I’d love to see more non-white thriller and suspense writers in my inbox! #mswlSecond this. I consume domestic thrillers on audio like candy. I love them, but the subgenre is overwhelmingly white. I’d love to see queries from non-white authors of twisty domestic thrillers. #MSWL

A century ago in New York, a very large wedding took place — not in spite of the Spanish flu epidemic ravaging the city but precisely because of it nyti.ms/2AxaMdpThis is the kind of obscure Eastern European Jewish superstition content I am here for. (Though this is pretty macabre.) And if you managed to weave it into a YA novel with the actual magical part? Yes. #mswl

To defend against wasps, bees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating bees need to respond with perfect timing when it's their turn to shimmer. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, pic.twitter.com/wCSGYG0zntSomeone feature this gloriously strange bee fact in a novel! It seems like something straight out of science fiction. #MSWL

Today I learned all about Lena Richard, a New Orleanian & the first Black woman to host her own cooking show (also a chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur, & cookbook author). My dad’s family has been in New Orleans since the 1800s, & I’d never heard of Lena. 1/2Literary Agent

Ugh, PLEASE give me a sapphic romance that feels like the song Feel Something by Bea Miller. #mswl

I want a queer romance that feels like Crush Culture by Conan Gray. But with characters who are rough around the edges. I don’t like “sweet” or “nice” characters, I want ones with bite! #mswl

The song drinking games by Silver Sphere is exactly the kind of vibe I want in queer friendships and queer romances in YA and queer Adult romance #mswl (Can y’all tell by now that I want to read stories about “misfit” friend groups????!??)

I’d love a coming of age queer story that feels like the song Scrawny by Wallows #mswl
