Historical Fantasy with a diverse bent and lots of magic. Like say a story about a bruja/o/x traveling transatlantically and owning all of Europe. #mswl 6/

I'm searching for more Middle Grade—Contemporary, historical, or magical realism stories that touch your heart, or your funny bone. Memorable characters, diverse perspectives. #kidlit #MG

Updated my #MSWL page! This fall (HOW IS IT ALREADY FALL!!) I'm especially looking for (agented) sharply funny fiction, heartfelt contemporary YA, and diverse thrillers & suspense.

Absolutely love creators writing stories that reflect the diversity of the world we live in, but I’d be remiss to say that I wasn’t highly interested in seeing stories like these written by diverse creators themselves. #MSWL

“Remember the trend of adult couple resort romcom movies? Share with me your diverse YA equivalents.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Speaking of rom-coms, please please please send me all your diverse, super cute rom-coms, and also small town romances! It’ll make my heart so happy. #MSWL (Yes, I ask for this all the time. I want more.)

Ummm, so I would seriously like to see ALL THE DIVERSE ROM-COMS. All of them. Send, send, send, thank you! ❤️ #mswl

I’m especially keen to see funny or lyrical picture book texts/dummies, author-illustrated young fiction, magical middle grade, literary and/or funny and/or high concept YA, clever non-fiction angles… and diverse voices in all of the above.

Also send me your diverse adult fiction set in the fashion industry with popping visual imagery and lots of smart character-driven drama. Flagships, offices, shops, etc. welcome! #MSWL (2/2)

Whimsical & specific #MSWL time. Send me your diverse MG adventures where the kids go wild in a fashion industry setting, think a big and beautiful bridal shop a la Say Yes to the Dress or a designer's home office or flagship. (1/2)

#MSWL I’m most eager to find twisty, intelligent suspense, upmarket book club fiction, women’s fic that explores friendship and multi-generational ties, light magical realism, and historical fiction from a new perspective or setting. I want more diverse/underrepresented voices!

Diverse authors will still be able to submit queries using the special link. This is why I am only *partially* closing. My #MSWL has been updated on my website: evascalzo.com/mswl 3/3

We'd really love to see more diverse, historical, and paranormal #romance in our inbox! #mswl

We're reviewing recent queries but will be open for romance submissions Aug. 3rd

Things I’d love to find in there include but are not limited to: love stories, contemporary YA, ghost/horror stories and brilliant non-fic proposals about the complex and diverse world we live in. #submissions #MSWL

#WritingCommunity, can someone please write a Golden Girls meets Murder She Wrote with a diverse cast of characters. I want to laugh, coupled with the tension of a who-done-it, murder mystery. #MSWL #goals

#Pridemonth may be ending, but Brandylane Publishers is committed to year-round pride in our diverse staff and diversity in literature. We’re stoked to have several #LGBTQbooks slated for release in 2021! Please send us your manuscripts to help us grow our #queerlit. #MSWL

Just finished @taekeller’s WHEN YOU TRAP A TIGER. Magic tigers! Stars in jars! Relatable sister relationships (raise your hand fellow peacemaking siblings 🙋🏼‍♀️)! And the writing 🤩 Writers, I’d love to see more enchanting stories like this in my inbox by diverse creators #MSWL

“For me, literary fiction lives and dies in its characters and writing, send me your complex, diverse characters grappling with what it means to be human something in the vein of Tom Rachman’s THE IMPERFECTIONISTS.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm especially on the lookout for high-concept stories w/ a standout voice, and strong coming of age themes that speak strongly to teen issues, without those issues defining the plot.

In all submissions, I'm prioritizing inclusive, diverse stories and marginalized voices. #MSWL

What am I missing in my inbox?
1. I want smushy sweet romance that makes me tear up when I read--like LOVE, VICTOR or LOVE, SIMON or RED WHITE and ROYAL BLUE.
2. I want relationships that are full of friendship and happiness, especially written with a cast of diverse characters.
