funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE
illustrators and author-illustrators

Literary Agent
MG:
funny, heartfelt action-adventure featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices, ideally with some magic or fantastical elements

I opened to queries today! Here's what I'm looking for! #MSWLYA: rom coms with a fresh, very commercial hook featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices
dark, gothic, atmospheric horror
The MUMMY for teens

Literary Agent
Looking for stories of joy where identity isn't the focus; rich, atmospheric writing w/ culture & magic; rom coms; novels w/ incredible hooks that can be pitched in one sentence; highly engaging reads w/ an unforgettable voice or unforgettable plot (ideally both!) #mswl

Literary Agent
I'm prioritizing projects by and about BIPOC and underrepresented voices. Within that, particularly interested in projects with intersectionality, trans and disability rep, and ANYTHING by Native, First Nations and Indigenous authors. #mswl

Literary Agent
No joke! I'm open to queries again!

Wedding shaming blogs are a gift to us all. pic.twitter.com/r6P8PmePna#mswl this kind of shenanigans in a book

Literary Agent
Watching Murder Mountain and...gah, a YA set there? 👀 #mswl
One of my fav books is the Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly; cults, really dark contemps- places you can’t believe still exist

Literary Agent
Ok so #mswl where’s my LGBTQ+ Princess Switch/A Christmas Prince :D for adult or YA!!!!

Literary Agent
HUNGRY for YA, MG & adult nonfiction. #mswl pop culture, feminist issues, true crime, pop science, parenting, business from a WOMAN'S POV, relationship/dating, things no one talks about but we SHOULD, fresh & unique & a little weird & dark (DARK TOURIST, LORE, My Favorite Murder)

And as far as diversity goes, I am particularly seeking new authors of color and indigenous authors. #MSWLWe are still actively seeking contemporary Native American narratives for MG & YA, novel and graphic novel. I'd also love more books about black girls/by black women.
Me too!! #mswl
