I’ve seen a lot of requests for books about kindness lately. Today I saw a list focused on kindness.where are the lists of picturebooks focused on power, privilege & social justice? kindness feels like someone saying “calm down” when the house is on fire. pic.twitter.com/NzbGzUcTAV

Watching one of my favorite movies: THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. This tale of revenge is my fave. #MSWL

If you start out with some variation of “so there’s this weird/creepy town” I’m probably already interested. #MSWL

Hey friends👋
A reminder that murder mystery is *NOT* for me! #amquerying #MSWL

When @MetamorphLitAg opens back up for queries in the new year-very high on my #mswl are holiday romances featuring LGBTQ, POC, characters with disability, chronic illness/invisible illness. #amquerying #writingcommunity can’t wait to see your work!

Bisexuals of the Blade @fancy_foxtrot
Hello Twitter -- a friend of ours posted a photo of our wedding and we were surprised how it blew up. Thank you for all the positive comments! We've decided to share some more photos. pic.twitter.com/jjwF3GHanBTHERE’S MORE!
Someone write it—the more photos we get, the more sure I am that these are the protagonists of a wuxia novel who find each other at a British university (because colonialism) AND THEN THEY DECOLONIZE IT

I’m gearing up for 2020 and decided to add picture books to my wish list, but I’m also removing adult fantasy and adult sci-fi. I still want MG and YA in those (and other) genres. See my pinned tweet for deets. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Seeking: Adult: suspense/thrillers, horror, contemporary romance, rom-com, & mysteries. YA: suspense/ thrillers, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, & contemporary. MG: Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, adventure, mysteries, & humor. Picture books too!!! #diversity #MSWL

#mswl I would love something like the brothers bloom but with sisters - jokes, supportive relationships embedded in bad habits & baggage, ultimately love & kindness, heists or heists adjacent adventure? And Rachel weisz’s face. Would be good.

I'd love to read an #ownvoices historical vampire story. #mswl

literally every part of this trailer works for me pic.twitter.com/bFor6rgql4Ok I know im not open to queries right now BUT when I am #mswl

I'd also like some speculative YA/MG where weird stuff happens and characters are forced together to figure it out.
Think The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman or The Bone Houses by Emily-Lloyd Jones.

In the new year, I'll really be on the hunt for contemporary YA and MG! Whether it's romance, growing up, dealing with hard stuff, figuring out friends, I want all of it.#MSWL #amquerying
Think Summer Bird Blue or Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman, Ivy Aberdeen's Letter to the World by Ashley Blake, or How To Be Remy Cameron by Julian Winters.

I loved the unique POVs of these MG books—a parrot, a gorilla, an imaginary friend. Writing from a perspective like this is a tall order, but when a writer gets it right it can be breathtaking. I’d love to find an incredible MG novel with a unique narrator! ✨ #MSWL
