I would *squeal* if I came across an MC as rich, complex, voice-y, and fabulous as Lafayette! #mswl

if you have a YA manuscript that could be comped to Wynonna Earp, I would very much like to read it!! (yes I DID watch the mid-season finale last night and no I do NOT know how I'm going to survive until 2021 now.) #mswl

Here's something I haven't seen in my submissions: a frothy, compulsively readable YA that is enthusiastically & unapologetically socialist. Like, what would RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE or THE PRINCESS DIARIES look like if they glamorized equality/working class interests? HMU, #MSWL

wow, can i #mswl an illustration? i want a YA novel starring this character 😍

And last one for now, but never least, MAGIC -- bring me your untold myths and folklore fiction -- drag the fairies out of the woods and manifest the earth magic. Particularly looking for fantasy that incorporates diversity in culture, race, gender, and ability. #MSWL

Laughs. I need laughs. You need laughs. We all need laughs. Whether you’ve got quirky nonfiction criticism, dark humor, funny illustrated guides to getting by in life, or a novel that will have me laughing so hard I cry send it to me! #MSWL

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/
