Make it a *magical* competition (pageant or otherwise) and this is an instant #MSWL

Heck, make it a intergalactic pageant. Go wild. Please.

Do I need a delightful romcom based on the hottest couple in the world? I do. Send me your queer pageant stories! #MSWL

this is the stuff of #MSWL for sure

I'm still looking for a funny middle-grade novel in the vein of Rick Riordan Presents. Other comps include Ms. Marvel, ATLA, or a really gay School for Good and Evil. #MSWL

As always, anything super queer and written by LGBTQ+ authors is welcome in my inbox. #MSWL

Is “send me your book that reads like fanfiction written about your queer dnd party’s adventures” too specific of an #MSWL?

Have a pile of submissions to get to but a #mswl that's been on my heart ever since my trans/NB partner told me they've never seen themself reflected in lit: more books (PB, MG, YA, GN) featuring genderqueer main characters pls. There's power in lit, and the fascists know it.

You know that scene in Rings of Power where ****** is in *********'s head and it's the evil one being all join me and be my light etc?

Gimme that same energy but genderbent and/or queer.

#mswl

What I do love to see in the YA Contemporary field are thrillers, hauntings that can toe the line of horror without going overboard, rom-coms, friendship break ups, and grandparent relationships. I especially love to see all this with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ characters. #mswl

Agents! I am eager for new, exciting acquisitions and I updated my #mswl to prove it! Check out what I’m looking for here (spoiler alert: subversive horror, witty rom coms, & unique genre mash-ups): manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alis…

some very specific identities of mine that i get REALLY excited to see in books, especially if combined with any of the above:
🐚 Massachusetts native
🏺 ceramic artist
🎻 violinist
💄 queer femme
🏳️‍🌈 women's college grad

#MSWL

contemporary retellings of non-Western folklore have been on my wish list for a while now, but i'd also like to see BIPOC- and queer-led reinventions of ~the classics~ like @NghiVoWriting's THE CHOSEN AND THE BEAUTIFUL

#MSWL

queer, feminist, and non-Western horror with subtle social commentary and an atmosphere that fills me with a sense of creeping dread and makes me throw your book across the room while my heart pounds dramatically

#MSWL

as always, my list focuses primarily on BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, and other historically excluded voices. eu adoraria representar mais autores brasileiros especialmente!

#MSWL

💕 Romance 🏳️‍🌈

Including LGBTQ+ romance, YA romance and romantic comedy. I would love an adult Heartstopper or Love Frankie, as well as rom com that is laugh-out-loud funny.

#MSWL

LISTEN, if anybody out there has a queer regency fantasy full of yearning and secrets and also an HEA that's currently sitting in my QM inbox, PLEASE do let me know #MSWL

as always, i am prioritizing marginalized authors—disabled, BIPOC, queer, neurodivergent, etc. my main goal is to lift and champion authors from underrepresented communities!

- neo-western
- unconventional, unreliable, unlikeable narrators and central characters
- trans and queer joy, but also trans and queer rage
- diverse perspectives

#MSWL

in terms of GENRES and NARRATIVES, I love:

- historical, particularly 19th and 20th century and particularly focused on international, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ stories
- alternate history
- dark academia
- horror and gothic
- character-led literary fiction
