It’s a 5 day beach vacation so I have two new hardcovers, an ebook, and two audiobooks. But is it enough?

Happy Pub Day to two of my authors today! @beabirdsong.bsky.social and @lindsayhameroff.bsky.social, both deliver the laughs for very different audiences.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

#MSWL ultimately I don’t even know what I don’t know I want. If you wrote brilliant commercial fiction, I want to see it.

like, people say "MSWL" like they say "google it" now; it's a term and function so ubiquitous that I think people forget that it hasn't always existed, that people actually had the idea and created it. the @manuscriptacademy.bsky.social team deserves way more credit than they get on that.

If you find me through #MSWL Day and you’d like to submit: please query me at submissions at Stonesong dot com and include my name in the letter. I’d love to hear from you!

#MSWL: I might as well speak it into the universe— more puzzle books! Puzzle books with a unique spin, whether that’s plot or a new puzzle style or a voice all their own.

Melissa Edwards @melissaedwards.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

More #MSWL: dark romance of all sorts. I love how dark romance is pushing boundaries. Would be happy to see it expand even further.

Melissa Edwards @melissaedwards.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Happy #MSWL day! I’d love to see more thrillers in my inbox. All sorts: procedurals, psychological suspense, domestic, espionage, assassin. All commercial thriller, all day.

I’m thrilled to share this deal! ME TOO!, written by me and illustrated by John Ledda, will be out in the world in 2027! So many thanks to @nancyrosep.bsky.social, @caitlintutterow.bsky.social, and my agent, @melissaedwards.bsky.social!

Nancy Paulsen and Caitlin Tutterow at Penguin/Nancy Paulsen Books have bought world rights to Me Too! by Bea Birdsong, illustrated by John Ledda, a picture book inspired by a popular call-and-response classroom game employed by teachers in the beginning of the school year to render connections among students. Publication is scheduled for summer 2027; Melissa Edwards at Stonesong represented the author, and Ana Crespo at East West Literary Agency represented the illustrator.

Hard to believe that a year and a half after it's release, Murdle is the #8 book in the US. I hope everyone who bought a copy for Christmas has a wonderful time solving the murders with their loved ones!

Nothing makes me request a query faster than a solid premise and a bad title I know I could help improve

I want for books what Taylor Sheridan is doing for TV: propulsive, soapy, high drama, gripping, wrong in a good way, can’t look away. #mswl
