I would reaaaally love goofy, comedic adult fantasy in my inbox! I was just rewatching The Hobbit and I just love the quirky character dynamics within that epic adventure. Please! Sweep me away while making me laugh at dorks! #mswl
Literary Agent
I would really love an adult domestic suspense with a more pop/upbeat tone! Not everything HAS to be dark and gritty (even if it’s my natural home). Fuck, let’s get some Jawbreaker vibes up in here, writers! Not just a sardonic alcoholic with witty barbs - actual hilarity! #mswl
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
I’m looking for Adult projects. Here’s a little about me:
I am 28 year old queer Black/Viet/Laotian woman. Let that sink in.
I’m broke as fuck & don’t give a shit about propriety/snobby social mores.
Monogamy is meh and unhappy marriages are not my thing.
Keep in mind #mswl

angeline rodriguez @gelrdrgz
ok so what is the terminology for fantasy that is secondary world and has like magic and monsters and shit but also like, donuts, sneakers, other anachronistic stuff or sensibilities? i tried to describe this as being “like shrek” and am still being made fun of for it 🥴This is the shit I want #mswl 😍

Literary Agent
People who cheat get so demonized, which look it’s charged emotions and shitty betrayal, but cheaters are people too? And that’s the kind of character I want to follow in contemporary YA. Well, specifically the person who sleeps with their bff’s partner. #mswl

The “I’m just your problem” Bubbleline moment is my ultimate sapphic #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
