I better freaking be getting mermaids soon. Evil mermaids, THIRTEENTH YEAR mermaids. I WANT MERMAIDS #MSWL

Since #pitmad is around the corner, I want you all to know that I will be watching for any book with #polyromance in it. #mswl

An eternal #MSWL request:

YA novels about adoptees, written by adoptees.

Give me those genuine voices.

Send me your internship novels with drama, humour, and more! #MSWL #readbystephanie

I'm way behind in these, but here, finally, is another visual #mswl. A few books from my current TBR pile that give you an idea of what I'd love to see in my query inbox.

I’m in the mood for some 1920s/1950s upmarket fiction with vivid historical settings. #MSWL #readbystephanie

Send me your historical fiction about interesting trades (e.g. fashion, perfume, baking, get creative!). Think THE GOWN, but open to lighter. #MSWL #readbystephanie

And send any proposals that will inspire us all to act heroically and #resist. Would also love to know more about amazing civil rights leaders, and the many #diverse heroes in our world. #MSWL #nonfiction

Have an inspiring, fascinating and/or innovative nonfiction proposal? More details about what I'm seeking, plus my submission guidelines are here: jdlit.com/marie-lamba #MSWL #nonfiction

I'd also love to see proposals that tackle the very real problems young people face today - like school debt, stresses of modern parenting, and challenges of finding meaningful relationships #MSWL #nonfiction #personalfinance #studentloans #relationship #parenting

I'm a huge foodie - so I'd love a unique cookbook, foodie memoir, or exploration into the origins of a cuisine. "Hungry" for these! #MSWL #Cookbook #nonfiction #memoir

Another wishlist item - history that shows a unique human view of those who shaped it. Example - loved RUSH by Stephen Fried #MSWL #history #nonfiction

I'd also love to see biographies featuring little known sides to well-known folk. Especially literary or art folk #MSWL #biography #nonfiction

#MSWL - now actively seeking #nonfiction that is hopeful and inspiring. Send me your social justice titles, books that elevate and celebrate women and diverse people, and books that aim to improve our society and help our #environment

I have been telling all the editors about my Ren Faire and Spice Girls #MSWL and I am pleased to say, that if I get those books, I know the editors who want them. Soooo just saying if have them....send them to me.

Some big news! As a #literaryagent, I'm now also representing #nonfiction projects. All the details can be found here: marielamba.wordpress.com/2019/06/04/new… #MSWL #querytip #publishing #amwriting #amquerying
