🤩 This week, #MeetAPL starts with the newest addition to the APL team, @foldandgathers!

Selena is the star behind the scenes at @pandelectures. For her #MSWL, she is looking for dark, strange retellings that break genres. 👀 Selena will be open to queries in May!

I just finished THE BOYS' CLUB by Erica Katz and it's a great example of the kind of workplace fiction I'm looking for: women focused, looks at how work changes us, lots of OMG moments #MSWL

“Magical hedonistic bisexual” is a character trope I have never thought to name, but there isn’t a single MHB in film or fiction that I wouldn’t willingly die for. Also, #MSWL all of your MHB stories, please 🥺

Mosquito Eaters don't actually EAT mosquitoes? Who else knew about this??? This sounds like a great #pb to me. Misunderstood bugs #mswl!

#mswl A or YA. Music has such healing powers, brings people together. I’ve always wondered about musical neighbors sharing walls (wouldn’t it be neat if...?) & finally meeting (a meet cute, a healing remedy like these two) or never meeting @ all but finding peace w one another...

I am enjoying Instagram more than Twitter these days so a reminder you can get my bookish advice over there too: instagram.com/carlywatters/

Today I posted some non fiction #MSWL in my IG stories if you want to tune in!

“Diverse adult fiction set in the fashion industry with popping visual imagery and lots of smart character-driven drama. Flagships, offices, shops, etc. welcome!" @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

"A nonfiction submission on social mobility would make my day, particularly if examined through intersectional feminist lenses." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

• gothic and horror in MG, YA, and Adult that haunts you with its writing as much as the subject matter (not one for gratuitous gore)

• contemporary fantasy with fresh hooks, strong character dynamics, immersive worlds, & romance subplots.
