Today's #MSWL, happy lesbians

I want YA with NB protagonists. I want to see the whole LGBTQ+ spectrum normalized and represented. #MSWL

#MSWL I would really love to see an adult M/M romance where a close friendship just naturally blooms into something so much more, though the characters may not yet have defined their sexual identity to each other. All heat levels.

"Contemporary #YA about a f/f or m/m couple. Something fun and sweet—not an issues-heavy coming out story.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

#MSWL LGBTQ+/Diverse characters a plus in all submissions.

#MSWL Adult fantasy with wild new magical systems/belief structures/world structures. Lace the magic into the world in surprising, original ways. Vivid settings, towering stakes, dynamic voices. Confident, unique perspectives. LGBTQ+/Diverse characters a plus.

In honor of the #alayma this morning, here is a #MSWL of the awards I'd love to have a client receive someday. The Schneider Family Book Award and The Stonewall Book Award. Even better if it's in one book! So send me your LGBTQAI+ and disability rep.

Anyone have a YA Crossover like the movie Sydney White? I'm kind of digging it right now. Body positive, nerdy, diverse, LGBTQIA+? Please? Maybe like Sydney White meets Pitch Perfect? #MSWL

Yes. #MSWL FOREVER.

I updated my #MSWL and I've already gotten stronger queries! Thanks writers, looking forward to more -- manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/dani… #amquerying

You know, I love workplace romances, but I'm dying to see more submissions centered around a non-office workplace. Send me some! Both queer and het romances welcome. #MSWL

Would love a great contemporary or historical romance featuring fat protagonists or any other marginalized person (disabled, LGBTQ, POC)! #MSWL

Very high on my #MSWL for 2018: queer fiction. Are you writing a book in the vein of WE ARE OKAY by Nina LaCour? Might you compare your work to that of Adam Silvera? Please send it to me! And I want more queer MG, especially...for present me, for past me.

I'm pretty sure I've put this out here before, but I want Hot Dude Librarian books SO MUCH. Both m/f and m/m welcome! #MSWL

#MSWL Happy 2018! Three Rooms Press - a publisher of cut-the-edge creative fiction, memoir, and nonfiction looking for strong female characters, dark humor, punky mystery with a twist, and LGBTQ YA. Agents and direct submissions both welcome. Details: threeroomspress.com/submit/

There will never be enough f/f roller derby #ER! #MSWL

Random things I would love to see more of in submissions: witchcraft; boy bands; crows/ravens; unusual structure/format; nature; female friendship; LGBTQ+ characters; WOC characters; Wes Anderson-inspired stories. #MSWL

Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL for 2018! The @PSLiterary query inbox opens on January 8th, and I can't wait to read about your book. mariavicente.com/representation/
