And hot Asian anti-heroes/heroines and VILFs (TM me.) #mswl

Also, just so you know, I am always here for hot Asian heroes and heroines. Sincerely, me, a quarter-Guamanian/Japanese girlie. #mswl

My inbox needs more New Adult (NA) romance and speculative fiction (but no horror, please)! #mswl

It is rare that I have a #PB #MSWL but I am thinking about FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS and I would love a picture book that comps to that

Babbles from Scott Eagan: #MSWL Time And Other Things I Am Interested In scotteagan.blogspot.com/2024/06/mswl-time-and-other-things-i-am.html

#MSWL

We basically have the same #MSWL so if I'm a fit Rebecca probably is too!

So….high stakes ENCANTO for adults. Anyone have something like that? #MSWL

To everyone intrigued by this #MSWL call out or indeed more generally, if you think I might be a good fit for you (Agent profile: belllomaxmoreton.co.uk/agents/callen-martin) please do submit to me. I work in Children’s (7+), Teen, YA and New Adult / Crossover, in all genres – very excited to read!

As Summer has finally decided to arrive I am ready to grab an iced Diet Coke and my Kindle and dive into my submissions! I am on the search for #CB #MG and #YA ! My #mswl is very broad and wide - from the funny to the lyrical emotional and everything in between. Books I ❤️below!

The rest of my #mswl is evergreen and remains true. I love character and relationships, and I love people who write true to themselves.

Thank you to anyone who trusts me with your work. I hope to prove worthy.

8) Queer & disability norm worlds. Anything that turns on a perceived weakness that turns out to be a strength.

and finally

9) Books that channel the anger at our world, our politics, injustice into something powerful. Like Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson.

6) What I call speculative romance: e.g. romance in our world that also has a bit of magic. Think Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

7) Fantasy romance where the story is equal parts both, and the world and fantasy plot enhances the romance and vice versa.

4) Magic systems based in something really cool! Like...law, or wave theory, or color theory. I don't know, surprise me!

5) Historical romance with anachronistic voice/elements. Think A Knight's Tale, or Bridgerton. Or Alexis Hall.

2) Nerdy and hobbyist books! Can be any genre I rep (SFF Or romance). Give me your D&D, your video games, your theater, your woodworking, your metallurgy. Love it all.

3) Fantasy & SF that incorporates games -- rpgs or video games. Love the meta and dual narratives there.

And, on that note: I open to queries on Monday, July 1. I feel like I should update my #mswl accordingly, but be prepared, it's a mish mash:

1) Romances with BIPOC, queer and disabled leads. I'm dying for joyful books that touch on real world challenges without dwelling.

First I want to reaffirm what I'm about. I'm OBSESSED with my clients and their writing. I want more than anything for them & their books to succeed. That is my job.

I not only support but celebrate ALL authors, and especially BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, queer & trans authors

Well. I try not to use this to comment on everything happening in publishing because BOY is that list long. Suffice to say that the last few days have not been flattering.

But...I am opening to queries on Monday so I felt like a few tweets were in order.

#MSWL a short middle grade horror from a Canadian citizen or resident about this monstrosity. 8-20k words.

Will be following along all the #unhingedpit posts tomorrow. If I like your post, please query me (or query me anyway if you feel like your work is good fit for my #mswl ) ✨
