Oh. Oh my.

One of my authors sent me an adult rom-com with splashes of ✨FANTASY and MAGIC✨.

Querying writers, please send me stuff like this. I want these surprising genre-blends so bad. #MSWL.

When it comes to big specific #MSWL items:

🥰 Stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are neurodivergent.

💕 Joyful novels and powerful memoirs about the adoptee experience, written by adoptees.

✨ Genre blending romance and rom-coms. ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Also an annual reminder that I’m desperate for more books that celebrate neurodiversity in my query box.

If I’m not making books for kids like him, I’m failing at this job. #MSWL

It’s my birthday month (38 oh no), and all I want are joyful neurodiversity stories in my inbox so my son will see more of himself on bookshelves in a few years. #MSWL

Hope everyone had a lovely #PitMad! I didn't get to play along today, but I'm always open to queries at @PSLiterary!

Here's my #MSWL. Say hi sometime! ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Early morning #MSWL tweets, as the toddler has been up since 6.

YA that celebrates neurodiversity, from writers who are (can’t stress that enough) neurodivergent.

Fiction and memoir from (stressing again) adoptees, on the adoptee experience.

Say hi! ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Are there any neurodivergent parenting books by authors of color?

I keep looking and I’m not finding them.

If you’re writing one, query me. #MSWL

Had a rough few days, and decided to start @rosellewriter’s latest, Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop.

I swear her magical romance novels are like a soothing balm, and I’d love to work on books like this in my agent life. #MSWL

Also go buy this! bookshop.org/books/vanessa-…

Annual #MSWL reminder, I’m looking for:

Kid-lit stories that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are neurodivergent. MG + YA!

Novels and memoirs about the adoptee experience, written by adoptees.

Is that you? Query me! ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I'm forever chasing the high of reading Blood & Salt by @Kim_Liggett, and how badly I want another book that makes me feel THAT uneasy. #MSWL

Honestly, where is my adult vampire novel that's all about a Guillermo type character. #MSWL

Randomly thinking about how diverse, inclusive adult literary fiction, set in small, intimate settings, have just rocked my reading heart the last few years.

If you're writing anything that'll make me feel the way @ZillianZi and @blgtylr's books have, you should query me. #MSWL

Throwing this out there, I would LOVE to find some diverse, inclusive rom-coms in my agent life.

Especially anything that's genre-blending, like The Plus One by Sarah Archer (robot engineer builds a wedding date).

Some of my current clients are writing them. Gimme more. #MSWL

Me and @TheBowieCat are currently working on book FOUR. 🎉

Writing non-fiction in this space? Let’s talk. #MSWL

I started watching The Baker and the Beauty and just a quick note, I would die for an adult rom-com like this in my query box. #MSWL.

Also please, and I cannot stress this enough, send me your inclusive and diverse fantasy novels. Adult and YA!

I need more in my life. #mswl

Btw, if you're writing one of these, or any kind of book that celebrates neurodiversity, know that my query box is open. #MSWL

I wonder if this interview I'm doing will publish me saying "I'm forever chasing the high of having read The Night Circus by @erinmorgenstern and Number One Chinese Restaurant by @ZillianZi" because they really should.

Cause I am. #MSWL

Updated my agenting wishlist. Two specific highlights:

* Novels (includes kid-lit!) and memoirs about the adoptee experience, by adoptees.

* Adult and kid-lit books that celebrate neurodiversity, from authors who are neurodivergent.

I just want to read a romance novel that captures the feeling of watching Cher sing to Andy Garcia in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. #MSWL
