Me when I'm in my inbox #MSWL

Queer rom-coms. All the queer rom-coms (but if someone out there has written a sapphic age-gap rom-com, know that’s my favorite) #MSWL

Fast-paced, plot-driven contemporary thrillers—preferably super queer. I’m basic about thrillers. I love the formula. I like Reese’s picks. Just give me propulsive and in-line with the market. #MSWL

And I lowkey would love to find a queer story collection a la Bryan Washington or Anthony Veasna So! #MSWL

Romance! Happy to consider any and all queer and BIPOC stories, would especially love a cozy fantasy with romance, a horror romance, something speculative/five minutes in the future.

Anything that can be comped to Talia Hibbert, Helen Hoang, Emily Henry, etc. #MSWL

An isolated thriller! I eat them up like popcorn!

I'd also love to see a thriller following a queer friend group or found family! Recently enjoyed First Lie Wins.
#MSWL

Queer characters across all genres. I'd love to see more trans femme stories, especially with joy and/or being the center of some adventure or solving a mystery/crime/murder! #mswl

This, but lesbian, is exactly what I want in a thriller #MSWL

-Adventure and/or heist roms (the more bonkers, the better)
-Contemporary romance/rom coms (though it needs to have a strong voice and strong hook)
-Nerdy/fandom romances (comic con, cosplay, fanart/fanfic, D&D, etc.)
-sports roms (particularly BIPOC and/or LGBTQ)

Yes #mswl

#mswl #querying

@RebeccaLMatte is back open to queries! She's looking for Adult and YA Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Romance, and is especially excited about queer romance and stories that are unabashedly nerdy.

MG/YA #MSWL :
☑️ Horror
☑️ SFF (especially afro-futurism & magical realism variety)
☑️ Mysteries/Thrillers (would love some chilling psychological thrillers)
☑️ Historicals with a twist (spec, queer, mystery, etc.)

#MSWL Update Thread:
All-Ages:
☑️ BIPOC
☑️ Queer/Trans
☑️ ND
☑️ Disability
☑️ Religions & spiritual beliefs that are underrepresented in publishing
☑️ Intersectionality

The world we live in is diverse. Books written for kids in the 21st century should reflect that

#MSWL Definitely in my nostalgia era: would love to see fun teen spy/heist/secret society books like I read ten years ago! I *adored* Ally Carter's lively plotlines and would love to see new takes with similar levels of fun/adventure, especially from BIPOC and queer authors!

8) Queer & disability norm worlds. Anything that turns on a perceived weakness that turns out to be a strength.

and finally

9) Books that channel the anger at our world, our politics, injustice into something powerful. Like Those Beyond the Wall by Micaiah Johnson.

And, on that note: I open to queries on Monday, July 1. I feel like I should update my #mswl accordingly, but be prepared, it's a mish mash:

1) Romances with BIPOC, queer and disabled leads. I'm dying for joyful books that touch on real world challenges without dwelling.
