I am open to queries!

Check out the tweets in this thread (before and after this tweet) for some of my #MSWL

· 27 Oct 2022

I want to see more asexual, demisexual, gray ace, aromatic, and all the ace spectrum rep. More platonic relationships. Best friend romances. No sex, just cuddle romcoms. There just isn't enough. #MSWL

· 25 Oct 2022

YA will be a hard sell for me. Although, I still love any game element or competition. Mystery in the vein of TRULY DEVIOUS and INHERITANCE GAMES is high on my list. Also, historical fantasy such as AND I DARKEN. #MSWL

· 25 Oct 2022

I'm still looking for a funny middle-grade novel in the vein of Rick Riordan Presents. Other comps include Ms. Marvel, ATLA, or a really gay School for Good and Evil. #MSWL

Authors/illustrators from underrepresented communities will be given priority. #BLM #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Neurodivergent #BodyPositivity #MSWL

@TeeEss Ok, but cute romcom idea. A crime podcast fantastic starts talking to a strange guy on a dating app, decides to go out on a date in hopes of catching a murderer for a case they've been following, but ends up totally falling for the guy. Spoiler, happy ending (not murder)

I don't have the bandwidth to write this, but if someone else wants to write it for me.... #MSWL

bobahumbug @bobaheadshark

thinking of a romcom where dev patel's a snobby city journalist, and lana condor's a romance novellist who also writes thrillers under a different pen name. he puts the romance novel on his "worst of" list and the thriller under "best", not knowing they're by the same person– pic.twitter.com/Yq99CI5fTI

I want this romcom so much. #mswl

Hey, #dvpit! I'm hoping to go through a look for all the happy, sappy pitches, but if I miss yours, I'd love to see MG and YA stories of love, friendship, and families. #MSWL

I wouldn't be sad if someone sent me a story about a modern-day harem, reverse harem, etc. #mswl

British GQ @BritishGQ

#SquidGame is currently Netflix’s most-watched show in 90 countries (including the UK), and the streaming service announced today that it is on track to become its most popular series of all time, meaning it would dethrone current champion Bridgerton.
