Have I mentioned how much I want to represent Graphic Novels? I'm open to MG and YA! Especially diverse voices and stories. #mswl.

Hi #writingcommunity! I have 9 middle-grade queries in my box right now. I WANT MORE.
Adventure, Fantasy, sci-fi, magical realism, horror, historical, everything!
Also, I am open to considering non-fiction middle-grade novels, especially LGBTQ+ and STEM for girls. #MSWL

A couple things I REALLY want to read right now.
Historical YA with no magic, especially if its gothic/southern gothic.
Romantic Comedies, but with a new twist or perspective. Example: diverse backgrounds, gender-bending, or a retelling of Shakespeare/fairtales/myths. #mswl

Does anyone write YA Historical without magical elements? Because I would LOVE to see more of that in my box. #amwriting #amquerying #MSWL pic.twitter.com/oGEUxcGkdAI adored Little Women, Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, and Little Princess and a child. I'd love to see stories like those but with a modern/diverse voice like GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO VICE AND VIRTUE. #mswl

Some ideas? How about:
- 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, but gay.
- a POC BRIDGET JONES DIARY
- a millennial SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
- a neurodiverse YOU GOT MAIL
- a plus-size of FIRST 50 DATES (or any book because I need more plus-size characters) #mswl 3/3

Recent romances that I have loved and would like to see comps to:
- RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE
- THE BRIDE TEST
- THE RIGHT SWIPE
Basically, I want to see the next generation of romance. Millennials in romance, #ownvoices, underrepresented groups, and more. #MSWL 2/3

Soooo... there is a lack of romance in my box, and I would like to rectify that. #amquerying
If you have a romance novel you are querying, I would love to see it! #MSWL
I'm looking for romance books that almost cross over into contemporary fiction/women's fiction. 1/3

Hog and Dice @TheHogandDice
Reminder that Shakespeare is Public Domain. You can just take his characters and do what you want. Gargoyles literally turned Macbeth into an immortal monster Hunter. Go ahead and put a time travelling Hamlet in your cyberpunk noir story. Who can stop you?I'm totally here for all the Shakespeare. #mswl

I'm just going to throw this out there. I loved THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera. If you have anything that could comp this, please send it my way! #mswl
