For #MSWL #MSWL Day 2026, I'm really, really looking for disabled authors of color! If you have an adult SFF book or any genre of MG or YA novels, please send it my way!

I would love something that feels like a high heat take on Bring It On or Make It or Break It #MSWL

🌈💡 I'm looking for adult fiction (literary to commercial, upmarket welcome) and nonfiction. I'm prioritizing LGBT+, Latino/Hispanic, Asian, and African writers. Submission info on my Instagram (linked in my profile) 💡🌈
#MSWL Day

#MSWL Day is here!

I'm seeking more narrative nonfiction for children and adults. Think THE MONA LISA VANISHES (Day) or Candace Fleming's books for kids.

More like THE ART THIEF (Finkel) or NO HUMAN INVOLVED (Neely) for adults. Also seeking nonfiction that really brings setting to life!

You can find my not-quite up to date profile here, and please note that MIRA only accepts agented submissions.

Specific wish list items:
Twin Peaks: Detective visits a small and creepy town full of secrets and strange characters, and finds love along the way. Honestly, this is my all-time favorite show and I think there is an amazing romance here
X-Files: pairing of skeptic and true believer

I love unapologetic and emotional love stories, preferably with a fresh take on an interesting hook or setting. I love stories with a speculative twist or a quirky setting. Marginalized groups, specifically Black, Indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent characters in all gender pairings, please!

I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

I'm a huge fan of stories with speculative elements that don't necessarily have to be explained, and I'm a sucker for books about yearning, where I am desperate for the characters to finally get their HEA (think This Is How You Lose the Time War or C.L. Polk's Even Though I Knew the End).

I have no idea why but I can't update my #MSWL for some reason, but I'm not actually looking for Psychological Thrillers! Here's what I am looking for:

For mystery I like cozy or quirky, think Knives Out. But also dark and with thriller elements. I prefer amateur sleuths and locked door, meaning a smaller closed off set of suspects. Smart stories where the mystery and characters are both fully developed. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, building my list in YA, queer romance, select nonfiction, and graphic novels for all ages. Query me here!

Re: nonfiction: Speculative nonfiction is a genre I'm newly interested in, and I can't get enough of it.
I like memoir, but I'm specifically looking for "well researched grad thesis pretending to be a memoir" (Better by Arianna Rebolini is my go-to example).

Happy #MSWL day to all who celebrate

I'm acquiring middle grade and young adult fiction for Peachtree and Peachtree Teen! Especially looking for horror, mystery/thrillers, grounded speculative fiction, contemporary, and romance. Authors and agents, check out my #mswl 📖

#MSWL I’d really love to find a dark romcom like Lights Out by Navessa Allen!

Please send me your upmarket, cozy adult mysteries! #MSWL

#MSWL I want Black culture and music nonfiction with swagger—hip-hop, R&B, jazz, scenes, cities, ambition, icons, criticism, memoir. Give me voice, authority, style, and pages with real heat. Guidelines in reply.

I'm also expressly looking for queer and trans narratives, stories by Palestinian authors, and weird/quirky books (a la Bunny by Mona Awad, Skydaddy by Kate Folk, My Death by Lisa Tuttle, etc) #mswl

Literally made a bluesky to participate in #mswl day - I’d love to find a super hooky, voicey, upmarket mystery!
