“In Women’s Fiction, I’m looking for upmarket fresh voices, stories about great friendships and adventures with a strong sense of place.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

#MSWL @greyhausagency is really looking for a lot of authors interested in @HarlequinBooks If you have a project specific for a line, please submit. DO take the time to review their guidelines first.

I really want a summer camp book #MSWL

I really do need a Anne and Gilbert level chemistry in a romcom #MSWL

#mswl 🙃

Or their songs. Good grief #MSWL: “The Moon Is Down,” “New Year’s Project,” “Just Until Sundown,” “Again I Go Unnoticed,” “The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most”!!!!!

(Maybe they’re YA - or maybe they’re for us 30-something punk kids who wore Mary Janes & too much eyeliner.)

2020 is when Persona 4 finally got released for PC, so 2020's the perfect time to remix that nostalgic, small-town Japan, crime-solving-teens feeling except w/o the homophobia and pointless sexism, right? #mswl

#MSWL for immigration and first gen books. Give me happiness. Give me joy. Give me the culture clash.

Spoke to an editor this morning and reminded myself how much I want a historical in MG, YA, or Adult about a gun-toting, foul mouthed, self-sufficient woman like Ruby from Cold Mountain. Any country or continent or sexuality or skin color. I’m tired of petticoats. #MSWL

#MSWL I’m especially interested in books by marginalized authors that don’t necessarily center the trauma of oppression.

3. I want to hear from marginalized authors who have a story to tell that isn't just considered an "issue book". Give me culture and family and love.
4. Give me characters I want to root for and in the end, there's a HEA.

What am I missing in my inbox?
1. I want smushy sweet romance that makes me tear up when I read--like LOVE, VICTOR or LOVE, SIMON or RED WHITE and ROYAL BLUE.
2. I want relationships that are full of friendship and happiness, especially written with a cast of diverse characters.

#MSWL I'm now open to adult contemporary fiction, both commercial and upmarket. I want witty beach reads, elements of suspense/thriller, family secrets, and books about rich people behaving badly

I'm forever chasing the high of reading Blood & Salt by @Kim_Liggett, and how badly I want another book that makes me feel THAT uneasy. #MSWL

“I’d really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don’t want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don’t want answers to.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“I’d love to see MG adventure novels. The next female Indiana Jones or a young Lara Croft.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'd tag this with MSWL but it just might be too weird...

... and it would be great if this was also super packed with LGBTQ+ characters too

... oh also if the whole story took place in the course of a night
