SEND ME QUEER HORROR PROJECTS. I've got a personal soft spot for bi protagonists (because...hi), but I'm looking for horror characters/stories from every part of the LGBTQ+ community. Give me characters grappling with sexuality/gender and ALSO monsters #mswl

IT'S HALLOWEEN MONTH IT'S HALLOWEEN MONTH so let me start a ✨spooky✨ #mswl thread for what I'm looking for @TorNightfire (adult horror) and @torteen (YA)
I'll update this thread periodically throughout the month.

I am wishing for some realistic and transportive literary fiction, grounded in the messy reality of human lives (past or present) - think THE GREAT BELIEVERS or A LITTLE LIFE #MSWL

"Dark, twisted, borderline disturbing… words I’d use to describe my interest in thrillers. Not really looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Having sold the MG graphic novel SORT OF SUPER by #Teamtriada's @ericgapstur with Brent in a six-figure pre-empt has definitely whet my whistle. I would love to see more author/illustrator MG and YA #graphicnovels in my Inbox. #MSWL

It’s my birthday month (38 oh no), and all I want are joyful neurodiversity stories in my inbox so my son will see more of himself on bookshelves in a few years. #MSWL

I admire writers who can write Mystery/Thriller/Crime Fiction & execute it.

I wish I was that talented & I’m so passionate to represent them.

From Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, Sue Grafton to Karen Slaughter...if your writing is similar. Please send them my way ❤️ #MSWL

If you are a BIPOC or LGBTQ+ author, I want to see your stories. Give me your amazing words and diverse characters.

2. Adult rom-com or contemporary romance set during the holidays—I love Christmas, but I’d love to see diverse holidays celebrated also.

1. YA and MG mystery. I’d especially love to see a gritty twist on The Hardy Boys or a group of friends in the vein of Scooby Doo.

I’m still waiting on my heist book. #mswl

High on my #MSWL at the moment is rom coms! I love ones that have an element of social media and are geared towards a millennial audience. Slide into my DMs [aka email me]

I enjoy new spins on old tropes but I ADORE fresh world building and premises that I would not have encountered in tradition sword and sorcery fantasy. My faves (NK Jemisin, Alaya Dawn Johnson for example) make me say "I didn't know you could do that.) #askDVpit #mswl

I feel like this is worth reiterating bc I REALLY want these! #mswl

Oh my goodness I didn't know this was happening! I am *so* in. #KidLitGN #GraphicNovels #mswl

For mystery, I'm craving a Golden Age-inspired mystery but with a dark/bleak plot - Agatha meets Tana #MSWL

Yessss this is also a thing that I enjoy. Send me your messy, feelingsy characters who can't resist blowing up their own lives so that I can love them. 💥🤗 #mswl

Books featuring Jewish protagonists that aren't about the Holocaust. #MSWL

A ship like Captain Swan #MSWL
