“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

In Romance: Hear me out, a second-chance romance inspired by Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well”…Like a story where the timing was all wrong, but they’re older now and maybe they needed to grow up in order to work? #mswl

In Romance: All the grumpy-sunshine tropes. Seriously ALL OF THEM. If your couple comps to Roy-Keeley or Roy-Ted or whatever the f/f version of that would be, please send it to me. #mswl

Hi friends! I have updated my #MSWL for #reasons possibly relating to a celebrity breakup but also because it’s been a while & it needed a refresh! You can find my full #mswl here: evascalzo.com/mswl
But I’ll thread a few highlights #amquerying #amwriting #WritingCommunity

It's been 20 years since the release of 1 of my all-favorite movies, THE PRINCESS DIARIES, + I'm reminded of it again today: to never judge a book by its cover or a person by her shell. Mia became Lisbeth, + I'm #MSWL for a novel that transcends both, + helps victims take cover.

Y'all, I super want a MG with a nonbinary MC and it's not a thing. They don't need to explain themselves. People use they and it's fine. Reading it as just natural will MAKE it just natural for kids #MSWL

"Thrillers like WHAT HAVE YOU DONE by Matthew Farrell." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

On our agency call today the comp title examples used was Gilmore Girls meets Dexter, and now I'm desperate for this. #mswl

Talk of diversifying STEM very interesting to me! Definitely a #MSWL
