You can find my detailed, uptaded #MSWL here: thaisafonsoliterary.crd.co/#mswl

I am open to be surprised, but not by something on my anti-MSWL. That said, you can still send me books if you’re honestly criticizing some of these institutions or tropes, just shoot your shots wisely.

As I prepare to open widely to queries tomorrow, I thought I’d create a little 🧵 to organize information.

First, here’s the link to query me: QueryManager.com/ThaisAfonso

#WritingCommunity #amquerying

Tomorrow is the FIRST, so despite not being caught up yet, I'm opening to queries again for one week!
#MSWL for non-fiction, I'm looking for personal growth and wellness projects--women's health, brain health, and longevity.
Fiction = horror, fantasy, and psychological thrillers!

hyper-specific #mswl

any speculative work that *feels* like these

#mswl

Women’s rugby romance. Who’s got it? #mswl

Only open for queries for the next three days. I'm closing Friday, August 2nd. Get those queries in! Submit here: QueryManager.com/ErinNiumata #MSWL

Seriously...pommel this, please. #MSWL

Congrats to the happy couple! #MSWL

And as usual, I am going to be looking for YA.

A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

Next up, I am opening to New Adult for the first time. I am looking less for spicy sexy times, and more for that new adult story. So comps for me would be BEGIN AGAIN, YELLOWJACKETS, SADIE, SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS, THE MAGICIANS.

I tend not to get super specific on my PB MSWLs since I love to be surprised but what I am looking for is the "heart of gold" in the story. Your book can be weird, sweet, funny, lyrical, commercial, whatever, but I want heart.

First up, I am looking for picture books with heart. If your books comps with GRANDPA GRUMPS, NOT QUITE NARWHAL, SKULLS, or any of these, I want to see.
