Me anytime a girl is nice to another girl in a book: Ohhh, they like each other!
Me any time a girl is mean to another girl in a book: Ohhh, they like each other!
CLEARLY, I need MORE f/f books in my life & in my QUERY INBOX. All the f/f in my #mswl. Femme, butch, trans, ALL!
a l i c e - can never finish readathons @monodramajpeg
As much as I'm dirty trash for the 'innocent girl gets with tall, dark, and kinda evil dude' trope, I would really kill for the opposite too. Where are the stories with the sweet, naive guys and their evil, deadly girlfriends?? Is that too much to ask??Please. Yes. #mswl PLEASE. Also F/F!

I'm really not into working with YA about theater kids/theater productions, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE always consider me for contemporary books about dancers/dance. #mswl

I don't know if I shout about this loud enough: I DO represent Adult SFF and I WANT IT very very badly. I'm looking for fantasy like THE POPPY WAR, SPINNING SILVER, and JADE CITY. Sci-fi like VIGILANCE and THE PREY OF GODS.
Omg so I’m listening to Natasha Ngan’s ep of @88cupsoftea. Hearing Yin and Natasha gush about shared Malay culture makes me think of my distant cousins/relatives my ba would show me who did Thai pageants.
I’d LOVE a Thai-written YA based around pageant life! #mswl
I want a HORROR novel in my queries ASAP!! YA! ADULT! Contemporary! SPECULATIVE! FANTASY! SCI-Fi!
ANY KIND OF HORROR I WANT IT! #mswl
An adult domestic suspense centered around a black hair salon/barbershop #mswl

I can’t take any credit for this but I want to spread it. Today my publisher used the term rom-sad (pretty sure she made it up) to describe a romantic tearjerker with a HEA. I love it. Give me your rom-coms and rom-sads. I want to feel all the feelings.Oh yes yes yes #mswl

I am so happy! @netflix put on #CamMovie and this is the fucking movie I NEEDED IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW! Also #1 on my Adult #MSWL. I don't want to spoil the movie, but THIS is how you refresh a fucking genre!

I am currently reading BIRD BOX (the SCARIEST book ever omfg) and obsessively rewatching The Haunting of Hill House and I would literally murder a grandma to get an Adult or YA horror that exploits family dynamics #mswl

On the flip side—where were the vampire clans w/ gossip grapevines populated by nosy aunties who’ve been around for centuries and hold the pettiest grudges?“Aiya, remember what Ah Guan said about your aunt at that party in 1825? Don’t even THINK about talking to her daughter!”
TALK ABOUT A #MSWL!!!
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 12 Sep 2018
Girls and women and enbys who love sex or love talking about it and just don’t give a fuck about propriety #mswl
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 12 Sep 2018
I really want a contemporary women’s fiction that takes it out of middle class white working woman territory! #mswl
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 12 Sep 2018
YA Bad love interests who are 100% in their feelings & you better watch out if you think you can talk shit about it #mswl
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 12 Sep 2018
You know in stories where the MC is being drawn to the dark/evil/criminal side, but they eventually decides they're going to help stop them? My #mswl is what if they didn't.

I am not a fan of good girls! Now, the good girl's whorish, volatile bff? THAT's the girl I'm looking for! #mswl
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 18 Jul 2018
I want a contemporary romance like Samira and Frankie’s relationship in #LoveIsland You get me that and I’ll sign you ASAP #mswl
Kiki Nguyen @kianangu · 20 Jun 2018
I’ll be coming through queries this week and I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED a contemporary please. No rich kids, no white suburbia. Forget the standard girl-meets-boy.
I want the mother/daughter dynamic of EMERGENCY CONTACT. A black/POC Kara Thomas. A raunchier-voiced rom-com #mswl
