Here’s what I’d love to find in my inbox:
A stellar suspense manuscript written by a POC.
The suspense shelf is full of white women, and while they are very talented, we definitely need to diversify this section of the bookstore.

#mswl — my goal for 2023 is to sign a suspense novel written by a BIPOC author. We need more of your books on shelves.
Literary Agent
My full #mswl can be found on the agency website but here’s what I’m especially looking for in 2023:
—Adult + YA RomCom that are FUNNY AF *or/and* Adult Romance w a magic/spec twist
—Suspense/Thrillers (we need more queer and POC rep in this category!)
—MG Fantasy! All kinds!

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/g67GgPz5g2Ummm ditto. I want these things. #mswl

Agents, under the BIPOC romance umbrella, I would love to see different pairings of interracial/interethnic love, same race relationships, body positivity, characters of every sexuality and gender, & teens with disabilities and disorders. Love between any two humans is beautiful.I want to read these books! #MSWL

Lauren Spieller wants you to VOTE @laurenspieller
I want a book about a character like Ambrose Spellman--kind, gifted, tortured, and definitely queer af. #mswl pic.twitter.com/osCH2n4ICuHe's also a person of color--I shouldn't leave that out, b/c it's important to understanding his character.
Not that the show seems to understand that. #mswl

I know Gary’s really being a jerk here and you should absolutely block him if you hadn’t already, but I absolutely do want to read a transgender teen POC MC enemies-to-lovers historical, can someone write it? pic.twitter.com/5DJa0DypKR#mswl 😏

I've been getting a lot of wonderful LGBTQ submissions, but most of them are about white people. I'd love to see more POC in my inbox. #MSWL
