Chatting with an editor this morning and talking about how badly I want a book that talks about sex for kids under 3rd grade (bc all the books I can find are for older readers) and my 5yo WANTS ANSWERS. #mswl

I'm open to queries again, folks! And I'm getting tons of great ones. (My #MSWL here: bit.ly/2v9tFiX) If you get a full request from me, I've got a list of things I'm looking for (which will be listed in the email you get) that is far more than simply a synopsis.

And note, that I am open and wanting more books from outside the US. Bring me psychological suspense (or any genre really) from other countries. #MSWL

And moms! Give me a good PTO mom psych suspense/thriller #MSWL okay, it doesn't have to exactly be the PTO, but the school mom, sports mom, that type of mom thing.

I would also like to see psychological suspense/thrillers with children, but not YA. I want adult stories of parents or something and children. #MSWL

I would like diversity and #ownvoices in my psychological suspense #MSWL

#MSWL Anything that reads like Douglas Coupland.

#MSWL An epic fantasy that draws on a lesser-known body of historical resarch.

#MSWL A big, generational family epic with a contemporary fantasy twist.

#MSWL I am not the right agent for vampire, werewolf, or fae stories. I am always looking for unique fantasy that brings in new, exciting elements less-commonly-seen, as well as stories that incorporate less-commonly-seen cultures into the worldbuilding!

#MSWL I am always seeking picture books featuring any elements of diversity! Including but not limited to racially diverse characters, LGBTQ+ themes, unique family arrangements, non-NT characters. #picturebook #kidlit

Oh, and Tokyo! (This is basically my holiday wishlist, as well as my #MSWL...!) #DareBlitz

Personal preference, but if you're going to write/pitch a #MeToo novel, I'd prefer ones that don't center the experiences of the harasser as the most central/essential part of the story. #antimswl #MSWL

“Commercial “Millennial” novels: i.e. STARTUP, THE HATING GAME, THE ASSISTANTS, THE KNOCKOFF, THE REGULARS. Starting careers, moving to new cities, friendships etc.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m open to submissions and I would LOVE to find some intelligent and insightful feminist speculative fiction #mswl

In YA, an ANDROMEDA STRAIN-esque survivor story.

#MSWL

A romantic suspense involving painted rocks.

#MSWL

#MSWL MG/YA mock trial that turns into a real mystery to solve.

Does anyone know of any books with a chaiwalla as the main character? It seems to me the job would allow for unprecedented access to the ins and outs of other people's lives, their conversations, their secrets. #MSWL if not.

If you have a super cool new twist on a retelling like Alexa Donne's BRIGHTLY BURNING (except for adults), I wanna see it! #MSWL
