I won't say just because this is my professional Twitter but I will say I was younger than expected and my German mother had already been telling me about periods for years. Still didn't recognize mine when it happened or even fully understand what having a period meant. twitter.com/1mercysarah/st…For any writers out there writing about menstruation (#mswl) remember that knowing=/=understanding. And also kids sometimes think they know, but they don't.

I would LOVE more #ownvoices Filipino YA or MG (set in the US or the Philippines) in my slush. My SIL is from the Philippines, my niece/nephew are being raised bilingual, I would love to find a gem to champion! #mswl

The 30,000-foot book is a genre that tries to turn mansplaining into literature.Should it exist?

This tweet and linked article—my nonfiction #MSWL is the OPPOSITE of these “30,000 foot books”

So now that you've seen DON'T DATE ROSA SANTOS by @Nina_Writes (& other books by my authors), maybe buy a copy and read it and look at my #mswl and get a sense of what I enjoy 😉 scribblesandwanderlust.com/2019/01/01/msw…

been thinking for a while how.........interesting it is that abortion books are not deemed to be Important in the way that many other social justice issue books areOkay. If you identify as a woman and are writing a YA that involves abortion (specifically from the POV of the girl having the abortion) please send it my way. #mswl

If I distilled my research properly, then teens want contemporary YA with friendship stories and diverse protagonists, but de-emphazing "issue books." #MSWL

For goodness sake, somebody PLEASE deliver my a plucky fun queer YA historical in the vein of Gentleman Jack #MSWL 🙏🏼

I'm over suspense that features a man controlling the strings with the central protag overpowered and manipulated by him. Give me your thrillers with dynamic leading women. Show me what suspense looks like btwn friends, btwn sisters. Explore these relationships deeply #MSWL

Because I was talking about it today and still haven't seen any in my #queries. I'm still looking for #fantasy in adult and young adult inspired by Mesoamerican folklore. #MSWL realmofhistory.com/2018/08/01/12-… via @RealmofHistory

I wrote last summer about a genre of fantastic art that emerged a few years ago (and has since exploded) and what that might say about our era. I dubbed it “Encountering the Old Gods.” The original gallery was quite large. Here are a few more.rickwayne.blog/2018/07/20/enc… pic.twitter.com/EuOuSeGNaH

So.. I've been in #Poland for the last few weeks. Needless to say, I'm updating my #mswl. Please send me all of your royal Polish family stories (YA history, YA fantasy), stories based on Polish mythology (YA) and historical women's fiction. Who's writing about queen #jadwiga?

So, I mention that I like horror of the downright creepy variety. This will give you a sense of what that would be. As soon as I saw the trailer for this game I almost evil laughed 😉 👻💀 supermassivegames.com/games/man-of-m… #MSWL #YAhorror #ghostship #manofmedan @SuperMGames
