Hey #WRITINGCOMMUNITY & #AMQUERYING authors, I am open for queries 7/11-7/15! I am looking for under-represented authors only at this time, so click the link if you fit the qualifications. No YA. PB, MG, and adult only as well. QueryManager.com/2174

Tomorrow I will post a sparkly new #MSWL and reopen for queries!

“I would love to see middle grade historical fiction that has a unique commercial hook and strong voice.” @adriamgoetz #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

“Non-Fiction by BIPOC food writers.”  @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Are you writing the latter, because this is the horror I eat up like catnip. #MSWL

“Joyful novels and powerful memoirs about the adoptee experience, written by adoptees. I can’t stress that enough.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Stunning. Empowering. Unique. Entrancing. A must read #mg

#mswl a book like this.

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

this !! is always on my #mswl

I'm still very much looking for more dystopian YA projects, especially given the current state of the world. Please send through the link below if you have this! 🙏 #MSWL

Looking for more LGBTQIA+ horror, including in the vein of Carpenter’s PRO-LIFE, so eff SCOTUS, the GOP, and TERFs. #mswl

“Fandom books and other illustrated, geeky/pop culture non-fiction titles are my bread and butter.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

(Addendum: For the rom-com requests above, I always want to see LGBTQ+ stories!)

And, finally, and in perpetuity until I find it, give me a funny, commercial middle-grade mystery series told in first person by a BIPOC lead! #MSWL

I’m also interested in a friendship YA or MG that comps to SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS, but with an entirely BIPOC cast. #MSWL

I’m curious to see some middle-grade rom-com! Show me your sweet tween love stories! #MSWL

I’d also like to find a YA rom-com *with speculative elements*—perhaps featuring the paranormal or some light magic. #MSWL

I would love to find a juicy YA drama or thriller with strong characterizations and a rich setting (BIG LITTLE LIES, but make it diverse and YA and set in a fresh, intriguing location). #MSWL

To begin with, I’m prioritizing BIPOC creators and, more broadly, writers from marginalized or underrepresented backgrounds, with an eye out for disabled writers. #MSWL

“A few of the [nonfiction] themes that I’m looking for include: Privacy; Big Tech vs. Government; Flexibility, Climate Change, and Infrastructure. Bonus points if you’re conveying an original idea through a counterintuitive angle.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
