Lauren WE DESERVE BODILY AUTONOMY, FFS Spieller @laurenspieller
Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswlPlease this is also my #mswl Lauren just said it first :)

Literary Agent
And Iβm saying kids and fully meaning teens - 30s, kids is just my lexicon for folks. I donβt want marriage or children, love isnβt forever, and thereβs more to life than Accomplishing AND I WANT TO CHARACTERS WHO ALSO LIVE LIKE THAT!! #mswl

Literary Agent
Lots of typos hahah But look, I am not a Nice Girl and Iβm wild and Iβm black and viet and queer and never had to be shy about it and thatβs 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 just want stories with rebellious bitchy girls with big hearts and fun friend groups getting into fun shenanigans like spending all night running the St. Marks or getting revenge on an ex through elaborate pranks that increase so drastically it grows out of their control #mswl

Regina Black @reginablkwrites
Does anyone have any HBCU romance recs? Black romance (two Black MCs + HEA/HFN) only please. Retweets are appreciated!Now a HBCU romance is a college story Iβd beat the pavement for #mswl

Literary Agent
I LOVE horror, but please letβs get us out of the suburban house and into a new fucking location. Please, Iβm begging. #mswl

Literary Agent
Writers, I am begging, please give me an Adult horror novel reminiscent of #Archive81. The way the show understands that some of the greatest horror comes from our need to have answers from/about the people we love - and the way weβd burn our own flesh for resolution. #mswl

Literary Agent
I want my own YA or Adult Yellowjackets novel centering queer woman, WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE!! Help a girl out π 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 loved what THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS did with using an un-tapped historical period and setting, and adding speculative/magical elements and would love to see more of that! #mswl

Literary Agent
I want to see more black teen girls as tenderly and fiercely as Ashley Woodfolk illustrates in both WHEN YOU WERE EVERYTHING and THE BEAUTY THAT REMAINS. #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 Johnsonβs EVERYTHING, baby. #mswl

Literary Agent
Would probably die for an Adult Horror/Psychological Thriller in the vein of Showtimeβs YELLOWJACKETS which is literally all I can fucking think about.
I need more Misty and Taissa in my life. #MSWL

Literary Agent
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
Kiki @kianangu
Yβall 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. #mswlYou know what would be really cool? A love story with a non-linear timeline where the further you advance through the story, the more you start to question if itβs a romance or a thriller. #mswl

Literary Agent
If I sign a horror this year, I swear to God I will stop being a dirty, thirsty lesbian on this goddamn site. PLEASE. #mswl

Literary Agent
I just want to feel how I felt when I rewatched Stay Alive: the bliss of gaming and horror doling out Game Overs to friends one by one π₯Ί #mswl

Literary Agent
Natasha Bardon @NatashaBardon
Good post apocalyptic thrillers/YA thriller and horror for an age 15ish girl? Go please!Ummm, actually is anyone writing this right now BECAUSE I WANT IT #mswl

Literary Agent
Am I bugging or does Clerks set in Space sound flipping fantastic? Stoner aliens trying to save their smoke shop, idfk I want this Adult fantasy novel! #mswl
