Was trying to put together a list of trad pub from the last 10 years YA horror and SF alien books by Black authors and with Black MCs and hit a wall. There are too few of these titles, publishing industry! Give me more! My students will devour them.Give me all the Black YA Horror! You know we would actually be the ones to survive of horror movies mimicked real life. #MSWL

Have some real thoughts about historical fiction with BIPOC that grapples with colonialism and imperialism, versus stuff like Bridgerton which paints a fantasy of history that allows BIPOC to be the heroes and heroines we've long seen in regency period dramas...This 🧵. This is what I've been saying to every agent I've spoken to about the historical fiction I want to see in my inbox. #MSWL

sometimes the books just happen to feature queer and/or BIOOC characters existing in ways that don’t center trauma. There is value in that too. Y’all let white/cishet books just exist without speaking to some profound life lesson. Keep that same energy with us.THIS!
These are the books I want. #MSWL

But right now I would especially love to see:- anything set on an HBCU campus
- all of the magical realism
- mythological retellings
- romance/love stories (deep and profound and HARD or light and feel good)
- all the millennial joy and adulting hardships
Y'all I got to talk with @rebroddreads today and she is amazing. Definitely send her your stuff (so then she can sell it to me and we can all work together).
And I want everything in this list #MSWL

GIVE ME HISTORICAL FICTION THAT DOES NOT ERASE BLACK PEOPLE OR ANY POC.I will continue to say that Belle is one of my favorite movies (and yes I did read the nonfic book), and I want fiction like it.

I feel like I'm just going to constantly retweet this until I find what I'm looking for in historical fiction. Even open to a gothic horror novel with BIPOC set in the 18th and 19th centuries. #MSWL

Agents, some stories I loved that if you have diverse authors writing in a similar vein I would definitely like to see. #mswl
1. The Morganville Vampire series, Rachel Caine
2. Maids of Honor series, Jennifer McGowan
3. The Wicked + The Divine series
4. The Diviners, Libba Bray

Happy Spooky Season!! I always want spooky books (especially witchy stuff) but I'm really in the mood for vampires a la THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES. Definitely also time for a re-read. #MSWL
