Agreed 1000%. @MekishaTelfer and I were talking about this. #mswl forever

I am definitely looking for more psychological suspense/thrillers. I'd really love more #diversebooks #ownvoices in that genre #mswl

I’m dying for a #Latinx “Friends” & In The Heights crossover novel featuring a group of friends living in #TheBarrio. You know, just POC being POC in the 21st century. Even better if it’s #RomCom btwn 2 of the friends. #MSWL

More divers characters doing normal things is my whole thing #MSWL #PB

Diverse, geeky #YA love stories. In love with a rival at a video game tournament?" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

These are the picture books I’m looking for. Everyday stories with diverse main characters. I would have repped her book. #MSWL #mirrors&windows

I agree with everything in this piece on Jane the Virgin, particularly talking about the visuals. Honestly, if you have a book that will make me laugh, gasp, and cry like Jane the Virgin, with complete with diverse rep, send it my way. #MSWL newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

Also, authors with diverse historical romance in particular, wave your hands if I don't see you! #PitMad #MSWL

Part of why I am looking for more diverse characters is because I love seeing worlds and experiences that are not mine own. The commonalities of human experience will transcend for me.

BLACK PANTHER. My heart is full; my brain is on fire.

I want stories like it in my inbox. I want to help them reach readers. But, as one wise writer notes, “#MSWL = #BlackPanther!” is reductionist—however truly felt.

So, a list of specific things I LOVED & want more of in #SFF:

"A diverse, contemporary YA novel about strong guy friendships. Think Poe and Finn. <3" @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/

Now for some specifics! In romance, I am particularly interested in historical romances, and would love to see more diversity in my submissions. Let's see the Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian periods through different eyes.

I am particularly looking for diverse historical romance, so if you have it and I don't see you, feel free to send me a query! #mswl #amquerying #amwriting

#MSWL LGBTQ+/Diverse characters a plus in all submissions.

#MSWL Adult fantasy with wild new magical systems/belief structures/world structures. Lace the magic into the world in surprising, original ways. Vivid settings, towering stakes, dynamic voices. Confident, unique perspectives. LGBTQ+/Diverse characters a plus.

In honor of the #alayma this morning, here is a #MSWL of the awards I'd love to have a client receive someday. The Schneider Family Book Award and The Stonewall Book Award. Even better if it's in one book! So send me your LGBTQAI+ and disability rep.

#MSWL This! I'm sure a million people have asked for this, but put these ladies in space and give them an adventure that saves the galaxy. Every time this photo crosses my path, I pet it lovingly and say "one day."

"Actively and hungrily seeking diverse YA fantasy and sci-fi." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl/
