With #queerpit approaching, I thought I'd write up a super specific super gay #MSWL . I acquire for picture books, MG, YA, graphic novels, & nonfiction for Atheneum, and I'm looking for queer esp intersectional (BIPOC, neurodivergent, disabled) and trans/NB/genderqueer voices. 1/6

👋 I'm Ivan! Assistant Editor at Sourcebooks, Kids!

📚 Open to submissions: Picture books and graphic novels!

GN #MSWL : If any creators/agents have a project w/a similar vibe as this, I'd love to see it! I'm also on the lookout for coming-of-gender stories; queer romance; contemporary like Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up.., This One Summer, Go with the Flow; absurdly funny MG/early readers

"Seeking generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)"

Twitter is doomed, but I’m so excited to share my #MSWL !! Agents — would love to connect. More info here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/claire-cheek/

Absolutely! It’s one of my #MSWL items:

BIPOC, queer, and minority groups are always the most welcome. My inbox is a safe place. Please share your beautiful stories with me.

"Send me romantasy with strong fantasy and romance elements – it needs to have solid worldbuilding and plot as well as off-the-charts chemistry. I would love to see more queer (especially sapphic) romantasy!"

But I am still relatively new and not burned out by this industry yet... And we are really excited over at Romantic Suspense to find new authors, especially authors writing diverse perspectives, so if you have questions, hit me up! My full wishlist is pinned in my profile.

We updated our romantic suspense guidelines last year and are actively doing outreach to find authors who are writing LGBTQ+ stories. I know that category romance in general and Harlequin in particular have not always been quick to embrace stories from underrepresented voices.

Reupping my #MSWL request for queer romantic suspense stories. If you are a writer or you know a writer who loves writing m/m or f/f pairings in a romantic suspense setting, please get in touch. My DMs are open or you can reply here and I'll answer what I can.

An LGBTQ+ protagonist and a thrilling twist?

That’s going to be on Adams shelf before you hit send 🫡
