A magical #MSWL tweet from @BookEndsJessica!
"I want something whimsical and myth-based, but grounded in the real world. Especially fabulism or magical realism. I recently took on a book that's like an adult CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, and I LOVE it! I want more."

In YA & MG (incl GNs):
* Diverse contemporary stories that are authentic instead of trendy
* Novels that are by & about people whose tales are yet untold
* Soulful, insightful, & well-crafted projects
* Stories that leave me cackling 😆 or sobbing 😭 long after I've read THE END
Literary Agent
In PBs:
* Thought-provoking or entertaining stories, but not ones whose aim is to teach a lesson
* Unique characters w/ a very specific & kid-centric point of view
* Marginalized voices that allow the reader to feel seen & heard
* Narratives that make me giggle 🤣 or tear up 🥹
Literary Agent
Illustrators:
* Skillful portfolio w/ interconnected illustrations that accurately represent the world we live in
* Stand-out characters & scenes that compel a reader to turn the page
* Artists w/ an easily-recognizable signature look
* Images that make me laugh 😂 or cry 😢

I’d love to see more speculative adult fiction in my inbox. Magical realism, grounded fantasy, cozy fantasy, rom coms. Think “a little bit of magic and a whole lot of heart” and that’s my cup of tea.✨ #MSWL

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!

bring back 70s recipes that read like murder mysteries pic.twitter.com/F024lSBrWwThis 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.
