Just watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice and would really love a descendant of Merlin story with a BIPOC female protagonist. #MSWL

I read a lot of popular science books.Authorship of science nonfiction has a serious diversity problem.
Are you a woman and/or POC and/or LGBTQIA+ individual who loves STEM?
WRITE A BOOK. DO IT. PLEASE.
I will do my best to keep up with reviewing and sharing them! 📚🔬
#MSWL I really want to see nonfiction popular science book proposals by authors from underrepresented groups in my inbox!

I wrote about the co-optation of Hot Girl Summer. "If you don’t support Black women, give them access, and make them feel seen in the products you’re peddling, then you shouldn’t adopt their intraracial phrases to line your pockets." bitchmedia.org/article/brands…Which is why in my previous call for women's fiction or romance manuscripts that are inspired by Hot Girl Summer, I specifically asked to see work by Black women writers.👇🏽 #MSWL

I hope that the biggest takeaway from yesterday in Romancelandia is that romance readers are clearly well-versed in the diversity of the Regency, are excited to see more of it, and trad pubs should be acquiring diverse historicals written by POC/marginalized authors.This is my evergreen #MSWL

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

And on that thought, I definitely want to see more diverse Regency, Gregorian, and Victorian YA in my inbox. I took three different Jane Austen classes in college--I have a mighty need #mswl
Literary Agent
I’m looking for a contemporary romance (single title length) or a rom-com that’s #ownvoices, #diverse, #poc, and/or #lgbtq. #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunity

"Not only does he want folks to know, that rosé is not just for the white consumer, which brands predominantly market towards, but he wants to let it be known that sipping rosé is not exclusively a summertime activity."THE CONTENT I LIVE FOR 🍷💕 #roséallday twitter.com/soulphoodie/st…
Okay I really want like a wine book written by a poc now. #mswl I’ve read like so many wine books. They’re always so damn white.

I'm closed to queries right now but making an exception. My current #MSWL is purely graphic novels. Author, artist, or both, send me your work. Would love to see POC & LGBTQ creators especially. ❤️

#mswl - amazing stories about what human, animal or plant bodies can do (e.g. more like on a cellular/biology level, not biographies); NF books about scientific discoveries made by LGBTQIA+, BIPOC or neurodiverse people; a how-to book for teens about divestment and eco-activism;

Would love a thriller written by a POC or featuring POC characters #MSWL

Would love a rom com featuring POC characters and how their families tie into it all. I want them defying stereotypes, but loving, respecting, and owning their culture. #MSWL
