shan horan 🎷 🐛 @shanhorandraws

I really don’t want to do a slice of life comic about my disability and hearing aids, I want to make a comic where a girl gets new hearing aids that causes dimensional shifts and summons monsters by accident due to a magical frequency setting in them. LOL

Oh shit #mswl

Jhanteigh Kupihea @jhanteigh

Are there historical novels about the Black elite in the Gilded Age? The HBO show offers some tantalizing glimpses but I’d love a story where this is the focus

Oh hi #mswl

Chelsey Emmelhainz @LitAgentChelsey

Randomly remembering the @AMorbidPodcast Listener Tales ep where a girl who lost her parents thought she heard them calling to her one night from outside but when she went to open the door, her mother's voice, clear as day, says from behind her, "No baby, that's not us." 😱

Kiki @kianangu

First on my #mswl: I want an f/f YA contemporary centering a black girl or girl of color who isn't confused about anything other than How To Get The Girl. A 2015-now voice.

Kiki’s whole #mswl is ::chef’s kiss::

I’m watching The Spiderwick Chronicles and WOW I would love to rep a book like this. Holly Black is a genius. #mswl

🎄✨ Alix E. Harrow ✨🎄 @AlixEHarrow

everybody loves a hyper-competent protagonist, but what about the hyper-INcompetent?? give me the bumblers, the failures, the frauds and fuckups. the arthur dents and gideon the ninths. an absolute doorknob stumbling through a tangled plot they only dimly grasp?? relatable!!

Tired of his family always asking why he’s single, Peter brings his BFF Nick home for the holidays, making everyone wonder if their connection is more than platonic.

@laurenspieller What is something you are seeing a lot of as an agent that you wouldn’t mind seeing more of?

Im seeing a lot of diverse voices and I hope they keep on coming!

Also murder girls. #askagent #mswl

Diverse

Jordan Ifueko says REDEMPTOR available NOW @jifueko

For all the progress we've made in YA fantasy female representation, we can't seem to get over the misogynistic trend of protagonists having to disdain stereotypically feminine things in order to be "Protagonist Material."

Give me high fantasy Elle Woods, please.

GIVE ME HIGH FANTASY ELLE WOODS PLEASE #mswl

Writers, quick reminder that I no longer represent picture books! Please make sure you are looking at my manuscript wishlist (on the agency website!) before querying. #mswl

I’m opening to queries in 3 hours (technically).

I have a full wishlist (see pinned tweet), but here’s one thing I’d LOVE to see:

Upmarket Adult Horror. #mswl

One of the things I'm interested in doing A LOT MORE OF when I reopen to queries on 9/1/21 is ADULT fiction, specifically:

Adult Suspense
Adult RomCom
Adult SFF/H.

So if you're writing any of these, *please* query! #mswl

· 20 Jul 2021

I love grounded, upmarket genre fiction. The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, The Rook, The Warehouse, Hench, Mexican Gothic, Station Eleven. When I reopen to queries on Sept 1, please send me books like this.

My #A #MSWL page is live! Agents, send me your BIPOC myth-retellings--your dark, lyrical novels that dip into fantasy--your REBECCA-esque gothic fiction--your quirky, voicey nonfic. Make me hungry, teach me something, whisk me away: bit.ly/2Udh4Is📚 pic.twitter.com/g67GgPz5g2

Ummm ditto. I want these things. #mswl
