Agents, I'd love to see more horror submissions from marginalized voices, especially ones based around their local/cultural folkfore and/or social issues. #mswl
Editor
My DMs are still open to marginalized authors who are interested in any Love Inspired imprint. But I'm especially in the mood for suspense! If you're from an underrepresented background and writing about MCs falling in love while fighting for their lives, please reach out. #mswl
Editor
Finally, I'm looking for trade length books in the Romantic Suspense, Historical Fiction, Amish, and Women's Fiction genres. These submissions should be agented, but if you're from a historically underrepresented group, my DMs are open for questions. #mswl 4/4

For Love Inspired, I'm acquiring contemporary Christian romance (bit.ly/3lVSWEp). Send me your emotional romances full of conflict! I'd especially like to see more from BIPOC authors, authors with disabilities and authors from other marginalized groups. #mswl 3/4
Editor
I'd love to see more submissions from authors from historically underrepresented groups for Love Inspired Suspense (bit.ly/3d03y0T). Thrust your hero and heroine into danger right away and keep the threat going. Bonus points for including strong women! #mswl 2/4

If you are an author from a background that's been historically underrepresented at Harlequin and throughout publishing, my DMs are always open for questions about the inspirational Christian lines at Harlequin. Please don't hesitate to reach out.Just boosting this again. My DMs are still open to authors from underrepresented backgrounds interested in the Love Inspired lines at Harlequin. We publish Christian fiction in category romance and other genres. Let me know if you have questions. #mswl 1/4

Sister, Sister was one of my favorite childhood shows, and I'd love to see an inspy romance submission in the same vein! Twins separated by adoption at birth bringing together their now-single adoptive parents. Younger twins would be better for Love Inspired, though. #MSWL
Editor
My DMs are open for AOC and other marginalized authors who have questions about the Christian publishing programs at Harlequin. I'm acquiring for Love Inspired, Love Inspired Suspense, and Love Inspired Trade. You can find my updated #mswl here: bit.ly/2ZFXhkd

I'd love to see LIS submissions in which the group attacking the hero/heroine has women at all levels. Usually when the villains are part of a group or taking out hits on them, the grunts are men, and women are only involved if they are behind it all and/or hiring hit men. #mswlPut women on the front lines too. Have them as the ones taking orders and trying to kill/kidnap the characters. They can also be dishonorably discharged ex-military now trying to supplement incomes with criminal activity. Or whatever else. It doesn't always have to be men. #mswl
