i'm desperate for commercial, soap-y, contemporary YA that is both highly aspirational and has high emotional stakes. think anything from casey mcquiston's RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE to jennifer lynn barnes' THE FIXER #mswl

DIVERSE LOVE STORIES, DIVERSE ROM COMS, DIVERSE ROM DRAMS! 💕💕💕 please send me anything in the vein of jenny han's TATBLIB, sandhya menon's WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI, maurene goo's THE WAY YOU MAKE ME FEEL, and gloria chao's AMERICAN PANDA #mswl

Lauren is open to queries! @laurenspieller
@Gabino_Iglesias Upmarket, smart, high stakes that go beyond “don’t die.” Get Out, Parasite are good movie comps, Lauren Beukes is a good book comp even though I know she’s not strictly horror, also Anita Ahlborn and Joe Hill. Honestly I just want something that grabs me and has something to SAY#mswl: the horror & twisted spec fic I want to see in 2020

“I’d love to read some vibrant, Broadway/West End musical fiction. Give me glamour and behind-the-scenes action. Interesting, dramatic, but contemporary and upmarket.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

LFPL @LFPL
On September 25, 1905, LFPL's Western Branch opened. It was the first public library in the U.S. to serve and be fully staffed by African-Americans, and was headed up by librarian Thomas Fountain Blue. Photo c/o "The Kentucky African American Encyclopedia." pic.twitter.com/bvZjC3YrcAAmazing. Y’all I have a beautiful WPA Kentucky pack horse librarian novel about to go on submission, but I’d love to find a historical or WF historical inspired by this! #mswl
