The โrat invasionโ part of this story was pretty scary (not intended to be by the author) but still the thought ... unsettling. nbcnews.com/politics/natioโฆRemember MRS. FRISBY & THE RATS OF NIMH? Iโm not much for animal protagonists but if you can give me RATS OF NY, entrenched societies, famine, turf wars, kings, democracies, dictators, but a FRISBY w/heart & make it a little scary & 3D world building, I might be in. #MSWL

Looking for more high concept, diverse, adult rom-coms! Must be funny. Must have a good hook. #MSWL

This pandemic is hitting all of us differently on an emotional level, I know, but it's kind of making me crave stories about people worse off than we are... Does this make me a bad person?
Even so, I'd love to see more apocalyptic survival stories in my submissions box! #mswl

Agents, we are still taking submissions! We are slower than usual, but we will get caught up! We really should have a #MSWL but for now you will just have to toss your authors at us in this raging cagefight that is our submissions pit.

@HistoriumU @FolkloreThurs Virtually unique to British Isles, #Bee Boles are recesses in walls were straw baskets containing #honeybees were kept (before bee hives invented). Mostly from C17 and C18, thousands remain. pic.twitter.com/g9Zdd7WTmI#MSWL I'm always looking for nonfiction on bees. History of bees. Beekeeping. Beekeeper fashion. Honey recipes. Art featuring bees. You get the picture. ;)

Wu asserts that these young actor-prostitutes had a lasting effect on the popularity of Beijing opera, much more than its artistic merits.As Beijing opera is considered a national treasure, its rise with the involvement of these actors was deliberately obscured by officials
Very specific #MSWL from an OV author: this thread about theater, same-sex relationships, and imperial Chinese politics

Today is brought to you by the thesaurus, which reminded me of the word "fussbudget." I would like to read a romance novel featuring a fussbudget hero, please. (And, obviously, the person who undoes him.) #mswl

#MSWL I would love to read more YA non-fiction graphic novels that:
-showcase proactive groups of people (think GIRLS WHO RUN THE WORLD)
-deal with serious topics (reproductive rights, loss, mental illness, etc.) in a positive way (can be fiction too)
