"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Authors, I'm trialing QueryManager for the next couple of months. You can now submit here: QueryManager.com/LydiaSilver

“I want to see more books across genres about women in science/biology fields. Adult fiction, graphic novels, and nonfiction. Send me your titles.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Legit, I've been asking for an adult murder mystery romance JUST LIKE THIS for three years now #mswl

I’m especially looking for MG, YA, and adult thrillers. #MSWL

Since I'm open to queries again:
MUST HAVE: Adult romance only. NO YA. Fantasy or sci-fi sub-genre ONLY.
Prefer: High heat level
#MSWL list:
1. Vampires or witches (still looking for something different)
2. mystery & humor even if dark
3. Bridgerton w/PR element
4. Surprise me

New year, new #MSWL! Before submitting, I encourage you to check it out: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/chel…

“A nonfiction submission on social mobility would make my day, particularly if examined through intersectional feminist lenses.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#mswl literary fiction, for me, is all about meeting new people to get trapped inside for a while - i dearly love a close-perspective novel that can share shelf space with ottessa moshfegh and elif batuman. some i'm still thinking about from the past few years!

#mswl f/f hannibal. speculative killing eve. literature that capitalizes on our cultural rehabilitation of jennifer's body. like, i sincerely love the Claustrophobic Female Friendships niche in horror & thriller & dread-fuelled litfic but let's take it the extra gay mile.

yes of course i want all your GIDEON THE NINTH comps (my twin passions are dynamism of voice + gay girls with horrible little personalities) BUT the all-lyctor extra-dark academia supercut is the real #mswl

with all due respect to the totally understandable flush of kpop boy group romances, where is my #ownvoices kpop girl group thriller, give me the full frances cha here - the wealth of cultural knowledge, the sharp eye towards beauty, commodity, and performed intimacy #mswl

as we live through ever-more-horrific class differentiation irl i've been dying for some fricassee-the-rich horror about how claustrophobic and hideous most retreats of the wealthy are if you think about them for 2 seconds. house of usher on a private island or yacht when? #mswl

Disney has been supplying some of my favorites for ages, but I can't stop listening to the soundtrack so....

#MSWL for MG with #Encanto vibes! And also, obviously, all the Moana and Coco vibes too!

The news is out! Melanie and I will be testing QM! FYI—those who originally queried via e-mail will still be reviewed by us. And for my #MSWL, you can still visit: samanthafabien.com/mswl
