Happy #InternationalWomensDay to ALL women
And here’s a reminder I’m always on the lookout for fiercely feminist titles in my inbox! #MSWL
“The patriarchy isn’t going to smash itself.”

#mswl my kingdom for contemporary MG horror in my inbox... especially with series potential. Excellent ensembles and friendship themes are a bonus!

"Non-fic like Jim Collins’ GOOD TO GREAT, Susan Cain's QUIET & Charles Duhigg's THE POWER OF HABIT.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Of course, my tastes are subject to change so bookmark/check out my #MSWL for more updates! ;) manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kuku… (8/8)

I am pro-short story collections that are thematic of region/place & immerses a reader into an underrepresented community in our literary ecosystem (see: Maxine Clair, Bryan Washington, Kali Fajardo-Anstine) (7/8)

& I love the complexities of multigenerational or familial relationships, especially when sharp prose is brought to the forefront of these narratives. (6/8)

It’s also fun to discover and explore lesser-known historical gems that blossom into fiction (yes, this is a Kaitlyn Greenidge stan account) (5/8)

Stories that create or contribute to larger conversations about society excite me, especially ones that incorporate the ramifications of systemic inequalities (like the school-to-prison pipeline) within a community–both in the US or on a global scale. (4/8)

Fiction that’s ambitious in its scope, something that’s willing to sit at the intersection of multiple themes in a way that feels accessible, yet complex. (3/8)

Stories that center nuanced + dynamic characters. I think of work that has a combination of humor + heart (like Insecure or Abbot Elementary) and uses stylistic elements (like voice, POV, structure) to create a compelling narrative (2/8)

✨On Mondays, we create a #MSWL!✨Agents, I’m excited to start building my own list for Team @FlatironBooks, with a focus on uplifting literary, contemporary, and/or historical fiction by Black/Afro-identifying writers in all of our glorious multitudes. I’m looking for… (1/8)

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Here are the beginning of the week stats.
