Now that I’m back open to queries here’s a bit of my #MSWL - YA near future Sci Fi, atmospheric Southern Gothic, and witches. All the witches. #MG #YA #diversevoices #ownvoices

I’m open to a whole range of #ownvoices books, but I especially want to see more books featuring Asian and adoptee characters. I dream of finding a Vietnamese culinary journey one day. #MSWL 2/2

As you know I've been on the hunt for more #ownvoices and #diversebooks in nonfiction & fiction in mystery, suspense, thriller, upmarket & literary, & women's fiction. #MSWL

While #ownvoices and #diversebooks have caught on in YA, I'm still struggling to see it in adult and, frankly, that's what I want more of. #MSWL My target genres right now are: literary & upmarket fiction, mystery, suspense, thriller, & women's fiction.

#MSWL call for more historical romance, especially diverse stories from #ownvoices authors! I adore Regencies and Scotsmen, but I'd also love to see some new time periods, new settings, and new voices. Bonus points if your characters make me laugh.

And if we're talking dream books, anyone remember Gotta Kick It Up! ? Give me the fresh, #ownvoices YA version of that. #MSWL

In general, my #MSWL includes mystery, suspense, thriller, women's fiction, upmarket & literary fiction. I want more #ownvoices in all things and more #diversebooks #thursdaythoughts

I'd love to play a part in diversifying travel writing, and am always open to projects from #ownvoices authors writing about travel and the outdoors. #MSWL

Queer writers of color, this white cis gay man sez, LET'S DO THIS. #mswl

My kids are Chinese American. My son, in particular, doesn’t often see himself reflected in the books he reads. I’d love to see more #ownvoices MG books featuring male Asian American characters. #MSWL #askUpstart

I'm now open to submissions! Looking for YA & adult sci-fi, fantasy, and historical fiction, especially #ownvoices/queer/feminist stories and graphic novels for all ages and across genres.

I still want #ownvoices set outside the US of all types, but I'm (at least for now) especially interested in fish out of water #ownvoices which allows the reader to see it through the eyes of an outsider who has been let inside. #MSWL

Two of my top books for 2018 so far are #ownvoices set in countries outside the US (Singapore & Cuba). These are the types of books I want more of #MSWL

It's not lost on me that some of my top books of the year are #ownvoices Inspiring me to write up an #MSWL calling for more #ownvoices in my Query inbox: QueryMe.Online/Jessica_Faust
