Kim Lionetti @bookendskim is sharing her #MSWL with our Instagram followers today. Query Kim if you’ve got a great match for her...

“I’d still love to see more women’s fiction and romance. Fun reads like Adriana… instagram.com/p/B_nSseqAS2W/…

"Crime fiction like Louise Penny, Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL: Speculative novels that feel like poetry, that call to mind specific poems, without being entirely in verse. Specific poets I like for these purposes: Tennyson, Donne, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Langston Hughes, Omar Khayyam, Wallace Stevens (There are more! Surprise me!)

I'm forever on the hunt for more funny picture books. Please send me your humor! I'm open to all types: loud, zany, quirky, strange, dry, subversive, potty, punny. Whatever you got, send it my way! #MSWL

Here I was thinking I’d just watch an episode or two of @neverhaveiever. Let me tell you, I had to force myself to go to bed after an easy seven episodes last night.

If your book comps to this show, send it to me ASAP.

At @bookendslit we've established an incredible list of cozy writers. Believe it or not, we are still looking for cozies. I'd love to see cozies that appeal to a younger & more diverse audience. #MSWL

#MSWL I would LOVE to work on a non-fiction project about paleontology!

Settings that feel like a character

Or “ethereal”

Moods that can be described as “eerie”

Clever takes on familiar plots/tropes or fresh retellings that completely subvert expectations.

Strong familial bonds: both biological and found

Fantasy that has big Studio Ghibli energy, wondrous and strange.

There are two types I’m drawn to:

-the soft character who is too pure for this world and must be protected at all costs

-the brittle character who has been through some shit and is desperately trying to hold it together

Been thinking over the types of stories I gravitate to, and noticing some common elements.

So, I guess it’s kind of a forever #MSWL? Just a thread of things I love (and love to work on).

My #MSWL includes escapist reads and feel-good stories these days. Romcoms, lighthearted characters, lower-angst conflict, light paranormal elements, humorous cozies. Stories with cookies and puppies and bighearted characters. Make me smile!

“Within culture I’m looking for diverse takes on current events, politics, niche cultures and interesting voices.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I have a big time #MSWL for a story like Never Have I Ever! There’s just so much to love about this show. It’s everything I’ve wanted and more in a coming of age comedy for teens. Also, I wish I had a Paxton Hall-Yoshida when I was in high school. 😍
