This sounds awesome and I totally think there's a #nf #picturebook here! #mswl ?

"I'm on the hunt for a submission on misandry. I'm open to all categories and formats: essay collection, narrative nonfiction, short story collection with misandry as a common theme, memoir manifesto, etc."

Or maybe what you have is not like anything we've ever seen before - super gay, weird, and innovative with all the seemingly disparate threads somehow coming together & there's just no way I could've known to want something like your bonkers creation. Well! I might want it then.

GN: absurd, funny MG; fantasy/spec like This Was Our Pact; YA like The Prince and the Dressmaker, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up..., Genderqueer, Go with the Flow, The Magic Fish, beautiful coming-of-age like This One Summer that lingers w/you but make it all gay gay gay. 5/6

YA: coming of age romance like Last Night at the Telegraph Club or Ari & Dante w/gorgeous prose; coming of gender; atmospheric gothic (like The Handmaiden); historical/nf; mystery/thrillers like Firekeeper's Daughter or Patron Saints of Nothing; character-driven speculative. 4/6

MG: character-driven fantasy/speculative/spooky; gorgeous verse novels; beautifully written coming-of-gender/gay stories w/ young people just beginning to come into their identity or discovering first love and crushes. Think Chiron in Moonlight when he's still a kid/preteen. 3/6

PB: I'd love to see nonfiction & fiction that undermine heteronormativity/gender binaries & celebrate queer kids beginning to find words for who they are, or who don't yet have the words for "trans," "nonbinary" (how you can be AMAB, feel like a girl, & still like girls) 2/6

With #queerpit approaching, I thought I'd write up a super specific super gay #MSWL . I acquire for picture books, MG, YA, graphic novels, & nonfiction for Atheneum, and I'm looking for queer esp intersectional (BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled) and trans/NB/genderqueer voices. 1/6

have i said #mswl about this yet? 😍😍😍

Cozy fantasy featuring these cuties #mswl

"I'm looking for nonfiction books on occult topics, like BECOMING DANGEROUS edited by Katie West, WITCHES OF AMERICA by Alex Mar, and Taschen’s THE LIBRARY OF ESOTERICA series."

With so many pitch events fast approaching, I thought it was about time for an #MSWL refresh. I rep everything from picture books to adult fiction, but am looking to fill some particular gaps:

"I'm fascinated by explorations of fandom and fan culture like IDOL, BURNING – go deep, go dark."

"I want adult fiction with a fresh angle and/or twist on the social climber trope."

I look forward to reading your work if you think I'm a good fit!

I'm also open to illustrators. AND I'm looking for picture books, BUT ONLY author-illustrators.

(I'm sorry to PB, MG, & YA authors. I'm not capable of reading everything at this time, but hope to open more widely in the future. For now, I'm taking referrals only).

Upmarket! Something commercial w/gorgeous writing, featuring people who are not okay bc sometimes we're not okay. I want to feel the spectrum of emotions. Break my 💔, tell me the story out of order or backward. Familial or friendship stories or just a strong cast of characters.

Mystery! I still would love to see if anyone has written a Living Single/Golden Girls with a dead body.

Something outside of the Law & Order procedural (even though I'm a fan).

I'm open to speculative elements in this genre as well.

I am also really looking for twisty, wildly intense Thrillers (or thriller-ish). Especially those that examine our social construct like GET OUT.

ESPECIALLY those told from diverse voices.

Not sure if you know this about me, but I LOVE 💗 stories. I will ALWAYS be open to adult Romance in my inbox. In ALL subgenres—contemporary, romcom, fantasy, stories w/speculative elements.

But I’m also open to other age groups & genres. Here’s a little more of my #MSWL
