Agents, I’m open to and would love to see MG and YA about surviving sexual assault, especially ones that offer hope to teen and kid survivors (not necessarily neat answers/linear healing/happy endings, but hope!) #MSWL

What I'm looking for: I'm especially interested in books that focus on themes of gender and sexuality, feminism, and climate change. But I love any good story well told.

#ThreeHills focuses on works set in NY State & esp those north of NYC. I'm interested in commercial fiction w/ literary crossover—literary fiction, sci-fi, mystery, & thriller. We do *not* publish romance, fantasy, YA, children’s lit, poetry, drama, or works in translation.

Excited to finally share this NEWS! I’m officially acquiring novels & short story collections for @cornellpress’s regional trade imprint, #ThreeHills! I want to read your New York–based #fiction, preferably focused on upstate & rural areas. Submission guidelines in thread #MSWL👇

#MSWL So, I do take mysteries/thrillers and detective stories, and a current want is something in the nature of Silver and Opal Country by Chris Hammer, where the place the novel is set is a character in its own right (in that case, the Australian outback).

I’m also feeling a deep need for all things humor! and a sweeping, true love story? would love to read that too #mswl

For REASONS, my current #MSWL is currently normal people taking down the oppressive people who lord over them.

One day I will edit a Desi LOTR x Princess Diaries. That may not make sense to anyone else but it's gonna happen!! #MSWL

Okay, which one of you is going to write me this novel?? #MSWL thedailybeast.com/the-making-of-…
