As a woman in business, I read business books & listen to podcasts & seek out those by women. But I’m discouraged that most are still written by white men. Is there a belief that the audience for these books will only read white men?I’d like to see more books by POC & women that are written for ALL business owners & entrepreneurs. #mswl just because a book is written by a woman why do we target only women in the subject?

I am looking for upmarket or literary speculative fiction like STATION ELEVEN, but I'm not right for straight fantasy or SFF. #MSWL So yes, I might be right for this, but I would only know if I read the query.

As you know I've been on the hunt for more #ownvoices and #diversebooks in nonfiction & fiction in mystery, suspense, thriller, upmarket & literary, & women's fiction. #MSWL

While #ownvoices and #diversebooks have caught on in YA, I'm still struggling to see it in adult and, frankly, that's what I want more of. #MSWL My target genres right now are: literary & upmarket fiction, mystery, suspense, thriller, & women's fiction.I would love to see more POC & LGBTQ characters starring in all of these areas. I want them living their best (or not best) lives, but I'm not as interested in coming out stories as such. #MSWL

It is nearly impossible to get blacklisted period, but especially because you query again. The worst that can happen is a “no” #quertipAgents want queries. We can’t get clients without them. A slow of empty inbox is depressing. #querystats

I'm looking for an author, not just a book. Someone with a great voice, a terrific plot, and fun and exciting characters. I'm looking for someone who wants to grow, be edited & is open to making a career shift if the market requires it. #MSWLI want an author who knows this is a business, even if they're not yet sure what that means. I want an author who is willing to take the downs with the ups & is prepared to fight back up when the downs happen. #MSWL
