I love Romance, but I also love all the ways we mess up and/or complicate our lives CHASING it. Also, chasing monogamy is boring me rn. I’d love to see a QUEER BIPOC coming-of-age/women’s fiction abt a fun-loving, bighearted dyke whose quest for love leads to selfish chaos. #mswl

Literary Agent
I’m just a dumb raging thot who wants an Girls Trip Adult novel for queer BIPOC whores who want to have a good time at the expense of their friendship (before reconciling, of course!) #mswl

Literary Agent
My daily life is centered around being fine as hell in all-black and dodging lesbian drama while throwing ass. Like please, give me characters who are about that life!!!! #mswl
That whole social climbing, marriage aspirations is not my lane, honey.

Happy Friday!Want to let #amquerying folks know that my current #mswl is exclusively (hyperbole!) sapphic, dark, comedic horror feat. BIPOC casts!
I’m a fan of Scream, Fear Street 1994, Urban Legend (2001), The Descent
I’m that goofy bitch from the block w/as big mouth!!!
Needed more words 😅:
Looking for this in YA and Adult!
If you don’t have horror, my next wish is contemporary women’s fiction featuring a main character or ensemble cast in the mid-20 - mid-30s. I’m not married and don’t want kids; I have hangovers and lesbian drama 🥳 #mswl

Literary Agent
Lots of typos hahah But look, I am not a Nice Girl and I’m wild and I’m black and viet and queer and never had to be shy about it and that’s what the hell I want to see in contemporary stories. I just want queer kids being messy without apology or hesitation #mswl

Literary Agent
I want my own YA or Adult Yellowjackets novel centering queer woman, WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE!! Help a girl out 😭 Girls and women are the most frightening creatures in the world and should be actively spearheading their own demises as well as those they love. I WANT TO REP IT #mswl

Literary Agent
I am craving queer black teen books filled with reckless joyrides and shenanigans. Literally just kids being kids in their shitty hometowns or neighborhoods trying to figure out how to take a skatepark back, idk.
Think Leah Johnson’s EVERYTHING, baby. #mswl

First #MSWL tweet of 2022:
Would immediately devour: YA horror like RULES FOR VANISHING and Adult Horror like NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH.
Would fangirl for: YA contemporary or thriller teen ensemble girl/queer squad reminiscent of JAWBREAKER
DYING for: fun, modern voices

Literary Agent
Hear me out: Drumline or step team YA contemporary but make it thriller/mystery?? Obvi, Black & queer!! #mswl

Literary Agent
Y’all know the drill! I want a character driven coming-of-age contemporary YA centered around a queer BIPOC girl that feels like Sour by Olivia Rodrigo. #mswl

Literary Agent
Going to do a weekly reminder that I want all kinds of queer BIPOC centered HORROR NOVELS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE SAVE ME FROM MY HORROR-LESS AGENT LIFE ☺️ Bonuses if it takes place in non-traditional setting (like houses, asylums, small towns, etc) #mswl

I would LOVE a queer adult WF or genre work that could be compared to Michaela Coel’s Chewing Gum #MSWL

Sailor D.J. Says @OhHeyDJ
I have a humble request. Can we get more queer content that isn’t so like, squeaky clean and perfect? I want more stuff where characters are undeniably queer, have faults and are messy.Thank youuuu. I’m a messy queer fuck up, and those are the people and stories I’m interested and want to champion. #mswl

Literary Agent
Or 40 YR Old Virgin but, you guessed it, Black, BIPOC, and queer!!!!! #mswl 21 Jump Street but??? Black, BIPOC, queer?!?!!!??!?!? !WHERE IS THAT?>!>":?<REQW?KRMSD>LGJDSR:U

Literary Agent
Where is the Adult Women's Fiction that transforms The Hangover or Bridesmaids into something very black or BIPOC and very queer? #mswl Fuck, give me A Devil Wears Prada that's but with anything but the corporate world. Black, BIPOC, queer only.

Literary Agent
Where is the modern day queer Black Superbad YA I've been wanting my whole life? #mswl

Kiki Says New Adult is Deader Than Dead @kianangu
For the rest of 2020, I’m mainly focused on acquiring more adult projects to my list. Particularly Horror, Domestic Suspense thrillers (not FBI/CIA/govt agency), and Women’s Fiction focused on QPOC in their 20s/30s (no divorcées).I want like...Broad City but more grit and queer and QPOC!!! #mswl

Literary Agent
Pride & Prejudice (2005) but queer as fuck yes??? #mswl
