up one of these novels & enjoy it." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

For the YA crowd. Today I learned, directly from a teen boy, that high school guys are wearing their girlfriends’ scrunchies on their wrists to indicate they’re taken. pic.twitter.com/ycWYEx2Zr3Literary Agent

Have I mentioned how much I want to represent Graphic Novels? I'm open to MG and YA! Especially diverse voices and stories. #mswl.

1) Heard fellow Hoosier Buttigieg say something today that I completely relate to: “I didn’t realize how Midwestern I was until I left the Midwest.” First moving South at 18 And then I didn’t realize how very American I was til I saved every dollar I earned to go to Paris at 21.2) It got me thinking about why I love travel stories or fish out of water stories or stories of cultures different from my own, particularly in the young adult space. Travel stretches you in ways you can’t anticipate. #MSWL But at heart, still a midwestern girl here in NYC 😉

Writing up an edit memo for a dark, fraught, twisty, emotional upmarket thriller while listening to Holly Jolly Christmas and Santa Baby and various other jingle-belly songs pic.twitter.com/Esv2rGbk9bCome to think of it, All I Want For Christmas Is You could be pretty threatening. #MSWL??!

Thank you to the TikTok video my kids were watching this morning. May I please have a contemporary YA set in a boarding school. Could be bubbly, could be broody. You do you. #MSWL
