My #MSWL Madness post is up on the BookEnds blog! I talk about what I'm looking for in #pb, #mg, #ya and #gn fiction and nonfiction, and showcase the type of illustration that I have on my list: bookendsliterary.com/2018/03/15/tra…

I would love to see some humorous picture book manuscripts! #MSWL #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebook

And I'm always looking for illustrated picture books by professional illustrators! Definitely send a link to your art portfolio when querying. #MSWL

Inspired by the last DaVinci going up for auction, literary fiction about art theft or lost paintings #MSWL

1. Mysteries based on lost, legendary works of art. I've said it before & I'll say it again: museums & libraries & cemeteries, oh my! #MSWL

I'd love to see a book that juices up otherwise "boring" topics with workbook-style prompts or art. Personal finance maybe? #MSWL

I want to learn something: little-known history, myth, obscure art or science. Make sure it's integrated into the plot! (A mystery?) #MSWL

#MSWL Bold, intense art and rhythmic text appeals to me. Email a PDF dummy if you are an author-illustrator. Visit olswanger.com.

There's so totally a YA novel in this. Bonus points if awesome collage-y art interstitials are included. #MSWL

Finally made it to the @HighMuseumofArt & now I’m craving a project that features some high-stakes art heists! #MSWL

#MSWL! (maybe the fox is a shape shifting art thief? maybe a museum-dwelling fox in a children's book?) twitter.com/xjoydivisionx/…

I'm for everything Belle Epoch, Gilded Age, Art Nouveau, Art Deco. Give me something w/that feel and I'm yours #MSWL

Narrative NF on social hist, archaeology, art hist, material culture. Think The Bronte Cabinet or Lives in Ruins. #mswl

Surely I'm not the only one who loves tracking down clues from art, poetry, lit. Think Possession, Da Vinci Code, Traitor Angels. #mswl

Semi joke #mswl: She's All That, but Laney Boggs is a #witch and also #noromo. Just #art and #witches

Pop hist or narrative NF on social hist, archaeology, art hist, material culture. Think The Bronte Cabinet or Lives in Ruins. #mswl 4/7

Still looking for domestic thrillers, literary thrillers and psychological suspense #mswl (Luckiest Girl Alive, Art Forger, The Widow)

I'm just thinking abt opportunities for fandom influence on WIPs. Life imitating art. Self-discovery. All that delicious YA stuff. #mswl

Books that play with narrative structure or incorporate different mediums (art, photography, illustrations, etc.). #MSWL #YA #MG #LF

#MSWL I'd love a YA Female protag. into Science, Math, Engineering, etc. I see a lot of music, art, fashion, film & baking. More #MATHLETES
