I ‘ M S O R R Y I just learned that Amelia Earhart and Eleanore Roosevelt were probably gay for each other and idk how someone can shoehorn this into a commercial YA novel but #MSWL please someone try

YA

Where are my joyful stories featuring #POC characters? Diversity pls! Black, Latinx, Asian, Indian, Native American, etc. This term gets read over a lot in my #MSWL’s. For those who don’t know, POC refers to the term "person of color” & describes any person NOT considered white.

So much #mswl! poc and lgbtq+ individuals just being people and living life!

I'd love rom com LGBT in GN form. Cute meets and fun debacles and rich angst/drama! #amagenting #querytip

· 30 Mar 2020

Also hungry for contemporary with LGBT, mental health, and disability rep. Not necessarily issue book plots for GN, but characters in their lives (I'd LOVE Fantasy with disability rep!) #amagenting #querytip

Updated my #MSWL! Be sure to take a look for 2020, when I open back up to queries! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kait…

Oo! And what about a YA (Or adult, really) where it's f/f and they're forced to work on a painting together to win scholarship money or startup money. But they hate each other and then end up having a paint fight 😍 enemies to lovers! #MSWL

· 24 Sep 2019

Definitely always on the lookout for contemporary. I want all the feels, the angst. In YA, I really want mental health focus on LGBTQ+. DEFF want LGBTQ+ middle grade crushes! GIMME! #MSWL

· 24 Sep 2019

Hell yes if those historicals are feminist, LGBTQ+, POC. Definitely interested in non-American and non-UK settings. #MSWL

POC

By the way. I’m still severely lacking in lgbtq+ MG. Please satisfy this need! #mswl

MG
LGBT

#mswl sibling story where one sibling comes out as trans and the other is understanding what that means. Would love to see sibling closeness like this #mg or #ya and genre

ZR/Zabé Ellor @ZREllor

#MSWL Historical YA (not open to adult yet!) about trans/nonbinary characters, by trans/nonbinary authors

Aaaand I will take this in YA and Adult! @ZREllor and I shall have duels ⚔️ #mswl

· 12 Jan 2019

ZR/Zabé Ellor @ZREllor

#MSWL YA historical fiction featuring trans characters

#MSWL seconded!

· 12 Sep 2018

I wanna touch on contemporary romance real quick. I love cute awkwardness. I want gut-wrenching love (think Just One Day by @gayleforman). I need LGBTQ+ that isn't just "coming out" or "issue-driven". If you give me Andy Anderson, I'll love you forever #MSWL

· 12 Sep 2018

Give me badass females and POC in your historical! Big plus if it's LGBTQ+ #MSWL just don't give me Shakespeare, Henry VIII, or Greek gods - a little worn out on WWII, as well, unless it has a totally new POV

· 12 Sep 2018

Here are the genres I'm open to: Fantasy (all kinds), Contemporary, Cont. Romance, select Romance, light Sci Fi, Magical Realism, Historical.

Upper MG, YA, and Adult only

I want LGBTQ+ and diverse characters, themes, and worlds. I want mental health and disability rep. #MSWL

bread fraud @tanklesbian

listen to me. listen. you can just not include homophobia in your fantasy worldbuilding. it can just not be a thing. you don't have to provide justification for it. you can just have some gay characters living their lives without being persecuted. a revolutionary concept

PLEASE DO THIS! So tired of the queerness in a manuscript being seen as “odd” #mswl

LGBT

· 29 Jun 2018

K, back to the query box. But ya, BEGGING YOU for my LGBTQ+ #HistoricalFiction (#HF) 😉 #MSWL

· 29 Jun 2018

I see SO MUCH WWI and WWII plots. GIVE ME LGBTQ+! What happened to nurses who smuggle jews from concentration camps and fall in love? What about soldiers on the front lines who turn lovers? I WANT THEM. This includes Trans characters #MSWL

· 30 May 2018

#mswl trans MG or YA character teaming with supportive parents to stand against their school inclusion policies
