Have a pile of submissions to get to but a #mswl that's been on my heart ever since my trans/NB partner told me they've never seen themself reflected in lit: more books (PB, MG, YA, GN) featuring genderqueer main characters pls. There's power in lit, and the fascists know it.

Been watching MURDER SHE WROTE, and you know what... #MSWL Millenial Murder She Wrote. Yeah, I said it.

When I was growing up there seemed to be a micro-genre of Kafka-esque picture books about kids waking up with mysterious, fantastical physical conditions. They were so fun! I'd love to see projects like these. #MSWL

I. Need. This. Book. #MSWL

"For romcoms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e., a romcom that’s also a family saga or a romcom com that’s also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite romcom."

"Seeking middle grade animal stories like PAX by Sara Pennypacker, SILVERWING by Kenneth Oppel, BUNNICULA by Deborah and James Howe, and SANTA PAWS by Nicholas Edwards."

My #MSWL is also in need of MG fiction with quirky extraterrestrials like you'd find in the ragtag group of Guardians of the Galaxy or on the Syfy series Resident Alien.

Okay - that's me closed for submissions for the rest of 2022! I am looking forward to catching up on submissions already received, and will let the #amquerying crowd know what my #mswl is when I reopen in early 2023 again.

…and more!

Now that I'm open to queries, I'm especially hoping to find a clever, sexy romance. would also love to see more cozy-ish paranormal (especially genre crossover).

Not saying I'm not looking for the other genres, of course, these are just holes in my list I'd like to fill

#mswl

A YA RomCom or MG story featuring Filipino leads would be lovely. #MSWL

I’ve decided to open my comment section up to any #amquerying writers who didn’t get to make the pitch window. Please pitch me beneath the original tweet if you think your story fits my #MSWL

Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses

Queries reopen 12/1!

Absolutely horrifying in all the good ways. I realize that there is already a novel out there based on this island, but I'd love to see something similar. #MSWL tinyurl.com/ywddwfza

Sorry, I should clarify:

There should be kissing while the dagger is at the throat and the good one definitely decides to join the evil one and be their queen/king/monarch or imperial partner or whatever.

And there should be corruption sex.

#MSWL

Writers, if you have something that will fit this description, please query me! #WritingCommunity #amquerying #MSWL

You know that scene in Rings of Power where ****** is in *********'s head and it's the evil one being all join me and be my light etc?

Gimme that same energy but genderbent and/or queer.

#mswl

Yes, thanks for mentioning, @AnikaDenise! Upper MG is absolutely at the top of my #mswl, so if any kidlit authors have non-genre MG manuscripts with protagonists who are 13 or 14 and in 8th grade, I’d love to consider them for Holiday House.
