My next #MSWL

Literary “Romance”—I want a deeply thematic & potentially twisted story about complexity of relationships/ love.

HEA ok but prefer not.

Lots of interiority but center around an external happening!

LGBTQ+ yes! But prefer when sexuality is not the main conflict

Vibes:

Bodies of water. Mean Girls. Worms. Reality tv. Y2K. School settings where we actually learn stuff. Social media addiction. Capitalism and how it relates to [blank]. Pyramid schemes. Cults. Instant reaction, especially alongside capitalism. Gay stuff.

· Raw, unflinching, queer yearning and desire in the vein of These Violent Delights. I want prose and characters that hurt. Send me characters that would claw off their flesh and tear out their bones to make a gift box for their heart and give it to the person they love.

LITERARY, GOTHIC, and WEIRD FICTION:

· Religious trauma along the lines of The Monk and A Dowry of Blood, especially religious trauma as it relates to being trans/queer.

Adult/YA Romantasy:

I really want to see queer stories here (and everywhere else too!). I especially want sapphic and trans/nonbinary characters. High or low stakes is okay here so long as the romance is believable and I get the worldbuilding! 9/?

I am a mean ass stemmy gay bitch who hangs out with cool ass queer motherfuckers who ball out on a regular basis and don’t give a fuck about the capitalistic wet dream of a pocket white fence and that’s the shit I want to read and write about.

Adult:
- genre bending & blending across the board!
- fantasy and horror in the same vein as YA: gripping, dark, cerebral, exciting
- near future sci-fi with alternate/parallel realities, androids, and science that feels real
- queer romance with commercial hooks!

I'm very open to #diversity of every kind. It's such a given in my house (with gay kids), and my sales list is very diverse, so I didn't really think about specifying that. I'm sorry for any confusion.

Some queer #MSWL ! First, stories about marginalized and queer people going abroad and finding themselves. Or queer romance featuring equestrians. Any tennis centered queer books PLEASE?! And a general call out for trans stories from trans authors.

as hopefully offers solidify & client duty calls, I’ll become more selective and slow responding with requests

that being said, for March I’d love to see more YA in my inbox, especially queer + BIPOC (the the latter applies to everything)

4) In the adult nonfiction space, I'm dying for books by LGBTQ+ evangelicals who are challenging the Christian space from within the faith and bringing new perspectives (Kate Bowler, Matthew Vines, Rachel Held Evans)

#MSWL : sports romances! Especially queer and/or BIPOC.
I was hugely into sports as a kid and am specifically looking for super fun rom-coms in this area that'll give you all the feels! (No preference on which sports are featured!) Adult, New Adult, and YA welcome.

I'm in my dark fiction era! #MSWL

Give me all the horror (!!), mysteries, & thrillers, especially highlighting marginalized POVs (BIPOC, disabled, LGBTQIA+, & all the intersections). I've been so fortunate to read some for fun & for work, but I'm still feeling insatiable!
