I want to find a manuscript that embodies the creepy #dystopian vibes of eating at the fancy Blue Lagoon restaurant but everyone is in white robes. #mswl

Starting a new series where I share impossibly specific manuscripts I want to read. Open to any length or genre. Sub link in bio. #mswl #amquerying #writersoftwitter #WritingCommunity #booktwt #book #BookTwitter #AuthorsOfTwitter 🧵

@Berylaegis Exactly!

But also a manuscript with a "boring" job. Architects and advertising executives are sexy but show me the mortgage underwriter, welder, window salesperson. For example, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata is incredible. (We didn't publish just big fans.) #mswl

And lastly for today, I want a #romance with no third act break up. Find a new way to build tension. Or a het romance that bucks gender roles. Can be separate books but would be 🤌🏻 if it was both. #mswl

Speaking of transportation, I want a manuscript with a MC who is a #digitalnomad. #mswl

Transportation gets a bad reputation for all the tv, movies and books that show m*rders and t*rrorists. I want to read a manuscript that takes place on a plane, train, bus, or boat, but no one ☠️. #mswl

I just watched the Woodstock '99 docuseries (woah!), And now want to read manuscripts based at/on a music festival. Again, open to any genre. #mswl

First up: Math #fiction. I love science fiction and some of the best parts are all the wild calculations people do on the fly in space. #MathIsCool

Example I admire but didn't publish: Ted Chiang's Division by Zero story

Anyone else use #reading to bribe themselves to go to the gym?

[Problem Child Publishing @problemchildpub]

This is the funniest, most relatable book I've read in ages. Thank you for sharing your stories #SamanthaIrby!

So my childhood library (@MorleyLibrary) just followed me on TikTok! 🤓🥳 Showed my mom and she finally thinks I'm doing a good job! *just kidding, she has no idea what I do...

I read a book a day, half of which is #nonfiction, most of those are recommended by @schizoreads. His reviews are fair, inclusive, and diverse. The @nytimes (@nytimesbooks) NEEDS his voice on their staff.

[Problem Child Publishing @problemchildpub]

As proof we cannot do it all, I was feeling super proud of myself for returning so many physical library books only to check my digital library books and it's gotten out of control...
