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

“Fun, joyful YA about teens from marginalized groups out there having hijinks, falling in love, getting spells wrong, etc.” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Ok, I just realized I need a Queer Eye for YA. #MSWL

Send me this novel #MSWL

In honor of reopening to queries, I thought I’d list a few things I’d love to see: a mystery series set on Hawaii, westerns (esp with some kind of twist), and speculative fiction set in the Pacific Northwest #MSWL

I'd love to see more contemporary mysteries with sympathetic protagonists, ordinary people with good humor who are pushed into dark situations. Think Rear Window or Tana French's The Witch Elm. #mswl
