I’ve been inspired to put down my book & pick up queries. Focusing on works by BIPOC, Latinx, LGBTQ (esp Trans) authors in fiction & nonfiction #mswl

Deep diving into books all weekend. Well books & baking. Finding I really gravitate toward multi-generational family stories right now. Also, yesterday I baked pie, cookies, banana bread & then made puttanesca. #mswl

The perfect weekend to put it out there that I’ve long wanted to add cocktail, wine & beer books to my list. #mswl also more lifestyle books in general. @AgentJessicaA is your agent for cookbooks. @bookendslit

As well as #ownvoices and stories set outside the United States. I want stories of survival and grief and characters who overcome obstacles. Ah, who am I kidding? I just want a good book to lose myself in. #MSWL

In fiction I definitely want more upmarket, literary, women's fiction as well as suspense, thriller, and mystery. I'm looking for women's stories, personal growth, friendship stories (a friendship breakup book). #LGBTQ stories and authors #MSWL

I've been craving nonfiction about change, the new normal, business, leadership, cocktails, women's health, personal development, social issues, current affairs, mind, body, spirit. Try me if you're not sure. #MSWL

Now that I have a kindle again I'm back to reading submissions--and on the hunt for new clients. My #MSWL and genres can be found on our website bookendsliterary.com/submissions/ -- some hints in the thread

At @bookendslit we've established an incredible list of cozy writers. Believe it or not, we are still looking for cozies. I'd love to see cozies that appeal to a younger & more diverse audience. #MSWL

Wow! I was thrilled to see not one, but two books featuring trans protagonists in today's @PublishersLunch -- I am actively seeking more trans writers and protagonists for my list. #MSWL

I need more books with dogs on my list--fiction and nonfiction. I think, honestly, I need more dogs in my life, but this is a good place to start. #MSWL

I'm trying to convince the Agents of @bookendslit to show up on YouTube more, like these fun videos we did on query pet peeves & our #MSWL -- what other topics would you like to hear about? Query Pet Peeves! youtu.be/7EjybdBSKLQ

& the story of 13 women who joined an Arctic expedition, but not all came back (this was historical, I'd like contemporary). congratulations to both of these authors & their agents. #MSWL

Catching up on @PublishersLunch deal news always inspires me to check my inbox. Today's #MSWL or maybe deal FOMO: CREATE YOUR OWN MIDLIFE CRISIS, pitched as in the style of choose your own adventure

Also seeking nonfiction — business, career, mind, body, spirit, personal development, social & cultural issues, current affairs, race, diversity & women. #MSWL

So far 2020 query numbers are higher than they’ve ever been. Thank you authors for giving me a chance to review your book. Seeking suspense, thriller, mystery, women’s, upmarket & literary fiction. #MSWL

In speculative fiction I’d like to see more climate-related books. Just learned about popping shrimp. Crazy. Books like Dry for adult audiences. #queryme #MSWL querymanager.com/query/Jessica_…
