What an amazing historical novel idea. #mswl. I love historical fiction based on real people. I know a few BIPOC authors who would rock this idea.

#mswl a thriller or mystery with series potential headed by a BIPOC woman investigator 💕 bonus if it's steamy!

I'd love to see in my queries:
- Atmospheric, woodsy, lush horror like THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING (YA, A)
- Domestic/psychological thrillers by BIPOC authors (A)
- Scavenger hunts (MG, YA, A)
- Eerie spec fic in isolated settings (CATHERINE HOUSE, THE WATER CURE)

Hi all, back again with a #MSWL update.
I'd LOVE to get my YA romance list to match my adult romance list. @camilliemill and @chloe_liese have spoiled me rotten with inclusive, swoony romances.
For YA romance, I want all of the BIPOC rep, disability rep, and LGBTQIA+ rep 😍🤗

I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

PLEASE read this thread. Every publishing professional I know *needs* to read this thread. 👇🏼 twitter.com/laviecestmoi/s…Also, if you are a BIPOC creator and you see yourself & your stories in this thread (heck, I know I do): I WANT THEM. I will always want them. And I will fight for them. #MSWL

Officially wrapped on 2020 submissions! Agents, here's my #mswl for this year.
Before I start: I will always be looking to foreground queer and BIPOC voices, and on the hunt for killer hooks I can't even finish pitching without someone mashing the preorder button.
Let's go!

Where is the Adult Women's Fiction that transforms The Hangover or Bridesmaids into something very black or BIPOC and very queer? #mswl Fuck, give me A Devil Wears Prada that's but with anything but the corporate world. Black, BIPOC, queer only.

Reminder! I am only open to agented fiction submissions, unless you are a BIPOC writer. Details in the submission section of my #MSWL. I am open to all adult nonfiction submissions—agented or not.

I’d love to see more POC/BIPOC (own voices) YA romance stories. Bonus points for intersectionality! #mswl

I am also still on the hunt for a The Mummy/Indiana Jones-esque story written by a BIPOC that tackles colonization. I love artifact finding stories, but we need to talk about the problems #MSWL

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl

For all the books I work with, I prefer to work with queer creators and BIPOC creators, and strongly encourage those creators to send me their work. Regardless of genre, age, subject, I like lighthearted, emotional, hopeful, adventurous reads. #mswl

i was an ecology major, but somehow i still reference the episode of the wild thornberrys where eliza ruins the galapagos ecosystem by giving a bird a needle more than anything i learned in college.
anyways, i acquire MG now & i would ❤️ a BIPOC eliza thornberry-esque mc! #mswl

Agents, under the BIPOC romance umbrella, I would love to see different pairings of interracial/interethnic love, same race relationships, body positivity, characters of every sexuality and gender, & teens with disabilities and disorders. Love between any two humans is beautiful.I want to read these books! #MSWL

SO EXCITED to announce that I'm now open to queries at @EmeraldCityLit & will represent #YA and #MG fiction projects alongside agents @MandyHubbard and @LindaEpstein. I'm so grateful to them both for being such incredible mentors. #amquerying submit here:QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite
I am ALWAYS seeking #OwnVoices stories by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors, non-western settings, and strong voices.
