There is a gay goth coven that posts strutting videos to TikTok and it’s honestly some of the best stuff being published to the platform right now pic.twitter.com/EVlpNo5ovM#MSWL all the way when I reopen to queries! Give me a PoC LGBTQIA+ coven with this kind of energy!

Hey #WritingCommunity, if I missed your #iswgpit and you think your project might be a good fit, or if you're simply in the #amquerying trenches: here are some things on my #MSWL (a thread)- unique character-driven #YA contemporary with a voice that grabs you and won't let go
- #ownvoices and underrepresented narratives (I'm still looking for that #ya refugee/immigration story!)
- feminist, #LGBTQ , and sex-positive narratives
- shorter (~50k) contemporary #mg
New year, new me💁🏻♀️my #MSWL is finally live! Check it out if you'd like to know what I'm looking for. 📚 manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/erin…
In 2020, I want to acquire more books! (It is also my job.) So, agent friends, here's a #mswl thread that I'll add to all year long.
TL;DR: Send me PB, MG & YA projects that have a distinct POV and something to say. Bonus points for queerness & a net emotional outcome of joy.

I’m not seeing enough #lesbianromance in my query inbox! THIS MUST BE REMEDIED! #mswl

For anyone who doesn't already know me, let me state loud & clear once again: Please send me your #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ #ownvoices #middlegrade & #YoungAdult manuscripts! Look at what I'm asking for in my other #MSWL tweets to see if we'd be a good match. (Ah! So many hashtags!)
Linda Epstein @LindaEpstein · Jan 8
Something I want to see in my inbox: a YA romcom set in space; even better if the main character is BIPOC and extra points if it's LGBTQ+ too! Not too sciencey & not fantasy or characters w/superpowers (other than being smarty pants and/or physically fit). #MSWL
Amanda Isabel Ramirez @AmandaIsA_Ram · Jan 7
Just realized my most discernible #MSWL brand is: pop culture references, but make it gay.
Barry Goldblatt @barrygoldblatt · Jan 6
I have been searching for a brilliantly funny and romantic as all get out lesbian romcom for a decade now, and I’m really hoping this year I finally find it! The key here for me is it does need to be funny; the world needs more laughter. #MSWL

* Middle grade and YA fiction & graphic novels from perspectives that often feel left out of publishing, including LGBTQIA themes. Especially if they are:
* Funny! Heartfelt! Adventures! All of the above! Basically, I LOVE middle grade and YA fiction and graphic novels!

YA fantasy! I’m all about witchy blood magic—darker is better (does anyone see a trend here yet). Queer! Enemies to lovers! Magic with consequences! Tangled friend/family relationships! Unique plot lines with lots of tension/conflict! AND DON’T FORGET THE KISSING I NEED KISSING
