Fake dating is FINE but fake hating is BETTER. “You’re the bane of my existence” in public but “You’re the reason I exist” in private. Snarky banter as flirty foreplay. Secret kisses in dark corners. “We came out of the same room flushed and undone because we were ARGUING.”Yes please #MSWL
I am probably forgetting something, but until October 1st I am open to all of your amazing submissions. If you think we’d be a good fit, please feel free to query me!
Non-fiction from those with a strong platform, especially written by BIPOC creators. Can be a unique perspective regarding art, science, food, current issues, mental health, etc.
Joyful stories written by diverse authors in any genre and age category.
Angsty YA with messy characters—these are my favorite! I want to see teens make mistakes, learn from them, and move on.
Friendship stories—break up, make up, fall in love…any of the above, any age category. There DOES NOT need to be a romantic element.
I am DYING for a kitchen/restaurant story—aka The Bear, so if you have something unique with this setting…please send it my way.

The #WritingCommunity has shared with my so many amazing submissions that my inbox is overflowing—a wonderful thing—but in order to catch up on my reading, I am going to close to unrequested submissions on October 1st until the end of the year. 🧵That being said, I am still on the hunt for a few things so here is a quick #MSWL for those of you who are interested.

Babel - R.F. Kuang - I want to smack this book against my face. Anything with grounded speculative element, commentary on our society, writing that punches you right in the head
The Appeal - mixed media, super fun characters, a slow burn with a twist #MSWL

The Maid by Nita Prose - a light and fun mystery, unforgettable main character, great setting
True Biz by Sara Nović - incredible writing, multi-POV, Deaf characters, unputdownable
More Than You'll Ever Know by Katie Gutierrez - multi-POV/multi-timeline, family secrets #MSWL

I'm back with a real #MSWL since opening to queries. I posted a photo of things I can't shut up about last week and that's threaded, but also threaded are some recent and upcoming reads that I loved/am excited about that I wanna see in my inbox.

I wish I could accurately describe my kid's glee when he realized he might be able to use his burping skills to further the space program. "I want to be in an experiment!"Have a 9-13yo who likes humor, bodily functions, and/or science? Hand them this book. @mary_roach pic.twitter.com/74yZWw0SXj
