Putting out an #MSWL call for marginalized creators and all of the beautiful intersections therein 🧡

I'd love to see more projects in book club fiction, thrillers, mysteries, suspense, romance, SFF, and horror for middle-grade, YA, & adult readers! Genre blends too!

Authors, we're looking for Southern fiction and Southern women's fiction. Romantic elements should be behind closed doors. Send your query via website contact form. No DMs. Submission guidelines: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amagenting #amwriting

This ole fogey grew up reading Forgotten Realms novels, okay? Evermeet was like, one of my fav books of ALL TIME (it's okay if #TeamBaby doesn't know what that is 😋)

Seriously. All-BIPOC Forgotten Realms-like work, or ALL BIPOC LOTR kinda vibes? #MSWL

Oh, BIPOC vampires, too (though I might have said that before) #MSWL

In other news though... BIPOC Elves are on my #MSWL

"I'm hungry for horror that leans on eerie, atmospheric, and unsettling. MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia will forever be a favorite in this space. I don't mind gore, but I'm typically not drawn to it."

I am opening my submissions for the month of October! Please read the submissions page carefully, as I am only looking for manuscripts in a small number of genres. #mswl

My #MSWL for PB: true rhyme w/ perfect meter; 99% of the time prefer text-only

Tip 1: You know where you expect the beats, so have others read it out loud. Listen for where they place the emphasis.

Tip 2: Don’t force the rhyme. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, the secret's out. YA has crept into my heart through some of my clients so I am opening queries to the rest of y'all. :)

I'm looking for: YA horror (lite), YA paranormal (ghost stories), and YA thriller. Keep it weird and spooky, my friends. #mswl

Agent Update: If you are an author who has been waiting for me to re-open to queries, I will be reopening to queries on October 31! 🎃👻 Get those queries ready. My updated #mswl is here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/susa…

"I love interesting voices/POVs, dual timelines with a historical feel, rhythmic language, and anything that is both an engaging and accessible read, while being thought-provoking and layered at the same time."

I am only considering queries sent via QueryManager: querymanager.com/query/MariaCar… #MSWL

3. A genre-bending thriller (in English only). If you read Kill The Next One by Federico Axat you may understand what I mean by 'genre-bending'. The voice on the page is important. #MSWL
