Do you have a well-researched character driven historical fiction that takes place so long ago it almost reads like SF? Transport me away from 2020 please! #MSWL

I’m really craving cookbooks that bring non-Eurocentric food into people’s home kitchens, or cookbooks or food narratives by BIPOC chefs that shine a light on food as the heart of a community or culture. #MSWL

Journalists, do you have a story that spans history and represents a point of view that’s been overlooked? I’m interested in conversations that can make a difference, and specifically interested in stories that touch on parenting, education, abolition, or communication. #MSWL

Since travel is nixed for the time being, I’m looking for narrative nonfiction that takes place in extreme or unique landscapes that are hard to get to – isolated communities, icy planes, or barren deserts – what is life like in such intense environments? #MSWL

Neurodiversity in fiction! I’m looking for a broader representation of the human experience in fiction, so bring me your contemporary adult and YA fiction by or featuring neurodiverse individuals with honesty, reality and heart. #MSWL

Science writers! Bring me your crazy true nonfiction about how the brain works, how AI is evolving, what it will really be like to live in space long term, or how a specific niche science is contributing to our current understanding of neurodiversity. #MSWL

#mswl !!! Autumn is HERE and my power is GROWING

#MSWL Also looking for Western Romances, both sweet and inspirational. blueridgeagency.com

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm officially open to queries! Please query me if you find that you would like to work with me based on this #mswl or even just my past taste in books. Check out my website for more information. taragilbert.com

Lastly, my #1 #mswl is a YA or adult queer VICIOUS. I love the dynamic between Eli and Victor, and it doesn't have to be SFF, I just want that best-friends-turned-"I want to kill you" enemies with lots of sexual tension. To add to that, I love Killing Eve and need that as well.

Invisible chronic conditions: I want to see characters w diabetes, epilepsy, other auto-immune diseases, where the condition is part of their identity, but not the whole of it. I want to see their joy more than their struggles, but I don't want it to be tokenized either. #mswl 7/

Historical Fantasy with a diverse bent and lots of magic. Like say a story about a bruja/o/x traveling transatlantically and owning all of Europe. #mswl 6/

A F/F sports romance. I'm shipping Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird, so if you have a story you'd comp to their story, please send it my way. Or you can comp it to Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris. Doesn’t have to be soccer either. #mswl 5/

In contemporary romance I’m especially hungry for a story where gender expectations are subverted, so something like a celebrity with a female bodyguard or a prince who is saved by a princess (ahem, Harry and Meghan anyone?). #mswl 4/

My full #mswl can be found at evascalzo.com/mswl, but here are a few highlights: Stories from marginalized voices that focus on the joy. I’m a fan of the HEA. Issues books have their place on the bookshelf, but that’s not my wheelhouse. 3/

Reminder: I represent Adult Romance and SFF and across all genres of Young Adult fiction. I do not represent literary fiction, poetry, screenplays, or nonfiction—not even narrative nonfiction or whatever autofiction is (something I've seen recently in queries). #mswl 2/

My #2 #mswl queer horror stories in MG, YA, and adult. Horror in all shapes and sizes. I'm usually not a slasher or body horror person, though. I like psychological and supernatural, usually. Maybe something where the environment is the antagonist. Also... twitter.com/Literary_Tara/…

GIVE ME ALL THE BLACK CHARACTERS! #MSWL

My #3 #mswl I cannot stress enough--I need YA and adult RomComs. Super funny, super cute, super smart, and full of emotion like RWRB. I really need a David & Patrick (from Schitt's Creek) romance. #romancelandia where you at?
