“Adult contemporary fiction set in the Midwest.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

On December 1, I'm opening to queries again. So, here is an #MSWL for #amquerying writers. <3 A note: I am only looking for nonfiction at the moment, BUT for the first time ever, I'm looking for YA nonfiction too! Weeeee!

“I love all the graphic novels. Send me the next LAURA DEAN, PUMPKINHEADS, or ALWAYS HUMAN.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Today we are sharing @Sarah_Nicolas #MSWL. Get those books ready!

Starting in January, Sarah and Natascha will reopen to queries! So spread the word for what Sarah wants.

“Stories featuring morally ambiguous protagonists! Give me your liars, your thieves. Your unlikeable peeps! I do NOT like reading about perpetually happy characters who spend their lives being good and moral (snooze).” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I have a weird biography #mswl for any European historians with who can write cinematically and with the 100-proof WTF energy of, say, “Amadeus.” If you think you might be that person, DM me! Especially if you like a good 19th century German.

LGBTQ+ and BIPOC writers #MSWL

Here's your second #MSWL! "Amanda would love to see submissions that feature coming-of-age stories like Stranger Things, stories that trend more psychological than bloody, and fresh takes on Gothic or haunted house stories." @wensday95

Long but worth the read!

“Middle Grade: an animal story (not talking animals).” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

In MG: Stories that are lyrical and on the more literary range of the spectrum. Especially ones that have some invisible chronic condition representation that I think so important and something I’d love to see for this age category. #mswl

In SFF: Anything that comps FOR THE WOLF. I’m slightly obsessed. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #mswl

I’m YA: I would love to see stories from BIPOC creators that explores culture through things like music or food or art. The way those things can connect us to culture and also cross cultural barriers is a relatable way to explore identity, especially in the YA space. #mswl

In YA: I’m listening to Red (Taylor’s version) on repeat—my “All Too Well” ask in the Romance section might have given me away—but a story inspired by “Everything Has Changed” would be right up my alley. Bonus points if it’s set during summer vacation. #mswl

In Romance: I also wouldn’t say no to a “tis the damn season” inspired holiday story. Doesn’t have to be Christmas either, can just be about homecoming. #mswl
