#MSWL pleaseeeeeee I would love this

Hello, yes, agents if you rep #horror with messy queer characters please send me those manuscripts #mswl

Hi all, back again with a #MSWL update.

I'd LOVE to get my YA romance list to match my adult romance list. @camilliemill and @chloe_liese have spoiled me rotten with inclusive, swoony romances.

For YA romance, I want all of the BIPOC rep, disability rep, and LGBTQIA+ rep 😍🤗

8) Yes, I do graphic novels! In addition to cozy fantasy, looking for MG fantasy/adventure more broadly and for moody, literary-feeling YA coming-of-age stories (the queerer the better).

2) Whoever brings me a queer YA read-alike to Casey McQuiston's Red, White, & Royal Blue and/or One Last Stop will win my heart forever (and more to the point, a lot of money 😇)

Officially wrapped on 2020 submissions! Agents, here's my #mswl for this year.

Before I start: I will always be looking to foreground queer and BIPOC voices, and on the hunt for killer hooks I can't even finish pitching without someone mashing the preorder button.

Let's go!

#MSWL (but also everyone should just read @PaperAshes’ A DARK AND HOLLOW STAR)

I'm looking for Middle Grade and Young Adult manuscripts, strong and diverse voices, as well as brave and character-driven narratives across all genres. I'm always looking for #ownvoices LGBTQI+

thread and honestly any beat of this story is a #MSWL for me in especially #MG & also #YA

#MSWL!!! We are seeking queer kid lit about whichever letter in LGBTQIA+ is meaningful to you. We want to help make the world a better place, so send your queer kid lit our way!

For Queer Memoirs, I am particularly interested in memoirs from queer authors about their queerness and the intersections of their identity.... #mswl

For Queer Adult Romance novels, I want books with queer protagonists that have distinct personalities and a fast pace. I love nearly any genre, but require that the story is queer, feminist, and body positive... #mswl

(YA/MG genre continued) Like with contemporary, I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. But above all give me a good, page turning adventure. #mswl

(YA/MG contemp continued) I am especially interested in queer, disabled, and BIPOC protagonists, especially when the books are not issue driven. #mswl

I am open to queries for all ages, fiction and nonfiction, for graphic novels, but especially love when a book has strong themes of love and/or friendship, and is extra queer. #gn #mswl #queer #lgbtq

For all the books I work with, I prefer to work with queer creators and BIPOC creators, and strongly encourage those creators to send me their work. Regardless of genre, age, subject, I like lighthearted, emotional, hopeful, adventurous reads. #mswl

Not those "episode of the week", let's learn to be nice to people who have disabilities. I want the cool fun stuff they get to do after people stop being jerks! #mswl This also applies for POC, LGBTQIA and other groups that usually have "issue books." JOY BOOKS.

To get an idea of what I'm looking for from #amquerying writers, check out this #MSWL thread I'll be updating throughout the day. #YA & #MG #fiction only. To start, I absolutely would love to see submissions by BIPoC and LGBTQ+ authors and writers with disabilities. #mswl

I am ALWAYS seeking #OwnVoices stories by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors, non-western settings, and strong voices.
