Just wrote this in a bio for @SCBWI and thought I’d share #MSWL ✌️

#MSWL Within romcoms, I’m looking for:
-diverse leads
-characters with clear entrepreneurial goals
-STEM components and smart characters
-small cozy towns or international travel

“Graphic novels about diverse women/heroes with a mission.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Looking for more high concept, diverse, adult rom-coms! Must be funny. Must have a good hook. #MSWL

#MSWL I want to grow my list of comic creators. I’d love to see protagonists/characters who are:
-differently-abled
-have various body types
-come from marginalized communities
-struggle with mental illness
-defy gendered stereotypes + representation

I will say that if anyone wants to write and deliver the POC Alanna, I would be down for that. #MSWL #YoungYA

This is actually like the top of my #MSWL; I love retellings and would love to see more that include characters from marginalized backgrounds (and that holds true from PB through YA for me) #askDVPit

I'm dying for some #OwnVoices #Diversity #POC #LGBTQ picture books!!! Paste your query and MS and send to querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. #MSWL #kidlit #amquerying

So much #mswl! poc and lgbtq+ individuals just being people and living life!

Where are my joyful stories featuring #POC characters? Diversity pls! Black, Latinx, Asian, Indian, Native American, etc. This term gets read over a lot in my #MSWL’s. For those who don’t know, POC refers to the term "person of color” & describes any person NOT considered white.

#MSWL Looking for very commercial, highly aspirational YA with own-voices, diverse characters, especially contemporary YA, or contemporary fantasy YA. Please put in referral line of Query manager link: "#MSWL: some combo of the above language."

In GN, looking for Fantasy with lush worlds and diverse casts. I want this to be something where magic is infused into society or daily living. A place where we're reading more for the people and place. I'd love to see an eco-one focusing on resources, too #amagenting #querytip

Hey, writing peeps! My inbox would love more queries for #OwnVoices YA contemporary, all MG fiction, and all kinds of adult thrillers. Please paste query and 1st 5 pages in email and sent to: querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. #diversity #MSWL #WritingCommunity

No send theses to me!!!! #MSWL I will duke it out with Lauren.

Added bonus for quippy voices.

Send me your High Concept Rom Coms!!! I want:

--diverse voices!
--kissing!
--tropes!
--kissing!
--interesting settings that aren't my house!!!

SEND IT! #MSWL

“Narrative non-fiction: Within culture I’m looking for diverse takes on current events, politics, niche cultures and interesting voices.” @maureen_moretti psliterary.com/submissions/ #MSWL

“Very hungry to work on more LGBTQ+ YA novels and diverse, inclusive reads.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

It has been such a long week and all I want right now is some really soft, humorous contemporary YA with diverse characters that has the same beats as as narrative or visual novel games.

Bonus points if it's set in a coffee shop or a bookstore or a board game cafe. #MSWL

Hey writers!

During this downtime I’m reading a lot! Here’s my #MSWL!

✨ Genre blending literary fiction! Give me that weird stuff.

🌈 Diverse, inclusive YA! Give me books that reflect the world!

😳 Non-fiction that surprises and delights!

Let’s go! ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Dear #amquerying writers,

I'm working from home (as is everyone) and I really need some escapist queries in my inbox. Send me your upmarket women's fiction, contemporary romances, thrillers, and contemporary fantasies (+1 if it's queer, +1 if it's diverse and #ownvoices). #MSWL
