Babbles from Scott Eagan: #MSWL - Still Looking For Multicultural Contemporary scotteagan.blogspot.com/2024/07/mswl-still-looking-for-multicultural.html

I'm open for Smart Book Club Fiction, Upmarket Women’s Fiction for one week only. I’m looking for: propulsive storylines, rich characters, complex relationships, can have humor and romance (not straight RomComs). Submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #MSWL

"...subjects that have had sales gains include robots and dragons..."

You know what to do. #MSWL

And I lowkey would love to find a queer story collection a la Bryan Washington or Anthony Veasna So! #MSWL

Or just anything speculative generally. Books than can feel of our world but with a twist! #MSWL

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.
#MSWL

All things horror. Give me your slashers, body horror, horror as a vehicle for exploring trauma, psychological horror, horror in film and tv.

Think horror in the vein of Malice House, Manhunt, The Shining, or Maeve Fly. I want it all! #MSWL

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

Hi, Agents! Annual reminder that in addition to all things young readers, I'm also acquiring in the adult space! Some things that I'm on the hunt for: #MSWL 🧵

Book club is reading A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder right now and again I am SO hungry for a YA thriller/murder mystery pleaseeeee!!! #MSWL

#MSWL 🤣

I've got a lot of dark fiction submissions in my inbox right now—which is great, I love dark fiction—but I'd love to see some more happy, lighthearted stories too! #mswl

This, but lesbian, is exactly what I want in a thriller #MSWL

#MSWL gothic Indonesia fantasy

That's it for now, but honestly, if I sit down and think about it, I'm sure there are many more things I could specifically request, LOL. To be continued!

7. I'm a fan of tons of tropes, but honestly, I love a good rejected mate style story as long as there is either a) A FANTASTC grovel/begging for forgiveness or b) the heroine dumps their "fated" mate and finds someone SO MUCH BETTER, SO THERE.

6. Guys, I'm being super vulnerable here, but? I just can't quit contemporary omegaverse romance. I am determined to sell one to NY. Preferably with a terrible pun on the word Knot in the title.

5. AANHPI heroes and heroines. Please! My dad was born on Guam and I am of partial Chamorro and Japanese descent. I would love to rep Asian authors. And if the hero looks like Manny Jacinto, EVEN BETTER.

4. A pastry chef hero/heroine. But particularly a hero. I mean, COME ON.
