The โ€œrat invasionโ€ part of this story was pretty scary (not intended to be by the author) but still the thought ... unsettling. nbcnews.com/politics/natioโ€ฆ

Remember MRS. FRISBY & THE RATS OF NIMH? Iโ€™m 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

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.

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)
-are inspiring memoirs

#MSWL - books where the setting & premise are woven together. A rambling hotel or estate (I'm looking at you, @EBain!), a small town with secrets, a cruise ship, a sprawling library, a museum (would love a MIXED UP FILES or a NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM type book) etc.

#MSWL - middle grade exploring crushes, loves, and heartbreak. My heart was pretty much constantly being broken in 6th grade. Letโ€™s talk about it.
