Soon, my clients will all either be writing or on sub, so I'm hungry to sign a new author. (Yes, I do have a few fulls to read; I'm getting to them!) I'd give my proverbial right arm for a big-hearted middle grade right now. Something a little magical, like HELLO, UNIVERSE. #MSWL

THE ENGLISH GAMEIf you liked Downton Abbey, you’ll love this new show from creator Julian Fellowes. Here he tackles the story of two footballers on opposite sides of a class divide who forge a bond that helps bring the upper-class sport to the masses in England, circa 1870. pic.twitter.com/oql0eceD1U
I just started watching this and I hereby request a Victorian football romance ⚽️💖 #mswl

If you want a female, queer feminist Sandlot crew... if you loved the dynamics of the kids in Stranger Things... if you loved Roller Girl... if you wanted Whip It to be queer... then you'll love THE DERBY DAREDEVILS! #kidlitgoesviral twitter.com/AmieKaufman/st…I know this author is talking about her book that already exists, and which you should go buy, but also big #MSWL for anything that sounds like this!

“We have no other daughters”
Shoe only fits her bc foot is bigger than most
And the prince doesn’t care.

There are many ways to tell #ownvoices stories about queer identity, Asian/diaspora culture, & HEAs that don’t endanger real people! Clearly there’s a market for it, which is great!Write your own. These themes—love, identity, marriages of convenience—are everywhere & universal.
This is just to say, I am still *extremely here* for all your super queer CRAZY RICH ASIANS meets EMPIRE OF SAND novels. #mswl

"Stay away," the sirens sang, "do not come close!"Ships still came.
"Is it our voices?" the sirens asked.
They sat silent as a ship came.
"Is it our appearance?" they asked, watching the wreck.
They hid. A ship came searching for them.
"Maybe," they said, "it's not our fault."
Oh hi, #MSWL

Seeing a lot of 'timely' manuscripts (read 'dystopian') in our submissions inbox when all I want is ESCAPISM.
I want your fluffy romances, the book equivalent of a Bollywood film, feel-good cosy stuff with a great hook that make you WANT to stay in.

I started THE RADIUM GIRLS right before this whole business began, which has been weird, but wow, what a stunning, horrifying book. It will enrage, then enrage you more that workers are similarly fighting for humane rights 100 years later. (Also, #MSWL: nonfiction like this.)
