Reminder, as we go into the weekend! My query policy changes Monday, #MSWL

for my birthday (yesterday, but it still counts!) i am giving myself the gift of doing something a little bit scary: tweeting out my first ever #MSWL 🥹manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/crys…

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

"I want unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers."

First and foremost, I'm building an inclusive list with a variety of voices and genres. I'm looking for BIPOC authors, queer authors, neurodivergent authors, disabled authors, and generally, authors from historically excluded backgrounds. #MSWL

I am as always actively seeking manuscripts from queer, trans, disabled, and neurodivergent writers, BIPOC, and other marginalized populations.

Make it queer and bipoc and #mswl 😅

#mswl if bipoc and/or genderbent

#MSWL I had to return Leila La Brujita Perfecta to the library and now have a vacant hole for PB stories that bring on all the whimsy of Flavia Z. Drago's work.

If you're a BIPOC author/illustrator with a dummy or working on a dummy that can fill this, I want to hear from you!

Been watching POKER FACE and MURDER SHE WROTE and really feeling #MSWL BIPOC amateur investigating. Because, damn, we could use better representation in this space! Loved Jane Pek's THE VERIFIERS, for example.

#mswl — my goal for 2023 is to sign a suspense novel written by a BIPOC author. We need more of your books on shelves.

YA/NA #MSWL: although sci-fi is still tough, I always say things in publishing are tough but not impossible.

I’d love a BIPOC grounded sci-fi mystery/thriller that can be comp’d to DEVS/Tales From The Loop/The OA.

ICYMI my first 2023 #MSWL 🥰

"Send me nonfiction by BIPOC food writers."

YA/NA #MSWL: I am looking for a horror from a BIPOC writer that can be comp’d to The Hacienda/Mexican Gothic/She Is a Haunting/Bad Witch Burning. And YA contemporary fantasies from BIPOC writers who are also interested in writing MG.

Early Reader #MSWL: If you’re a BIPOC author-illustrator with the start of a GN novel series like Narwhal and Jelly with the laugh out loud moments of Supertato PBs, I’d love to hear from you.

Hi #AmQuerying community! I'm thrilled to start seeking writers & illustrators to rep at @GalltZacker! :]

Though I'm not planning to fully open to queries this year, I am open to email queries for select projects from BIPOC writers/illustrators matching the descriptions below.🧵

Update: I will be open to queries TWICE this year:

✅️MARCH 1 to 31 and
✅️SEPTEMBER 1 to 30.

and I am happy to receive BIPOC queries all year round, starting March 1st.

Writing that's sharp and biting, or writing that's lyrically astounding. Is there a touch of magic? A heap? Yes, I want it.

And I want all of it to be BIPOC and/or queer.

1. girls and nb folx who skate! does anyone else miss BETTY on hbo? I was gutted when it was canceled and keep thinking I’d love a bipoc YA or upper MG BETTY, a book about the challenges of hanging at the skate park as not-a-cis-guy 🛹
