Tara 💫 queries open Sept 1st @Literary_Tara

And with this in mind, I'd love to see books with sorting systems or the like. It's one of my favorites things. Hunger Game districts, Percy Jackson demi-god parents, Vampire Academy elementals, also ATLA elements, and so many more. #MSWL twitter.com/Charleywriting…

My #8 #mswl is a trans book or BIPOC book with a sorting system. twitter.com/Literary_Tara/…

As promised, I'll be doing my top 10 #mswl requests to count down to the reopening of my query box at 1 AM EDT! To note, I'm looking to advocate and support authors from underrepresented communities. Their submissions (especially BIPOC and trans voices) will take priority.

Agents, please know I’m absolutely ravenous for queer adult #horror for @TorNightfire. Like, foaming at the mouth, clawing at the walls, wailing at the moon, etc. etc. #MSWL twitter.com/garnetmorgue/s…

Horror, queer and POC, will be top of my #mswl when I open in a couple weeks!

It's been brought to my attention in a sort of roundabout way that people aren't interested in queer books, esp QPoC books, that don't center trauma.

Can y'all do me a favor & RT this if you'd love to read some books about queer people with little to no trauma in them?

Hell yes! I would love a QPOC RomCom! Give me all the happy queer and POC stories please. #mswl

Before I close for queries tomorrow, I wanted to get out a #mswl of what I really want to see in my inbox.
- Authors of underrepresented communities (POC, LGBTQIA+, body, neuro, disabled)
- Fat girl stories where their weight is not the plot.
- MG and YA horror.

Can I get retellings of public domain books by POC authors? I'd love to see more of that in my box. ❤ #mswl

I'd love to see books in MG, YA, Adult with WITCHES.
✔POC voices
✔LGBTQIA+
✔Neuro diversity
✔disabilities
✔magical realism/realistic with fantastical elements
All a plus! #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
