I’m still looking for a BIPOC vampire horror with social commentary. Anything in the vein of The Wicked and The Willing. #MSWL

Happy #MSWL Day!
I'm a Senior Editor at Diversion Books acquiring adult genre fiction.
Agents, I'd love to find:
-a darkly funny thriller with a female protagonist
-psychological suspense
-historical fantasy set around the founding of the U.S., from a BIPOC perspective
-feminist horror and retellings
-super spicy romantasy
-any thriller, sci-fi/fantasy, horror by a Latine writer

Regardless of genre, I'm seeking inclusive, intersectional voices & gorgeous line-level writing with emotionally compelling narratives. Some of my #MSWL includes:
—Horror that dismantles the gender binary & societal norms
—Occult conspiracies
—Cozy mysteries that center BIPOC/queer characters
2/6

🔍 I also like my mystery with societal commentary with bipoc main characters
🔍If there's a side of humor with your mystery, I want to read it
🔍If there are siblings protecting each other from unspeakable things, please send

✨QUERY UPDATE ✨

I was planning to close completely in March, but after some reflection I will be opening to BIPOC authors only. I will open back up widely in April.

Thanks! #amquerying

-Adult Mystery. I sold several I had on submission lately and really want to fill out my list here. Priority to mystery outside the U.S., younger protagonists, and diversity, especially queer and BIPOC. #MSWL I'm drawn to lighter mystery over crime or police stories.

-YA sports romance or contemporary romance. I really like almost all sports so pretty open here. Priority for sweet, light, romance plots, also queer and BIPOC stories. #MSWL

-Romantasy with some spice (a few scenes), though I'm usually more comfortable with longing and angst than actual spice. Priority here for outside of Europe, queer, and BIPOC. #MSWL

-I have several cozy fantasy/science fiction on my list already so I'm looking for diverse cozy SFF this time. I'd love a queer cozy or BIPOC cozy fantasy or science fiction with a great romance. I usually prefer romance secondary to plot, not the whole plot. #MSWL

This a great time to remind everyone I very much want any and all BIPOC thrillers that can be comped to Dan Brown. Query me with it!! #MSWL

I listened to WE SOLVE MURDERS by @richardosman1 .bsky.social, narrated by Nicola Walker.

I honestly adored it. Loved it more than TMC. I'd love to rep something like it but by a queer/bipoc/disabled author.

🕸 We are open to queries 🕸

#MSWL #writingcommunity

Queer and BIPOC romances! Desperate for more representation in my inbox. I'd love:
#MSWL
-contemporary with a speculative twist.

-Romances that feel like Talia Hibbert, Abby Jimenez, Emily Henry. Think delightful banter, big feels

-Monster F**er romances...

Hi all! I'll be opening my queries for two weeks starting February 1! You can find more about what I'm interested in on the Metamorphsis Website and on my Query page. I look forward to reading your work. #query #WritingCommunity Querytracker.net/query/shanians/shaniansoler

Still figuring out my romance tastes, but if your manuscript has fake relationship, grumpy/sunshine, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, or late bloomer tropes, pls send it my way. I also love nerds! Neurodiverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ protags/love interests always welcome #MSWL

Tropes and other things I like to see in mysteries/thrillers: spunky girls, amateur detectives, blackmail, dark backstories, old houses, clever twists, libraries, ghosts and the supernatural, locked rooms, #BIPOC and #LGBTQ protagonists, folklore-inspired tales

For YA, I'm open to most topics, and I'm especially seeking these:
-post-Roe repercussions
-the dark side of momfluencing (from the kid's POV)
-contemporaries for the Emma Lord/Rachel Lynn Solomon audience from BIPOC voices
#MSWL

🎉 New Year, new #MSWL ! Here’s what I’m eager to see when I reopen in 2025:

👉 Bold, imaginative, PBs from author-illustrators
👉 Latinx, BIPOC, marginalized author-illustrators
👉 Laugh-out-loud funny PBs—smart, clever humor (no fart books or potty humor plz) (1/4)

Would really love to see something that blends fantasy and murder mystery #mswl

*From BIPOC authors only*

I’m closed to subs through Dec, but I really want to find a kid friendly cookbook from a Latinx or BIPOC author featuring recipes from their culture. Something that adults/kids can do together in the kitchen. If you have this or know someone who does, please msg me ❤️ #MSWL
