Before I close to submissions in November, I want to see more horror in my inbox. It can be as scary (or as tame) as you like, for YA, NA, or Adult! #mswl #WritingCommunity

I am full up on romance and romantasy unless your project REALLY stands out.

What I am NOT full up on is suspense, book club, and YA! #mswl #writincommunity

(Please feel free to cross post this on other social platforms)

If you're querying a YA Dystopian with a strong romance, I'd love to see it. #mswl

I really want to see more YA Fantasy in my inbox. Romantic Fantasy, grounded/contemporary fantasy, paranormal fantasy. Light magic, spooky magic, bizarre magic. Dark, frothy and fun, ALL OF IT. #mswl

Okay @KidlitKat was absolutely right about this book.

If you have written a YA or Adult book that comps to this, I want to read it!!! #mswl

Sorry this is #mswl!

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!

I would love to see more diversity in my inbox generally, but especially in both YA and Adult Suspense/Thrillers. #mswl

Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswl
