“Unique, genre-blending romance novels. For example, I wish I had worked on The Plus One by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s breathtaking romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom-com in space, or with magic.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This! I’ve been seeking books like this! #MSWL 👇👇👇

I need a chapter book series about the adventures and hijinks these girls go on! PLEASE! #mswl

For the foreseeable future, perhaps worth noting that I am not the right agent match for books about/set during/featuring the pandemic. Give me escapist literature where Covid-19 never happened! #mswl

✨ I finally updated my #MSWL! ✨

all this Satan talk has reminded me that I'd LOVE a re-telling of Paradise Lost #MSWL

I recently reread ALMA AND HOW SHE GOT HER NAME and it’s truly one of my all time favorites. I’d love to see more projects in my inbox exploring the things—names, food, places—that connect us with the generations before us. PB (author-illustrator only), MG/YA novel, GN. #mswl

I’m loving all the nonfiction queries I’m getting! I’d also love to see more illustrators/graphic novelists who are interested in creating/working on NF projects for kids. #mswl

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m particularly interested in a story that explores:

🌀disco’s beginnings in Black and queer communities

🌀 the commercialization and appropriation of the genre as it gained popularity

🌀 the (racist and homophobic foundation of the) anti-disco movement

#MSWL

#MSWL horror novel based off
those creepy corporate anti-union Twitter bots

#mswl fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)

#mswl generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)

I'm dying (lols) to get a locked-room mystery #YA. I want high stakes, high energy, and I want to be guessing who did what and why and then be surprised that I was wrong. Send it if you've got it! #MSWL

"I’m on the hunt for fiction stories told from the point-of-view of two of more women filled with so-called unsavory emotions: greed, envy, jealousy, shame. And secrets—please give me secrets!" @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I immediately love any romance with this dynamic #mswl
