"I’m interested in love stories that may not fit the definition of romance, such as found family, platonic soulmates, and relationships without a happily ever after."

Niche #MSWL desire would be a blend of family-drama and Scooby-Doo antics/adventure with a hunt for cryptids. The search for chupacabra or moth-man while dealing with siblings relationships? Send my way!

"Memoirs focused on dysfunctional family dynamics that read like propulsive novels, such as EDUCATED, AFTERSHOCKS, and WILD GAME."

Hey #BlackWriters , this one’s all you: I’m on the hunt for a juicy family saga about a Black family in NYC, from the wild ’80s to right now. Got something epic? Hit me with your pitch—I’m all ears! #MSWL #literaryagency #literaryagency #blackvoices

"For rom coms, my taste veers towards genre-blends, i.e. a rom com that's also a family saga or a romcom com that's also a thriller. DIAL A FOR AUNTIES by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a great example and my all-time favorite rom com."

Give me all the found family! This is one of my favorite tropes.

"Book club fiction focused on family dynamics, friendship, and other communities."

Either way just to remind everyone that my #mswl (and the Labyrinth Road list overall) includes YA but really focuses on MG series that blend internal and external, epic stakes and feature Big Feelings & soapy relationships of friendships, family, and yes crushes!

"My absolute favorites: dysfunctional family stories; novels centered on relationships brimming with tricky class dynamics; and all things female rage."

Would love more lgbtq+, family stories, stories about finding your community and supporting it

wait ALSO send me your literary/upmarket/book club novels set in the obama era. i want to explore themes of sexuality, housing, finances, family, identity, friendships within the warm embrace of a safer political moment #amquerying #mswl

Fantasies with immersive, epic magic systems. Family dynasties. Incredibly well written villains who aren’t just evil for the sake of it. Something dark. Bloody. Ambitious. Not taking the high road. Fighting your oppressors. Stories that alter our belief in right and wrong

Hi, Cheyenne again! Adding to my really specific #MSWL projects:

- Sports romance that centers the love of the sport (and the found family element) just as much as the romance

- a horror book with dinos. please. (think Jurassic Park 3 with more politics.)

Running late on #MSWL Day but HMU if you have smart literary spec work like HOW HIGH WE GO JN THE DARK or STATION ELEVEN with a spiritual twist: whp.submittable.com
