#MSWL idk a novel inspired by this adorable fact

We're so excited to announce that this Friday we will be holding our first ever #pitchingevent, focusing on #romantasy, which will run for one week! 🐉💖 @alicecaprio94 will be sharing her #MSWL with you all, and if she likes your pitch we'll request a sample of your work.

#MSWL this sounds really cool. Would love to rep something like this. I think a villain that feels redeemable but just approaches that edge of redemption and then pulls back each time up until the end would be great.

I'm very interested in how setting up colonies on other planets in science fiction with the legacy of colonialism on Earth being so negative. Is humanity doomed to make the same mistakes or could we be better? #mswl

"A nonfiction submission on social mobility would make my day, particularly if examined through intersectional feminist lenses."

Anti-MSWL:

Altho I sometimes sell picture books, graphic novels, novels-in-verse, and adult projects, I am not actively 🔎 seeking those and reserve those sales for my current client list.

Not interested in submissions that engage generative AI.

#mswl

Ripped-from-the-headlines timely stuff, but not necessarily murder tho. 📰

Something that feels… moody. ⛈️

I want to feel shocked by a plot twist… 😱

I laugh loud and I cry easily, so have at it! 😂

#mswl

Unique hobbies but not too quirky/MPDG. ❄️

Joyful queer MG! 🎉

Fun voicey fantasy! 🎤

Fat BIPOC! 🥰

Stuff that is genre-bending/mash-ups, unexpected but effective! ⚔️

#mswl

I like romance, but I especially love when the romance plot is super layered and there are other things going on. 💖

Domestic/social thrillers with a strong voice. 📝

Anything that tackles capitalism in an unexpected way. 💰

#mswl

Stories where the protagonist builds their own community/family. 🫶🏼

Books that will radicalize teens/kids. 📢

Truly escapist fantasy with a world I become absolutely obsessed with! 🤯

Experimental (but not tooooo gimmicky) storytelling that just works! 👏🏼

#mswl

Me and Beefy girl are waiting to see the vet, so let’s do a #mswl while we wait!

Everything I list will apply to both MG and YA unless I specify… And there is no order to this chaos… #amquerying #writingcommunity

Coincidentally, these topics also represent my #mswl, ha!
