Don't have a MS that fits one of my #mswl but wondering if we'd still be a great fit? Feel free to check out my submission interests and guidelines at maassagency.com/kat-kerr and query me!

With SF, I'm still looking for my Black Mirror comp leaning towards creepy, literary speculative that plays more on technology than it does hard SF. For reference, my fav BM episodes: San Junipero, Entire History of You, Nosedive, Hang the DJ, and Black Museum. #mswl

I am also still looking for works of creative nonfiction that address issues not often talked about: from family dynamics to social justice, anything that explores those hard-to-define gray areas of our lives and that will really make me stop and think. #mswl

I am so hungry for nonfiction!! I'm still looking for a travel book that doesn't read like an anthropological study, but rather something that captures the lives and cultures of others in all its beauty. Something that gives us a glimpse without the Western lens. #mswl

Happy Monday, everyone! Today is brought to you by the letter "M" so I figured, why not do some #MSWL! (See, what I did there? Yeah, no one ever said I was cool.)So, if you have a MS that matches something I'm looking for, please query me! I'd love to see it in my inbox.
When it comes to literary, I actively search for #ownvoices works, but especially those from the POC, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities. I'm not really looking for Americana stories right now. Nothing wrong with being the next John Steinbeck, it just wouldn't be for me. #mswl
Just finished watching #AlwaysBeMyMaybe on Netflix and I just need to say:
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
#mswl
Also with nonfiction, I am on the lookout for stories that raise awareness regarding social issues, particularly in the area of LGBTQIA+ rights and undoc. immigrants/dreamers. These are two issues very close to my heart and I will fight tooth and nail to advocate for them. #mswl
Within nonfiction, I would love a food-travel-culture book that doesn't read like an anthropological study, focusing the story through a humanitarian lens. #mswl
As a Korean-American, I'm on the hunt for anything that showcases my culture and heritage. I want to boost our stories across genres: contemporary, historical, SF/F...again, own-voices only. #mswl
I am hungry for an adult multicultural literary novel. I am looking for something that not only addresses the cultural and generational divide, but also our very real flaws as human beings. Must be own-voices. #mswl

Wow. I just ... can't pic.twitter.com/UOKqAUpXn8I read this review and could only think about how I must now add more gay to everything. Please send me all the gay using my query link right here 👇🏼.

And while on the topic of my nostalgia, I'd love a SF/F reminiscent of things like Cowboy Bebop, FMA:Brotherhood, or even Magic the Gathering. Let your geek flag fly! #MSWL

I used to love playing Skies of Arcadia and would love to see a MS featuring Air Pirates that will feed my gaming nostalgia. #MSWL

For non-fiction, my #MSWL is pretty simple: I'd love to see woke AF literary journalism pieces in my inbox. Something relevant with a strong, engaging voice.
Kat Kerr @thekatsmews · 26 Sep 2018
#MSWL As far as retellings go, I'd love to see more historicals, fantasies, urban fantasies, or paranormal based on Aztec myths and legends. Preferably #ownvoices please.
Kat Kerr @thekatsmews · 12 Sep 2018
#MSWL I’m always going to be in the mood for a literary/upmarket #ownvoices family saga. I want something deep, addresses the generational divide, and will make me cry my eyes out.
Kat Kerr @thekatsmews · 12 Sep 2018
#MSWL Still looking for my dark, twisty science fiction that could be an episode of Black Mirror.

So excited for #MSWL Day today! Here’s a thread of things that I would love to see in my inbox, outside of my general submission interests. For any #amwriting #amquerying authors out there who may think their manuscript matches one of these, please feel free to use my MSWL link.#MSWL I’d love to see a historical dark fantasy that revolves around the 70s Glam Rock scene...basically Velvet Goldmine meets Picture of Dorian Gray.
