#MSWL #LGBT How about hist fic where nobleman's WIFE finds a mistress and must conceal their love? 😍I second this #MSWL. I'd totally also be down for a historical where a woman is married and knows her husband is in love with another man, but they're best friends, so she helps him hide it from the public, or vice versa. Read one like this once and am still in love with it.

I am always interested in hearing from diverse authors, esp authors of color, LGBTQ, with both visible and invisible disabilities, and economically disadvantaged. #MSWL #WishLishWednesday More here: fuseliterary.com/carlisle-webbe…

In honor of #rwa18, here are some of the top things on my #MSWL: 1) Die Hard as a romance novel; 2) The Martian as a romance novel; 3) Jurassic Park as a romance novel (non-shifter--gimme scientists in danger!); 4) lumberjacks, and yes I am serious;OMG, yes! Die Hard as a romance novel YES!!! I’d love all of these as LGBTQ+ #OwnVoices #RomanticSuspense #RomCom #ContempRomance #PNR #MSWL

I am also looking for a transgender family story--a family going through a child's transition or a child with a transgender parent #MSWL #AskAgent I'm sure the list could go on. lol

Beth celebrated Boston #pride a couple weeks ago with this badass sign. AND here is your reminder that many agents on #TeamBookEnds are actively seeking #LGBTQ & #ownvoices representation across the genres! #query #mswl instagram.com/p/BkXxBHwh7FD/

@YAFantasyFan Hi Kelly, would you consider repping a MG contemporary if it spoke to you? Thanks so much!Yes, I would! :) Specifically if it's heart warming MG and has LGBTQIA+ characters. #MSWL

16yo Whit is riding a bus to NYC, hoping to find her father. Along the way, she tells her seatmate about the life-and the girl-she left behind in FL. MOSQUITOLAND x WE ARE OKAY in a story that alternates b/t past and present, lies and truth. #PitMad #YA #CON #LGBTThis sounds amazing! #MSWL

It's pride month! I'm gonna re-up my publishing ask for more upper middle-grade / younger YA books that feature kids (esp kids of color) who identify as being on the ltbtqia+ spectrum, THANKS.This is eternally on my #MSWL. I really want diverse lgbtqia+ middle grade on my client list, especially stories for those queer girl-identifying tweens.

Reminder that not all work by POC must be weighty, dramatic books. White authors got to write thousands of fluffy books and cash the checks. We shouldn't be appreciated only when it gets dark and horrible.I so badly want these “fluffy” YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities). #MSWL

I dug through hundreds of obituaries & spoke to gay ballplayers from the 1940s up through the 1990s to find the queer history of women in baseball that we stand to lose if it isn't documented. narrative.ly/the-hidden-que…
