Very specific #MSWL—a big fat #ownvoices historical fiction about Jacques Francis and the sinking of the Mary Rose

the mindy kim books made me desperate for some early reader/beginner reader books on my list this week, I'm ready, put 'em in my inbox. #mswl

“If you're a millennial journalist hoping to turn your expertise on a topic into a book, please get in touch!” @msmariavicente mariavicente.com/representation #MSWL

👋🏾 If anyone is working on an #ownvoices f/f adult contemporary romance — I’d love to see it #mswl

#MSWL

Have I mentioned my obsession with secret societies? Like, I super love weird secret society stories and occult groups. Think NINTH HOUSE or THE SECRET HISTORY, but I'd also love to see stories outside of a university setting. #MSWL

#MSWL I want ALLLLLLL the MG. Please, please, please! I’m so hungry to see more MG submissions in my inbox!!!

I would LOVE a middle grade non-fiction book that explores the idea of patient zero and looks at different endemics and how medical researchers traced them back to that particular disease's patient zero.

Send this proposal to me!! #mswl

Congratulations @JocelynRish!! This book is SO clever and hysterical and I can't wait for more people to read it!

(It's exactly the type of nonfiction picture books I want to see more of! #mswl)

#BellLetsTalk is a great way to generate awareness. My #MSWL includes diverse representation of mental health issues both in fiction and non-fiction. Send me those queries. Let's end the stigma in as many ways as possible! 🙂

I'm redoing my #MSWL so I'll have a more in-depth list soon, but what I really want right now is small town romance. (Remember Finn on Grey's Anatomy, how he took Meredith on a date to birth a horse? Yeah, like that, but in a small town.) I just need some HEA and adorable towns

I'm craving things in my submissions that are joyful. Hard is everywhere. I want some light. #MSWL

I updated my visual #MSWL Pinterest board to give a sense for the types of books I love and want to work on. Peruse it here if you'd like! ✨

Stories about adults who were parentified children! #mswl

I kind of love the Dracula on Netflix. He's the kind of evil I'm looking for when asking for vampire stories. He's kind of funny too. Also, love sister Agatha. 😂 #MSWL

#MSWL: I’m usually not open to picture books I don’t solicit, but I’d love to see something celebrating holidays we don’t have many picture books about. Ones that aren’t currently served in publishing written by #own authors. So if you’ve got it, send it my way.

So, if you are an author of quirky, adventurous, challenging and bold sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, please be in touch. And if you are an author who isn’t quite sure whether your work is for the YA or adult market, query me and we’ll figure it out.

I’m particularly eager to find voices from historically underrepresented perspectives in adult SF/F and horror, and as a queer man, I am especially drawn to LGBTQIA+ and feminist perspectives for those genres as well. #MSWL

So what am I looking for? I want explosive, colorful, funny, bizarre, exciting stories that examine technology, identity, and human relationships of all kinds. As in kidlit, I’m eager for vital, personal, and poignant stories in the #adult sf/f and horror genres. #MSWL
