In all ages and genres I am seriously hoping to see more books starring mc's with disabilities. #ownvoices especially encouraged. I want to see stories that show the full range of life and experiences--joy, accomplishments, ambition, sadness, friendship, love. #MSWL

Would also love an ownvoices sweeping literary family saga that focuses on generational inheritance in any sense (trauma, land, etc.) #MSWL

I'm open to queries again! Would love some compelling YA/MG (maybe some social justice thrown in?), can't-put-down Book Club fiction, a good Thriller #ownvoices #MSWL stringerlit.com

#MSWL Anyone have an #ownvoices horror that combines Octavia Butler, Lynch and elements of David Robert Mitchell?

Is anyone else into the show Let's Eat because I'd really love a #ownvoices #DV, contemporary #YA book with the same kind of style about a MC who just lives for food. Also if it could include some mouth-watering descriptions I would appreciate it. Cool thanks! #mswl

Okay, time for my first #mswl thread. 🎇😍

I desperately want a really well done polyamorous YA romance. I would prefer this come from an #ownvoices author because polyamory isn't just an "open relationship" and it's not cheating. #mswl

I will also take poly romance for NA and Adult too. ;-)

Happy Monday, everyone! Today is brought to you by the letter "M" so I figured, why not do some #MSWL! (See, what I did there? Yeah, no one ever said I was cool.)

So, if you have a MS that matches something I'm looking for, please query me! I'd love to see it in my inbox.

When it comes to literary, I actively search for #ownvoices works, but especially those from the POC, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities. I'm not really looking for Americana stories right now. Nothing wrong with being the next John Steinbeck, it just wouldn't be for me. #mswl

ULTIMATE #MSWL please someone give me an #ownvoices #Hmong #YA novel about immigration and the #SecretWar. We need this story, especially for teens. No more hidden history.

Hey #MSWL: Am seeking a great love story with dimension, humor, and a strong commercial hook. Think ONE DAY or THE LIGHT WE LOST, but not necessarily a weepy. I am esp eager to read #ownvoices stories or underrepresented narratives in this space.

#MSWL contemp w/ #ownvoices rep for mental illness.

I don’t want a pretty glittering version of it bc lets be real mental illness sucks a big back of dicks.

Give me the thoughts none of us voice that make us feel like the world is going to swallow us whole.

&then give me hope.
