I am not dipping into #Pitmad today, but I am aggressively seeking Adult projects, particularly horror and domestic suspense thrillers (WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING, THE KILL CLUB; not CIA/FBI thrillers), & romance. I am hyper focused on seeking queer BIPOC writers & characters #mswl

Hey, all, I’ll be closing to queries on 12/1 through the end of the year, so send your wonderful words my way! I’m specifically looking for queer & BIPOC creators & stories in Adult romance, women’s fic, fantasy. I’d love a sweet, sexy, diverse holiday rom right now. ✨ #MSWL

I was just talking about this!! More BIPOC lesbian heist submissions!!! Pllllllleeeeeeeaaaaaassssseeee!! #mswl

Yes to all this but BIPOC too, pls!
#mswl

I'll be updating this thread over the next few days with #mswl thoughts and ideas as they occur to me, and I'll start with saying that if you have a western, especially a historical one featuring queer and/or BIPOC characters, please hit me up!

How about a #middlegrade or #YAlit that kind of comps to A Night at the Museum, only set in the Louvre or the Guggenheim or something? Even better if it's written by/about #BIPOC! #mswl #WritingCommunity #kidlit #scbwi

Putting it out into the universe that I’d love more historical romances centering on Black, Indigenous & POC written by BIPOC in my query inbox. Please & thank you 🙏 (bonus points if one of your character inspos is Dev Patel. Kidding... kind of.) #MSWL

Hello #MSWL world, I am seeking beautifully written mysteries and thrillers by BIPOC, please send any queries my way, thank you!!

“Unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I have not looked at my queries all week because sending a rejection this week would just be too mean. So, I don't know what's in there. I'm REALLY hoping for lots of queer stories & tons of submissions from #BIPOC & #Latinx authors. #yalit #romcom #middlegrade #MSWL 🤞🏽

Until I find them, I desperately want BIPOC witches and/or psychics!! Each culture has its own mythology that deserves to be showcased. Let’s dive deep!

Yes to this still. Also, give me your anti-colonialist and anti-imperialist angle in these #MSWL

Thank you Megan. Here is a great article for anyone just starting to think of getting an agent. Also a reminder I need to update my #MSWL — still seeking women & BIPOC authors in nonfiction. #WritingCommunity

I can’t stress enough that I‘m especially interested in receiving #PictureBooks #middlegrade & #YA ms by #BIPOC & #latinx authors when I open for queries on 11/1. Please flood my inbox! #mswl

When I open for queries on 11/1 I’m crossing my fingers there are craftily written #PictureBooks by #BIPOC authors that are celebrations of joy. I really want to smile and laugh. #mswl

When I open for queries on 11/1 I’d love to see some super sapphic YA romcoms in my inbox. Any of the romcom tropes (yes, with a HEA!) and make it gay and make me laugh. Even better if written by a #BIPOC author! #YAlit #WritingCommunity #amquerying #amwriting #agent #mswl

Vampires, YA or adult. Preferably queer & featuring (& by) BIPOC. That is all🧛‍♀️🧛🧛‍♂️ #MSWL

I want a YA or Adult Rom-Com that is so cute, funny, and steamy. If yours includes an interracial relationship, I'll be your best friend! And when it comes to love stories, I am especially open to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. #MSWL
