But, I love some angst and themes of identity, grief, family/multigenerational dynamics, displacement, self-love, etc.
NOOOOO BLACK TRAUMA, unless it has a powerful message on Joy being a tool for RESILIENCE!

Hey Writers! @FeministPress just opened for direct (aka unagented) submissions, so if you've got an amazing queer or trans story, an activist handbook, a gorgeous intersectional memoir, or another manuscript that expands the feminist conversation, send it our way! twitter.com/FeministPress/…I especially want to read speculative fiction by queer, trans, disabled, & neurodivergent writers, stories of found family, & leftist / feminist critiques of money & economic systems written in accessible language. @FeministPress

Women's/Commercial Fic #mswl: finding out the life she thought she knew or wanted or built is not all it seems (either bc mystery! or bc she grew up / stopped lying to herself / faces a crossroads). Foodie, feminist, family (found family counts!) all faves
Queries open 12/1!

"If you have a contemporary family drama set in the Midwest (especially in my home state of Wisconsin), please send it my way."

For YA and MG: I have a preference for speculative fiction here, although I’m also open to select contemporary works. Misc interests: the fae, talking animals, marching band, quests, genre-blending, found family, mythological retellings, and dragons.

MG and YA:
-mysteries, family dramas, tearjerkers w happy endings (especially autumn- and holiday-centric this time of year!)
-more BIPOC in the great outdoors
-really strong voices with messy feelings

2. Upmarket fiction: expansive family saga, modern-love, heart-wrenching character driven novels. Think Pachinko, Homegoing, Lucky Girl, The Hundred Wells of Salaga. #MSWL

I would love to find an expansive family saga, upmarket/literary, written in English, but set somewhere that is not the US and not the UK. #MSWL querymanager.com/query/MariaCar…
