Here are a handful of the very specific things I'd like to find for my client list (more over at the #MSWL site!): a journalistic dive into MLMs; contemporary romance w/ protagonists/love interests who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or disabled; MG fiction by #actuallyautistic authors

Just updated my listing at #MSWL with all the things I'm looking for for my client list! Writers looking for agents, I hope you'll check it out! Thank you, as always, to the fine folks of @ManuscriptWList! #amquerying manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…

Now that I'm thinking about Mercutio, the character who (fortunately briefly) made me want to be an actor, #MSWL for a contemp R&J YA with Mercutio as the protagonist. He's the perfect fictional teen AND uses his dying breath to make a bad pun. What's not to love?

I badly want your contemporary adult romance with heroes and/or heroines who are from marginalized communities. I know traditional romance publishing has not always been welcoming, and I respect authors who prefer to self-publish, but if you want to try, I want to try. #MSWL

Very actively looking for fiction by #actuallyautistic authors with autistic protagonists, especially in middle grade, especially contemporary fiction. #MSWL

Would love more voice-driven intersectional nonfiction on contemporary society (think Rabia Chaudry, Ijeoma Oluo, or Dylan Marron). #MSWL

Think you've got the contemporary answer to The Westing Game or The Outsiders? That's a high bar, but I want to see it. #MSWL

Always looking for #ownvoices #actuallyautistic contemporary fiction in MG, YA, and adult. Adventure/fantasy in MG as well. #MSWL

#MSWL Gimme all your #ownvoices contemporary commercial fiction with Muslim protagonists. MG, YA, adult. Set here or elsewhere.

#MSWL I would also love to see contemporary, accessible literary novels set in large African cities.
