Happy Friday!

Want to let #amquerying folks know that my current #mswl is exclusively (hyperbole!) sapphic, dark, comedic horror feat. BIPOC casts!

I’m a fan of Scream, Fear Street 1994, Urban Legend (2001), The Descent

I’m that goofy bitch from the block w/as big mouth!!!

So, for any agents listening 👀 I would love to see more of the following adult fiction submissions in my inbox! #mswl

💫rom-coms where the MCs meet in Chapter 1
💫locked-room thrillers and mysteries
💫gothic horror
💫retellings
💫queer & BIPOC characters
💫Asian representation

My #MSWL page is now live! Check this out if you'd like to learn more about what I'm looking for: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/taj-…

Over at #MSWL, I've got a little list of what I'm looking for up, as well as some musings about the importance of LGBTQIA2S+ books!

Um yes. Me too. #mswl

The Fantasy I am still looking for is:

- fantasy written by and starring BIPOC
- literary poetic prose (especially in MG—think Kelly Barnhill)
- folkloric quality/grounded in history (Alice Hoffman; Rena Rossner; my wonderful client Mary McMyne)

#mswl

“Non-Fiction by BIPOC food writers.”  @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

And, finally, and in perpetuity until I find it, give me a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series told in first person by a BIPOC lead! #MSWL

I’m also interested in a friendship YA or MG that comps to SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, but with an entirely BIPOC cast. #MSWL

To begin with, I’m prioritizing BIPOC creators and, more broadly, writers from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds, with an eye out for disabled writers. #MSWL

Here's a sweet #MSWL tweet from @AgentJessicaA!

"I want more joyful books—book club fiction, women’s fiction, romance, memoir—just books that are filled with positivity and hope. Uplifting, happy stories with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ characters are especially wanted."

Yes!! I’m opening to queries on July 1, and I’d love to receive manuscripts with disabled characters! Also #BIPOC & #LGBTQ+. Would especially love indigenous characters/stories. Check out my #MSWL while you wait! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/cath…

#mswl BIPOC mythology! I don't know half as much as I should and I want stories that show me your glorious culture, your timeless stories, and your characters in all their facets. Bonus if it's gay (although strikes me all mythology should be gay!!)

I'm just an agent with a #MSWL looking for more BIPOC SFF/H stories in my inbox.

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

Please this is also my #mswl Lauren just said it first :)

Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswl

Can't do #pitdark today but I *WANT* you to query me with:

--spooky MG
--dark academia in YA/Adult
--grounded, scary YA Fantasy
--thrillers/suspense in YA/Adult
--Adult Horror

I am especially keen to find these written by BIPOC! We need more of those voices on shelves! #mswl

I'll be open to general queries on June 1st 😁😁😁 You can read my #MSWL here on the ALA website: azantianlitagency.com/pages/team-ka.…

Because I can’t think of anything else right now, DM me if you are a BIPOC or disabled writer and have a YA or MG novel that in anyway demonstrates the importance of abortion rights as essential health care. #mswl
