My #MSWL: Speculative, including YA & Middle, Romance, Erotica, genre-bending and everything marginalized voices especially sought

Hi 👋🏻 can someone write me this nonfiction picture book? #MSWL 🌳❤️ collective-evolution.com/2018/05/10/sci…

Happy #EarthDay2020 ! This is a #MSWL reminder to please send me your nonfiction (and fiction?) books on the environment 💚🌍📗 #EarthDayEveryDay

In our first call-out, @JennySavill1 would like to see literary ghost stories and speculative fiction, perhaps with a touch of creeping horror. Please submit as per our guidelines: andrewnurnberg.com/submissions/ #MSWL #Fiction #WritingCommunity

👇👇👇

my #mswl pretty please (also petition to stop using women’s fiction because exclusionary to non-binary and trans folks ❤️)

Ooh, it's 4/20! #MSWL non-fiction AND fiction where marijuana plays a role (I particularly loved THE SCRATCH AND SNIFF BOOK OF WEED, for example)

#AskAPL Platformed health & wellness prescriptive NF, narratives about running, food, sustainability. Books that help us live better. Fresh romance & voicey romcoms, twisty mysteries with great sense of place. Surprise me!

Full disclosure: I want this so much I can even 'see' the title: WHEN IN DOUBT, ADD EMPATHY #MSWL

(...and that includes adding empathy in how we treat our many selves.)

“I’d love to read a nonfiction proposal about the power of empathy.”
@ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

A few specific #mswl bits I'm on the hunt for at the moment: character-driven sci-fi (THE LAST WATCH), gothic horror (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE), immersive mystery (Attica Locke's Highway 59 series), and journalistic nonfiction (Patrick Radden Keefe is a favorite).

“I am on the hunt for non-fiction in MG. Show me glimpses of history that haven’t been taught to younger students before, collections of pieces, anthologies." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

#mswl Very interested in receiving submissions from authors who write screenplays, and screenwriters who are also novelists in the genres: small-town romance, holiday romance, beach ready-y women's fiction.

“Picture Books: stories with literary sensibilities, nonfiction (not biographies) the Wheel of the Year, cultural traditions/folklore/history.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

"Non-fiction like Joseph McCormack's BRIEF: MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT BY SAYING LESS." @CurtisPSLA #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

In YA, i still love most genres and everything from light to dark. I love hope and depth and humor and stories that can change lives, whether from joy or empathy and validation. More specifically:

1. Super high concept contemporary and speculative contemporary

#mswl cont ⬇️

I don't typically tweet such specific #mswl ideas, but I'm looking for books on environmental impact, especially older nf about sustainable architecture and innovations in materials used for everyday stuff (food storage, toys, textiles, etc.)!

“I’m looking for all kinds of non-fiction, especially cookbooks, memoirs, essay collections, wellness, and pop-culture history books.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Horror / Speculative:
Grounded horror or speculative fiction that is creepy and unsettling, but rooted in the real world.
Think LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND, and THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
Other Favorites: Jennifer McMahon, Simone St. James and Alex North.
#MSWL 3/4

#MSWL alert! I’m always on the hunt for romance and women’s fiction in general but this illustrates what I’m especially hungry for right now. Thanks to @jmcgowanbks for the graphic! Query me at querymanager.com/KimLionetti

Hey Twitter. Some updates to my #MSWL:

My picture book list is quite full, so I am TEMPORARILY closing to PBs. I remain open to illustrators.

I'm very eager to find: ADULT mystery, crime, domestic suspense and horror/speculative fiction.
