ok so I’ve come to the realization that this is the plot of the 2005 masterpiece Just Friends so I guess... #mswl: Just Friends, without the fatphobia and ideally, queer

If you want to query me, FIRST check out my MSWL and Westwood's submission guidelines. I also tweet specific #MSWL asks and #QueryTips! I prioritize submissions from Black and/or BIPOC, non-binary and/or trans, and disabled/chronically ill authors.

Anyone have a And Then There Were None but BIPOC & queer?

#mswl

Mystery, in certain subgenres! I saw an editor #MSWL asking for “fresh cozies for millennial readers,” which, yes please! As in YA, I'm absolutley looking for queer mysteries. Some dislikes: No young children in harm’s way/being secretly evil. No cop MC’s or love interests.

Onto adult! Romance across categories/romcoms, particularly queer and/or BIPOC. Anthing comped to Alyssa Cole, Olivia Waite, Cat Sebastian, Georgia Beers, Beverly Jenkins, Rebekah Weatherspoon, Talia Hibbert, Alexandria Bellefleur, Rosie Danan, Roselle Lim, Alisha Rai... #MSWL

Paranormal YA fantasy (can we just call it that again?) Vampires and vampiric beasties, especially queer, especially non-western versions—give me the manananggal! The pontianak! The estrie! But really, any creature that lives a little outside the mainstream and in shadows #MSWL

Queer YA genre fiction of any kind. Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller (I didn't know I liked thrillers, but SURRENDER YOUR SONS got me this year), Sci-fi, Romance, Historical, Horror (as long as it's not too grisly; think Hill House, not Halloween). Most especially from QBIPOC #MSWL

2/ My primary focus is #OwnVoices stories by Black and/or BIPOC authors, disabled and chronically ill authors, and LGBTQ2S+ authors. I love the #SpineSquad with all my heart, but it is still a majority white group and my goal is for that to change in the future.

Queer contemporary—delve into hard topics but also make me smile!! Like contempts lighter in tone than other genres

Gideon-Harrow dynamic (HAS to be queer in some way) y’all these two *chefs kiss*

Queer ensemble casts!!!

Trans/non-binary MCs and LIs!!

Romantic threads!! In!!! EVERYTHING!!! EVEN BETTER IF IT’S QUEER (seriously y’all I love me some intense yearning/pining make me want to shake the book and scream GOD DAMMIT KISS ALREADY)

OKAY HERE WE GO:

f/f Hades and Persephone retelling! As with ALL retellings, keep it subtle!! But UGH THAT PAIRING I WANT IT AND I WANT IT QUEER

#MSWL

Yes, please! #MSWL

🔥, 💖!!, and always #MSWL (thread)

I'm trying to find MG books about lesbian characters (for a friend) and coming up with VERY few on our list. Agents, please send these along - we want more of these! #mswl

I want a Big Queer Horror Book because there are so few and this is a Crime. I want to constantly be drowning in spooky queer stuff #MSWL

So much #mswl
