2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

I’d also love to see queries from LGBTQIA writers, especially stories of joy and, given everything going on in the world, will prioritize how I can queries from trans writers if you choose to such identify in your letter (of course you do not have to)

8 - Couples (or throuples) ready to take a stand and burn down the world for each other. Bonus if they’re queer!

4 - Queer fantasy, queer SF, queer dark academia, queer Gothic, queer roadtrips, queer retellings, queer… you get the gist.

I can't look at #MoodPitch today 😞 but I'm going to list a couple random #mswl wants I've been thinking abt lately:

🍩 contemp sff in the vein of LIGHT FROM UNCOMMON STARS: gorgeous, moving, queer, making magic out of the ordinary
🌜 a ferocious, heart pounding love story
1/3

In Graphic Novels (young readers, MG, and YA), I'd love to see:
📷 STEM topics for young readers
📷 Tweens saving the world
📷 Queer teens living their best lives

First and foremost, I'm building an inclusive list with a variety of voices and genres. I'm looking for BIPOC authors, queer authors, neurodivergent authors, disabled authors, and generally, authors from historically excluded backgrounds. #MSWL

"I want an LGBTQIA+ novel in the vein of ONE DAY (high concept, unique structure, deep and sweeping love story)."

I am as always actively seeking manuscripts from queer, trans, disabled, and neurodivergent writers, BIPOC, and other marginalized populations.

Fantasy romance, especially queer fantasy romance, like A MARVELLOUS LIGHT. Happy to receive both dark and cozy romances!

Make it queer and bipoc and #mswl 😅

Pondering my current #mswl. I’d still love to see some high-concept YA romance (if queer then all the better) that addresses the climate crisis… ecological, possibly international, could be a version of our world, could be fantasy?

it has finally happened! i have a #mswl !

take a peek and see if i'm a good candidate for your submission 🐱👀🤠❣️

I changed my Twitter name in the hopes my query box will magically fill up with MORE GAY BOOKS* #mswl 😜

“Looking for nonfiction proposals about pop culture, environmental science, social history, music journalism, and LGBTQ+ topics."

From Monday 3/6 to Sunday 3/19 I'll be reopening to queries for two weeks only. 👀

Feel free to check out my #MSWL at:
✨erniechiara.com/mswl and at:

or check out my extended MSWL twitter thread at:

Two specific #MSWL items that will be on my list when I reopen to queries:
1, survivors of family "reunification" programs (like Building Family Bridges), fictionalized or NF accounts
2, fiction that explores the unique friendships between gay men and lesbians

🥳I am officially open to queries🥳

Let's chat about the tropes I'm looking for, and what makes me dive into a manuscript! Here’s my #MSWL for more info on the books I want to help people discover!
manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/grac…

Writing that's sharp and biting, or writing that's lyrically astounding. Is there a touch of magic? A heap? Yes, I want it.

And I want all of it to be BIPOC and/or queer.

Here's my #MSWL link! Can't wait to hear from you soon!! 🥳
