I’d like to see more body diversity in submissions across all genres and for all age groups. #MSWL

Always, always, always looking for diverse historical romance. For example, I think a romance set at Idlewild in the 1930s would be FANTASTIC. #MSWL

Stories with diverse families and/or found families (half and step-siblings, adoption/fostering, single parenting, LGTBQ+, disabled, homeless, etc.) #MSWL

I'm still building my MG list. Send me your MG projects!!! I'm also looking for YA contemporary, especially #OwnVoices and/or #diversity. And I really, really want more adult thrillers, horror, rom-coms, and contemporary romances. #MSWL 2/2 #writingcommunity #amquerying

I'm seeking: Adult: suspense/thrillers, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary romance, rom-com, & mysteries. YA: suspense/ thrillers, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, & contemporary. MG: Horror, sci-fi, fantasy, contemporary, adventure, mysteries, & humor. #diversity #MSWL 1/2

What would I like to see? Lots of great MG for starters. Particularly heartfelt, hooky stories by #ownvoices writers & diverse settings. Even better with illustrative component. And high-concept fantasy that feels unique & fresh & characterful. #mswl

I also rep picture books like these, so #MSWL for immigrant stories, Jewish stories, diversity in all its wonderful forms.

As always, I'm looking for stories by marginalized voices. I'd really want to see more body diversity in #MG and #YA. #MSWL

I'd love to see more body diversity in my subs. When you don't describe a character, the reader (and the cover designer, etc.) is often going to default to the most privileged body types, the ones we typically see celebrated in media. We don't really need more of that. #MSWLThis (agented) #MSWL 👇👇

I’d love more YA contemporaries. Give me angst, heartache, love, issues, crisis, and VOICE!!! Show me your story will stand out, and make me feel like a teen is showing me their story, not an adult telling me about it. Give me all the feels! #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunityI’m still looking for this👇🏻and #ownvoices and #diversity too!!! #MSWL #amquerying #writingcommunity

#PitMad legions: if I <3 you today, please send query w/tweet and the first 50 pages to spelletier at dystel dot com. Good luck out there! pic.twitter.com/uY8iKlujcjand because I'm not sure how much time I'll have today to browse the feed, right now I'm especially hungry for: upmarket WF, book club fiction, and truly fresh suspense fiction.
Diverse voices extra welcome.
Not for me: SF/F, paranormal, kids/YA

Since the wee hours, my mind has been wrapped around a question: What would a fantasy world inspired by the American Midwest look like? Divorced from "Wizard of Oz," what would a Fantasy Midwest be? What elements are so quintessentially Midwestern they MUST be included somehow?#MSWL midwestern fantasy + diverse voices
