@ericsmithrocks hi, it's me, I'm the audience for this and and an entire series of YA books featuring other dawn of the internet delights (there's gotta be an IRC one, of course)OMG. Please someone give me a book where teens swap super long ICQ numbers. #MSWL

Every time I type “bbs” instead of “babies” I’m reminded how badly I want an early 90’s YA novel with a teen running a bulletin board system (BBS) on their computer.
“Who is the audience for dawn of the Internet niche YA-“
Shush! Gimme. #MSWL

Inspired by @FriendZonePod’s Industry Plant episode, @AintTooProud show on The Temptations, and Beyoncé’s forthcoming #Homecoming doc, I’d love a character driven behind-the-music style book. Fiction or non-fiction, YA or adult. #mswl

I'm going to need everyone who talks about books to stop calling things "magical realism" if it doesn't centralize a post-colonial perspective and critique of regimes, government, and socio-political oppression. Some magic in your white bread town doesn't make it magical realism.

Speaking of conferences, why has no one written a novel about someone getting murdered at a mystery writers' convention where EVERYone thinks they're the person who can figure out whodunit? #mswl#MSWL #YA Um so I found out they do actually stage a murder at mystery writers convention that you are meant to solve. So YES to this

Ingrid Goes West is a movie I think about a lotttt and I'd love to see some sort of YA project in this same vein. #MSWL

He isn't doing anything illegal, but is it APPROPRIATE? HELL NO. Could you imagine this, but in a small town, where a behavior like rubbing the girl's shoulders or something else could be excused. Or had been so internalized by the town? 3/All this to say, I am not a fan of abuse books, but this kind of book would fascinate me. Someone from the outside, who sees this, and sees something off and doesn't know what it is, but knows it is wrong. And then has to fit the town's internalized acceptance of it. #MSWL #YA

Clarification on #MSWL for #NA when considering to submit to Flannery Literary:
#NA (New Adult) - Looking for protags that are just finishing HS thru college-age (18-24ish). They should be dealing with issues prevalent in #YA and issues relating to transitioning into adulthood.

Who remembers the Amelia’s Notebook series? This morning I randomly woke up thinking about how completely obsessed I was with these books as a kid, and now it is my editor dream to find something with which we can resurrect this format. #mswl pic.twitter.com/F9W0IIHY9MI loved these (for obvious reasons among others) and would spend hours poring over every single tiny note and doodle! #MSWL

Today seems like a good time to mention that I would love to see more books about space, whether fiction or nonfiction #MSWL

Growing up, my mom was a doctor at the UN. Her wonderful friends were from all over the world--India, Ghana, Germany, Greece, South Africa, Spain. I also loved when she'd bring home world stories from the UN bookstore. This all fostered my love for international stories! #mswl
