as always, my list focuses primarily on BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, and other historically excluded voices. eu adoraria representar mais autores brasileiros especialmente!

This piece just renewing my bipoc vampire #mswl desires

boosting this CNF #MSWL on the occasion of the manuscript reading period opening on Saturday!

This ole fogey grew up reading Forgotten Realms novels, okay? Evermeet was like, one of my fav books of ALL TIME (it's okay if #TeamBaby doesn't know what that is 😋)

Seriously. All-BIPOC Forgotten Realms-like work, or ALL BIPOC LOTR kinda vibes? #MSWL

Oh, BIPOC vampires, too (though I might have said that before) #MSWL

In other news though... BIPOC Elves are on my #MSWL

as always, i am prioritizing marginalized authors—disabled, BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, etc. my main goal is to lift and champion authors from underrepresented communities!

in terms of GENRES and NARRATIVES, I love:

- historical, particularly 19th and 20th century and particularly focused on international, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ stories
- alternate history
- dark academia
- horror and gothic
- character-led literary fiction

#MSWL

Non-fiction from those with a strong platform, especially written by BIPOC creators. Can be a unique perspective regarding art, science, food, current issues, mental health, etc.

I'm also very eager to support books about marginalized characters, by marginalized creators. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, and disability representation is more than welcome here!

PB:
funny picture books by queer, BIPOC, marginalized authors that have nothing to do with identity. Give me the next CREEPY UNDERWEAR or DON’T LET THE PIGEON DRIVE THE BUS or PENGUIN PROBLEMS or LLAMA DESTROYS THE UNIVERSE

illustrators and author-illustrators

MG:
funny, heartfelt action-adventure featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices, ideally with some magic or fantastical elements

YA: rom coms with a fresh, very commercial hook featuring queer, BIPOC, marginalized voices

dark, gothic, atmospheric horror

Regency and Victorian era romance by BIPOC authors, in addition to romance from other countries during this time period (approximately 1811-1901). For example, Rebel (Women who Dare) by Beverly Jenkins, and the forthcoming Ana Maria and The Fox by Liana De La Rosa. #MSWL
