Plot points I'd love to see #MSWL -- trapped in the wilderness, mom/school/PTO type stories, set in Alaska, magical food & always #ownvoices #diversebooks

I am scouring my inbox for psychological fiction, the next Big Little Lies, & more #ownvoices and #diversebooks #MSWL

I am definitely looking for more psychological suspense/thrillers. I'd really love more #diversebooks #ownvoices in that genre #mswl

Now I want this as an #ownvoices SF, please. ""It’s something of a double entendre,” Francis said, with “red planet” referring both to Mars and Native American lands." #MSWL

I'm still looking for this book. It doesn't have to be set in America, or even our world. What I'm really after is a book that engages with the abuses perpetrated against indigenous people, in particular women, and the colonizer's legacy of violence and oppression. #mswl

Looking for weird #YA in #pitmad today...I want something surreal like FX's Atlanta, or A.S. King's 'Still Life with Tornado.' Can't really figure out what it is yourself? #Ownvoices writer? Query me. #MSWL

#MSWL would love to see more submissions #ownvoices Indigenous/First Nations stories rich in culture and history.

#mswl Any kind of #ownvoices high fantasy that explores a non-European setting. (I'm a huge fan of @nkjemisin's THE KILLING MOON, fwiw!)

I would love to find a fun, queer, #ownvoices MG that makes me as happy and hopeful as STAR-CROSSED by Barbara Dee. #MSWL goodreads.com/book/show/2724…

Also! I’d love to see more #ya #ownvoices #fantasy. I seriously can’t get enough YA fantasy 😍 I’d especially like to see projects where the plot isn’t centered around the MC overthrowing an evil ruler. #MSWL

Twisty, absurdly funny, fast-paced psychological thrillers, with #ownvoices teen POC, attacking ideas of identity, paranoia, plunder. Think 'Ripley' meets 'Get Out.' #MSWL #YA

Yes, please! Always looking for more friendship stories in YA and would love to see this featuring a diverse group friends. #MSWL #LGBTQIA #OwnVoices
