"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/

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!

Replying to @cbillings90

Yes, I would! :) Specifically if it's heart warming MG and has LGBTQIA+ characters. #MSWL

@KiraHawkins7 Not only does @bookendslit accept & promote LGBTQ literature, but we are always desperate for more. LGBTQ lit for all ages in all genres is a passion of ours. Wait until you see some of the fabulous upcoming books we've recently sold.

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 #LGBT

This sounds amazing! #MSWL

#MSWL I'd like to state for the record that I am still looking for, and will always be looking for, diverse perspectives, authors, characters, cultures, and environments in manuscripts and books. This includes POC, LGBTQIA+, genderfluid, neurodiverse, and all the other categories

Preeti Chhibber @runwithskizzers

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.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia @silviamg

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

Britni de la Cretaz ⚾️ @britnidlc

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…

This piece on the queer women of baseball is brilliant and worth a read to start off #Pride. Also, if anyone's writing a queer take of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, please send it my way! I'd love to find a F/F historical YA sports project. #MSWL

Melissa Croce @melissacroce

random thought: i'm sure it's been done by SOMEONE but is there a modern-day LGBTQ+ book based on Pride & Prejudice that takes place during Pride?? I mean, COME ON, it's just too PERFECT!!!

#MSWL Thanks for doing my job for me Melissa bc I WANT THIS

Y'all, I'm really in the mood for some queer scifi romance, especially if it's somewhat light in tone. (Less BSG, more Firefly.) Spaceships, other worlds, fun times, please. #MSWL
