Dear Twitter-using writers and illustrators! Please note that I am closing to queries for the summer, starting on Monday, July 15th. If you send your query before then, I will read it! Though please note that I'll only respond if I'd like more material. #amagenting #mswl

Southern gothic has been claimed so much by white writers when some of my favorite southern gothic literature is by black authors so would love to see the submissions I get really reflect the diversity of the south and of vampires, haha. #mswl

My full #mswl and submission guidelines are on my website patricecaldwell.com/submission-gui… as well as the Morhaim literary site 🙌🏾 just please only query me if the book is ready, there’s no rush I’ll still be here ☺️

Basically Vicki and I will take your southern gothics and vampires, thank you very much #mswl

I’d also love a story about a kid training for the special Olympics that didn’t hinge on the disability. Or a camp for physically challenged that doesn’t revolve around their physical problems. #MSWL

“I’d love a nonfiction project that tackles food or cooking from a non-status quo perspective. Prose over cookbook preferred!” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Hockey. Queerness. #mswl

I'm still on the hunt for a mermaid novel! MG or YA. The catch is that I'm not looking for the falls-in-love-with-a-human trope, or something that features wars and kingdoms and sea politics. So I guess I want a... quiet mermaid novel? #MSWL ✨🐚🧜🏿‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🌊

#mswl someone find a way to make this work for me, please

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Felt cute. Might raise the dead later. IDK.

Today when I opened the antique shop, I found books & boxes a'tumbled. This isn't the first time I've given the shop the side-eye but now may blame the new 19th-c doll. Or not. It could be literary raccoons.

#MSWL ghost stories!
