As a Southern person, working at a Southern publisher, I'd love to find Southern stories鈥攊n everything from contemporary to genre fiction! Particularly BIPOC and/or queer southern stories! #MSWL

Some random/ very specific things:
1. A cheerleading book (Gay BRING IT ON)!
2. Gay BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM!
3. A story with a Type 1 Diabetic protagonist!
4. Stories like WEATHERING WITH YOU where climate/ weather is the antagonist!
