Black gay boys should get to do magic. We should get to be the hero (or the villain). We should get epic stories about US. Black gay kids should get to see themselves in media of all types and all the love and validation and inspiration that comes along with it. We deserve.Evergreen #MSWL

Bipoc, neurodiverse, and queer folk are always my main priority

Voicey YA romcoms, especially if they’re queer, and especially if they’re made more high-concept with a unique structure or unexpected twist

Literary Agent
in fiction and nonfiction, I particularly want to see more BIPOC, disabled, LGBT+ authors (though please don't feel pressured to disclose anything you're not comfortable with)
more indigenous/non-Western culture, mythology, and tropes

In YA, I’d love to see:
☀️RomComs—enemies to lovers from diverse voices
☀️Contemporary—stories that deal with illness. Funny heart-warming stories that build on friendship & family
☀️Mystery/Thrillers👀—please
☀️Sci-fi—with a romance thread
☀️LGBTQ—centered on love/growth

MIDDLE GRADE:--Queer coming of age with strong friendships and maybe first love
--High-spirited adventures, realistic OR fantasy
--Realistic fiction about a character dealing with mental health difficulties and finding a light at the end of the tunnel
Seriously, writers, dying for this queer coming of age #mswl #amquerying #querytip
