In Mystery:

🔎 I’m really looking for a charming sleuth with series potential!

💾 Monster/case of the week that builds to a greater plot

🏡 Harlan Coban pacing & intricacy, but not terrible to women

🐺 True Detective: Night Country, but if they were (correctly) gay

#MSWL I want to see projects with the vibes of this song and music video: Queer with a capital Q, set in or heavily influenced by ballroom and drag culture, preferably by queer and trans BIPOC creators. This is at the top of my wishlist.

Super specific #MSWL : survival stories (including post-apocalyptic) w/a fresh spin on the survival genre & BIPOC/queer rep. Emotional MG like Alone or Hatchet or humorous and fun like The Last Kids on Earth. YA like Wilder Girls, The 5th Wave, or a grounded ownvoices Island of the Blue Dolphins

"I’m especially looking for stories from BIPOC and queer authors."

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 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!
