#amquerying #MSWL

Writers: I want all your quirky coming of age (adult) novels. If it’s slipstream, speculative, weird, dreamy, send it my way. I want witches. I would like to see anything that gets weird in similar ways to Daisy Johnson. If it feels like a punch to my face, great! #mswl

Are you a BIPOC woman writing a high-concept thriller set against an elite or luxurious background? We want to read it! #mswl #WritingCommunity

(3) inspired by Far From the Madding Crowd, I really want THE LOVE SQUARE to become a thing! When there are 4 not 3 involved in a tangle of romance and drama, with whatever mix of genders. There is so much mayhem to be had! Such higher stakes than the triangle of yore! #MSWL #YA

Attention #YA writers! A few things I’d love to see in my inbox:
1) Millennial nuns (I’ll always be waiting for this one)
2) 20th cent. historical set during one of the dictatorships in either Chile or Argentina
And one more that deserves its own tweet....#MSWL #wishlistwednesday

overall: I represent mostly-adult, mostly-fiction across the literary-commercial spectrum from weirdo short stories to "book club" novels to historical fiction to trade romance. I *rarely* read thrillers or hard SFF. You can query me right here: aevitascreative.com/contact/ #MSWL

prose-forward crossover speculative fiction that traffics in "what-if"s, wonder, & what the inimitable @clarebeams calls "the living strangeness of the world" #MSWL

epistolary novels, novels in emails, novels in text messages, novels in standardized tests, novels in recipes... and bonus points *always* for "but make it gay" #MSWL

so-called women's fiction that passes the Bechdel test with flying colors + romance between humans who aren't cis men 👭 #MSWL

gorgeously written literary fiction with a well earned, but mind-boggling twist (see: FATES & FURIES, TRUST EXERCISE, FINGERSMITH) 🤯 #MSWL

quirky, imaginative, highly specific stories set in grocery stores, hedge mazes, libraries and bookstores, neighborhood bakeries, historic homes & museums 🏰🌿🏦#MSWL

While I have you here, it seems like the perfect time for a little #MSWL! First & forever: queer joy! BIPOC joy! joy for people with chronic illnesses! joy for disabled people! joy for people whose bodies we don't see on TV! 🌈

Having a hankering for some "sci-fi" narrative nonfiction, e.g. send me your SpaceX and dark matter scientists, astrobiologists, extragalactic astronomers, and archeoastronomers! #mswl🧑‍🚀🚀🛰️

Just finished SEX AND VANITY and am desperate for submissions packing luxury/glamor, with a swank sense of place. Send me your books set on islands, in fancy hotels, chi-chi holiday hotspots. Bonus points for that + suspense a la the brilliant SAINT X. I need an escape... #mswl

“I’m a biography buff but it needs to have a fresh voice and a new angle, send me your funky takes on biography. I loved SO WE READ ON, a biography of THE GREAT GATSBY.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Forever on my #MSWL - childfree people who don’t change their mind - when my queries open again (I don’t know when that will be).

I love villain origin stories. 😈#MSWL
