Sunday #MSWL: I'm DYING to represent an abolitionist procedural or mystery. Justice in resistance to the police/prison state, and/or the pursuit of justice in a place without police/prisons.

Adult fiction or NNF, speculative elements welcome. DMs open!

If anyone has a hot take on this concept, I’m here for it. #MSWL

Um yes. Me too. #mswl

“I’d love to see a voicey spin doctor narrative in adult fiction. Think the energy of the Good Wife's Eli Gold.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm open to submissions as of today: querymanager.com/query/1550

I'm looking for adult novels (historical, mystery/thriller, fantasy, bookclub fiction) and narrative NF. Please check my wishlist for more details. #mswl manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alic…

This made me think, does anyone have a book that reads like a baker/chef sharing recipes but really it’s just recipes on how to murder people and get away with it? 🧐 #MSWL
Bonus points if it’s feminist AF

“The thing that makes me keep reading is VOICE.  I want access to your narrator’s inner life. I should feel what they are feeling. They should feel ‘bad’ things (e.g. anger, envy, greed, etc.), too.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Announcing an addition to my #MSWL. We have been seeing some reimagining of legendary folklore or Greek mythology. More of that please. But I'd also love to see a retelling of Hawaiian mythology and/or legends.

#MSWL aside from how incredible the org’s work is, The Nile Swim Club would make a great book title so pls send me your books about swimming and summer and race and family in the city so there can be a book called The Nile Swim Club

Still looking for the perfect (realistic-ish) MG animal novel to add to my list. 🐅 #MSWL

“Middle grade animal stories like Pax by Sara Pennypacker, Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel, Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe, and Santa Paws by Nicholas Edwards.” @agentvicente  #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

My kingdom* for an adult horror book that does on the page what Jordan Peele does on the screen #MSWL

*one bedroom apartment with a very needy cat

Head over to our Instagram page to see @SoCalledYALife #MSWL take over!

The Fantasy I am still looking for is:

- fantasy written by and starring BIPOC
- literary poetic prose (especially in MG—think Kelly Barnhill)
- folkloric quality/grounded in history (Alice Hoffman; Rena Rossner; my wonderful client Mary McMyne)

#mswl

Pssst, I have reopened to queries!

The long and short of it is: I'd like to see less Fantasy, and more of other genres (suspense, romance, historical). #mswl

(I am still open to Fantasy. See next tweet).

A suspenseful #MSWL from @jenissamichelle!

"In YA, a buildup in suspense (13 REASONS WHY) with a diverse cast of characters. Similar to EVEN IF WE BREAK by Marieke Nijkamp or ONE OF US IS LYING where different POV's can help drive the plot."

"History, Business, Politics, Current Affairs, Memoir.” @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

pls pls pls #mswl for a historical novel about this fascinating character!!!

I… #mswl
