#mswl: the rise and fall (and rise) of unions in the US 👀

I’ve had a new sea shanty playlist going nonstop this week, so just throwing out a reminder that I am here for stories of seafaring adventures, and all the relationships / motivations / dynamics / experiences aboard. #mswl

I'm very close to closing to fiction queries, but in the meantime, please send your literary crime novels #MSWL

-- ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING -- Love me a ~quirky~ murder mystery that's funny and heartfelt. I'd love to see this across age groups.

-- TURNING RED -- Give me all the coming of age middle grade novels and graphic novels! The more embarrassing, funny, relatable, the better.

-- SELLING SUNSET -- I wonder if someone out there has written a thriller/horror about glamorous realtors meeting untimely ends or getting caught up with solving a murder🤔

-- THE GREAT NORTH -- I'd love to see a novel or book club adult fic about characters out in Alaska or similarly remote landscape. This one I'm genre agnostic on, I'll take humor, horror, thriller, romance, across all age groups (nothing younger than MG).

-- BRIDGERTON Season 2 -- If every romance I read had the scorching chemistry of Kanthony, I'd die happy. Send me all your quippy, enemies to lovers romance, though not in a historical/regency setting.

-- OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH -- I'd love a queer take on pirates in the adult upmarket/book club space, in the vein of OUTLAWED but out at sea. I'd also be interested in this for YA or MG graphic novel!

-- RANKING OF KINGS -- I'd love to see a middle grade novel (graphic or prose) that explores a kid born into royalty/monarchy that doesn't fit the bill for what a ruler should be or some other setting!

New addition to my #MSWL: recovered history on geniuses and their pranks. The "unsuspecting rival" was Raphael! 😂

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

PSA: I am officially open to queries. I’ll do a new #MSWL soon.

What Liz said!! Thank you in advance. #MSWL

Also still desperate for that middle-grade graphic novel about a Jewish summer camp! Just FYI! #mswl

Agents, I am out of the office until Tuesday and would really love to come back to some LGBTQIA+ submissions in my inbox. #mswl

I need people to know I have both opened back up to queries and also opened back up to my slut phase.

So please if you write college age contemporary stories or new adult fantasy that’s filled with smut, please send it to me, your neighborhood book bimbo and hoe
