Dear Twitter-using writers and illustrators! Please note that I am closing to queries for the summer, starting on Monday, July 15th. If you send your query before then, I will read it! Though please note that I'll only respond if I'd like more material. #amagenting #mswl

Southern gothic has been claimed so much by white writers when some of my favorite southern gothic literature is by black authors so would love to see the submissions I get really reflect the diversity of the south and of vampires, haha. #mswl

My full #mswl and submission guidelines are on my website patricecaldwell.com/submission-gui… as well as the Morhaim literary site 🙌🏾 just please only query me if the book is ready, there’s no rush I’ll still be here ☺️

Basically Vicki and I will take your southern gothics and vampires, thank you very much #mswl

I’d also love a story about a kid training for the special Olympics that didn’t hinge on the disability. Or a camp for physically challenged that doesn’t revolve around their physical problems. #MSWL

What’s on my #MSWL? More of THIS. More books that make me feel how I do about publishing this book, out today in paperback. Close friends of mine not in publishing called me after reading it to say “Liesa I need to talk to you about this book.” Because we are stronger together.

#MSWL and I am definitely not joking

“I’d love a nonfiction project that tackles food or cooking from a non-status quo perspective. Prose over cookbook preferred!” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#mswl because I'm all about badass girls and cinnamon roll boys.

I'm still on the hunt for a mermaid novel! MG or YA. The catch is that I'm not looking for the falls-in-love-with-a-human trope, or something that features wars and kingdoms and sea politics. So I guess I want a... quiet mermaid novel? #MSWL ✨🐚🧜🏿‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🌊

#mswl someone find a way to make this work for me, please
