With SF, I'm still looking for my Black Mirror comp leaning towards creepy, literary speculative that plays more on technology than it does hard SF. For reference, my fav BM episodes: San Junipero, Entire History of You, Nosedive, Hang the DJ, and Black Museum. #mswl

I am also still looking for works of creative nonfiction that address issues not often talked about: from family dynamics to social justice, anything that explores those hard-to-define gray areas of our lives and that will really make me stop and think. #mswl

I am so hungry for nonfiction!! I'm still looking for a travel book that doesn't read like an anthropological study, but rather something that captures the lives and cultures of others in all its beauty. Something that gives us a glimpse without the Western lens. #mswl

When it comes to literary, I actively search for #ownvoices works, but especially those from the POC, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities. I'm not really looking for Americana stories right now. Nothing wrong with being the next John Steinbeck, it just wouldn't be for me. #mswl

Anyway, #mswl I guess.... joyful protags, or a joyful narrative voice. I love snark and sadness and anger, but I want this, too.

I can easily retweet this AP headline with #MSWL, but it's actually too unbelievable for fiction.

#MSWL I’d also love some adult science fiction where diverse voices tell a new and different story about how people relate to technology

#MSWL I’d love to see some diverse MG in my inbox—especially fun adventure stories not rooted in pain

“Within culture I’m looking for diverse takes on current events, politics, niche cultures and interesting voices.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I am opening to select Non-Fiction queries. Still putting together a #MSWL, but I am particularly interested in LGBTQ+ perspectives in parenting, or funny parenting titles, or funny cookbooks. I will share more later!

~whimsical middle grade~

#MSWL

this headline gave me the chills so now i'm all like #mswl

You know what I’m missing right now? A high fantasy (either YA or Adult) with a brilliant new world to get lost in and a fully developed, ingenious magic system. Anyone have one for me? #MSWL

#MSWL
