#MSWL!!! We are seeking queer kid lit about whichever letter in LGBTQIA+ is meaningful to you. We want to help make the world a better place, so send your queer kid lit our way!

I also do adore tropes. Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, fake dating, slow burn... I’d love to see marginalized voice playing with these tropes in their books, especially YA fantasy (and romance of course)! #MSWL

Looking for a Gothic story, especially if it’s #ownvoices! With a wrenching romance. I need this in my inbox 👀 #MSWL

“Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction older than that.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Ok, obviously I am not alone in this, but please query me with novels with ANY of the vibes of @PromisingFilm #promisingyoungwoman #MSWL

I’m finally reading Mo Dao Zu Shi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation) and now i neeeed someone to pitch me an extremely indulgent slowburn fantasy romance #mswl

(Memoir continued) I love books with humor and interesting perspectives, and enjoy a big personality or narration to go with the contents of the memoir. I do not want conservative or conservative leaning memoirs. #mswl

For Queer Memoirs, I am particularly interested in memoirs from queer authors about their queerness and the intersections of their identity.... #mswl

(Romance continued) Sweep me off my feet please! I’ve been reading romance novels since I was a teenager, so make sure to respect that rules of HEA and give me some good tropey filled romance. #mswl

(Romance continued) I can’t bare to read dated ideals of partnership, relationships, femininity, and masculinity. I DO NOT want books where the characters participate in sexual acts without consent and/or while heavily intoxicated. Consent is key and a requirement.... #mswl

For Queer Adult Romance novels, I want books with queer protagonists that have distinct personalities and a fast pace. I love nearly any genre, but require that the story is queer, feminist, and body positive... #mswl

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl

For YA and MG genre, I love genre fiction with fast pacing and high stakes. I am generally not preferential to any specific genre as long as the rules of the genre are respected and understood.... #mswl

(YA/MG contemp continued) I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. #mswl

For YA & MG contemp., I love fiction where the main character has average, everyday challenges and we see how they overcome them. I love books that are lighthearted and emotionally driven.... #mswl

For illustrator portfolios, I like to see a decent sampling of your work, including anything from character design, to fan art, to sequentials. Please let me know whether you are exclusively an illustrator or author/illustrator. #mswl

I am open to queries for all ages, fiction and nonfiction, for graphic novels, but especially love when a book has strong themes of love and/or friendship, and is extra queer. #gn #mswl #queer #lgbtq

For graphic novels, I like a diverse cast of characters, placed in nearly any genre or location. I love art that challenges traditional styles and is easily recognizable as belonging to a particular artist. #gn #mswl

I prefer books with a fast pace, high stakes, and strong emotional development for the main character(s). I do not want to see books from authors writing identity based books not of their own identity. #mswl

For all the books I work with, I prefer to work with queer creators and BIPOC creators, and strongly encourage those creators to send me their work. Regardless of genre, age, subject, I like lighthearted, emotional, hopeful, adventurous reads. #mswl
