attempting to set up my #MSWL today! i never thought i'd need to look at wordpress again but here we are

This poem. As a picture book. Wow. #mswl

And, like everyone other publishing person in the world, I would like more graphic novels. (There were two I was very excited about that went to other agents. Sad trombone.) Particularly about MG kids doing fun things? This is vague. #mswl

Not those "episode of the week", let's learn to be nice to people who have disabilities. I want the cool fun stuff they get to do after people stop being jerks! #mswl This also applies for POC, LGBTQIA and other groups that usually have "issue books." JOY BOOKS.

I guess I should post some #MSWL? I'm still a bit ~fragile~ since I'm having a lot of symptoms from my chronic illness. What I want is to find something joyous in my inbox. Especially, I was thinking last night, about people with disabilities or illness.

As promised, I am opening to queries again today. QueryManager.com/EmilyKeyes I hope I'm not jinxing it by opening before the ceremony. But I am feeling hopeful and it's been awhile.

Why some of Kamala Harris' biggest fans are in Canada mercurynews.com/2019/05/07/kam… via @mercnews @boogiedownbooks pointed me to this article about teen Kamala's protest with her sister. Ooh. I love teen activists. #MSWL

High on my #MSWL: Romance set in a world like Kim Harrison's Hollows novels, but fun and quirky instead of dark, for the Mystic Line. cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti…

“Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m now officially accepting submissions for adult rom coms. My sweet spot is big on the com, light to medium on the rom.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Always looking for diverse and #ownvoices stories; especially interested in Christmas/holiday right now. Thanks!

i was an ecology major, but somehow i still reference the episode of the wild thornberrys where eliza ruins the galapagos ecosystem by giving a bird a needle more than anything i learned in college.

anyways, i acquire MG now & i would ❤️ a BIPOC eliza thornberry-esque mc! #mswl

4. A romance where the small-town protagonist decides to go to the big city in the end...maybe gets the courage to follow their dreams again after a setback. (We did this in one movie; did you catch that? 🙂 )

3. Not romance per se: three intertwined love stories. They're all brought together by some Christmas thing. 😄 Maybe one of the couples is in their 60s/70s/80s?
#MSWL #Hallmark

2. Still looking for sweet LGBTQ+ romance in general, Christmas or not; not a coming-out story. Looking for clear conflict to the romance on both sides; being gay is not the conflict. Maybe rivals to romance, second chance, grumpy/sunshine? #MSWL #Hallmark

1. Holiday romance, one celebrates Hanukkah, one celebrates Christmas, different faith traditions are not the romantic conflict (in-depth familiarity with Hanukkah and Jewish faith and culture required) #MSWL

I'd love to get these for @HallmarkPublishing. if you've published full-length romance, we can start with a 3-4 pp. synopsis. Novels only, not scripts; no previously published work. DM for email.

I am very hungry for more middle grade. Especially ones with ALL THE FEELS~ and explores diverse familial relationships. Last year 2 of my clients debuted their MGs and you should all check em out to see the type of MG I enjoy and am looking for. #MSWL simonandschuster.com/books/What-If-…

The content I crave! So like...duh #mswl

That's it for now on my #mswl. If there's ever a hesitation, go ahead and shoot me a query! So excited to get started!
