#DreamProject #MSWL
I had an epiphany:
I would love a women’s fiction peace that explored the experience of a BIPOC woman as she moves to another country and builds a life in that country! Not necessarily Eat, Pray, Love - more the beginning of From Scratch.

#EditorInsight
Her agency is known for elevated, commercial work. So, she is interested in Sci-fi that leans into literary work. She mentioned titles like "Circe" and "The Power".
She does not want WW2/ War Historical Fiction! ✨
She does want stories about BIPOC's but NO TRAUMA P**N! #MSWL

Editor 1 (cont.): She would also love a "Lessons in Chemistry" with a BIPOC lead and pushing for change. (I don't think she meant the female lead had to be a chemist, but that she appreciated that the LIC lead was ambitious in a field dominiated by men.... #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day!! I am an agent for ladderbird.bsky.social!
Just to give some insight on me: I am looking for writers that value showing BIPOCs in our full-spectrum- our lows and our highs. I love writing that is designed to show the most natural state of a community and its culture. +
