Because it's worth saying #mswl send me your LGBTQIA2+ stuff. Whatever is happening in the world rn, there are soooo many LGBTQ+ editors and agents trying to do THINGS & we'll be asking ourselves & each other (& you, creators) how to do things. It's not over til it's over & even then it's not over.

Hey loves #mswl - I love clowns? They're a hard sell apparently, but I love em in fiction & nonfiction. Send me your tricksters, your jokesters, your goofy goofs, clowns throughout history, panto stuff, clown communities of color, queer clowns, your beautiful doofs, send em.

Stories that feature a strong romantic element

Morally gray MCs are my speed in the thriller space

Stories that are feminist and intersectional

Strong romantic arcs, sharp banter, and a joyful tone even when exploring grief or growth

Any retelling “but make it gay” #mswl 6/6

As editorial director at Kar-Ben, my #MSWL is all Jewish kids books. I want stories that feel contemporary, surprising, unpredictable, plot-driven, clever, fun, absurd, and/or whimsical, where the kid has agency and goes after their goals. How to submit:

On the complete opposite end, I've been craving a cozy sci fi romance! Especially if it has food involved and even more say if it's queer! This could be adult or YA! #mswl

#MSWL Looking for Black LGBTQ+ memoir and narrative nonfiction with voice, edge, sex, beauty, risk, and truth. Identity, family, art, politics, desire, survival, reinvention—give me something alive, stylish, and unforgettable. Guidelines in reply.

For nonfiction, hoping to see topics on history, cinema, video games, anime, K‑pop, Latino/Hispanic music, LGBT+ culture, spirituality/witchcraft, methods of divination, meditation, world traditional/contemporary practices, deity worship, neuroscience, human–nature interaction, social media... #MSWL

#mswl in YA fiction, i'd love:

Historical fiction set outside the US/Western Europe.

Scholarship kids at old-money schools.

Bubblegum thrillers and queer horror.

2010s-style dystopias with marginalized teens at the forefront.

Animated Barbie movie vibes (bonus points for fairies or mermaids).

#mswl in adult fiction, i'd love to see:

Fiction centered around spaces and communities.

Late-bloomers (particularly autists) experiencing their first love.

Hooky romcoms with unique premises and queer and/or BIPOC protagonists.

‘Weird girl’ lit, but from voices less represented in this genre.

#MSWL I gravitate towards commercial writing and writing with an upmarket bend. I’m specifically prioritizing BIPOC authors and stories, as well as LGBTQ authors and stories.

Send me all your messy relationships, intense yearning, eat the rich, good for her stories!

#MSWL A few specific things I'd love to see: lady knights! Time loops! (I loved THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA by Tasha Suri) Historical detectives, like Sherlock Holmes or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, but with queer girls. Painterly graphic novels that still have a punchy hook.

#MSWL I am primarily eager for queer stories! Please please send me your queer books! If there is sapphic yearning, particularly in any of the genres I'm most interested in, why is it not in my inbox already?? There also remains a lack of trans girl stories in kidlit, I'd love to see some!

🌈💡 I'm looking for adult fiction (literary to commercial, upmarket welcome) and nonfiction. I'm prioritizing LGBT+, Latino/Hispanic, Asian, and African writers. Submission info on my Instagram (linked in my profile) 💡🌈
#MSWL Day

Happy #MSWL day! I’m an associate agent at Azantian Literary Agency, building my list in YA, queer romance, select nonfiction, and graphic novels for all ages. Query me here!
querytracker.net/query/bookmarkobrien

I'm also expressly looking for queer and trans narratives, stories by Palestinian authors, and weird/quirky books (a la Bunny by Mona Awad, Skydaddy by Kate Folk, My Death by Lisa Tuttle, etc) #mswl

Check out my #MSWL here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/si..., and submission guidelines here: inkwellmanagement.com/contact/! no ai stuff pls.

I absolutely would love to see more #LGBTQ + stories in my queries next week. I like vegan characters. I'm not a fan of time travel stories or stories with circus settings. #MSWL

#MSWL day

1) Gayer, swoonier romance (gay, here, meaning any LGBTQ+ pairing that leans into the queerness of it)

2) Small stories with BIG personal stakes (e.g. TJ Klune esque), preferably with magic but not required if romance
