And when you write that story, please consider me. My query box reopens February 1. #MSWL

Hey authors! If you’ve been working on a Black Women’s Fiction or Rom-Com we’d love to see it!

attempting to set up my #MSWL today! i never thought i'd need to look at wordpress again but here we are

This poem. As a picture book. Wow. #mswl

And, like everyone other publishing person in the world, I would like more graphic novels. (There were two I was very excited about that went to other agents. Sad trombone.) Particularly about MG kids doing fun things? This is vague. #mswl

Not those "episode of the week", let's learn to be nice to people who have disabilities. I want the cool fun stuff they get to do after people stop being jerks! #mswl This also applies for POC, LGBTQIA and other groups that usually have "issue books." JOY BOOKS.

I guess I should post some #MSWL? I'm still a bit ~fragile~ since I'm having a lot of symptoms from my chronic illness. What I want is to find something joyous in my inbox. Especially, I was thinking last night, about people with disabilities or illness.

As promised, I am opening to queries again today. QueryManager.com/EmilyKeyes I hope I'm not jinxing it by opening before the ceremony. But I am feeling hopeful and it's been awhile.

Why some of Kamala Harris' biggest fans are in Canada mercurynews.com/2019/05/07/kam… via @mercnews @boogiedownbooks pointed me to this article about teen Kamala's protest with her sister. Ooh. I love teen activists. #MSWL

High on my #MSWL: Romance set in a world like Kim Harrison's Hollows novels, but fun and quirky instead of dark, for the Mystic Line. cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti…

“Calling all writers specializing in laughter and love! I’m now officially accepting submissions for adult rom coms. My sweet spot is big on the com, light to medium on the rom.” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

i was an ecology major, but somehow i still reference the episode of the wild thornberrys where eliza ruins the galapagos ecosystem by giving a bird a needle more than anything i learned in college.

anyways, i acquire MG now & i would ❤️ a BIPOC eliza thornberry-esque mc! #mswl

The content I crave! So like...duh #mswl

That's it for now on my #mswl. If there's ever a hesitation, go ahead and shoot me a query! So excited to get started!

Right now, I am NOT the right person for books with pregnancy, babies, pregnancy loss -- they would be pretty much automatic "no thank yous." If it's a TINY part of your story and you REALLY think I'll like it otherwise, pls include a content warning. #MSWL

I want to read these books! #MSWL

On the flip side, I'm not the right person to query with your high fantasy. It's just not my cup of tea and lots of agents would LOVE to see it from you, so don't waste your own time. #MSWL

#MSWL update! I'm now accepting thrillers in adult fiction (as well as in YA, which has always been the case). I am NOT looking for anything law-enforcement focused, including FBI/CIA. I am looking for the story to contribute to a larger sociopolitical conversation.

Random things I love that will catch my eye: I'm an aerialist with a soft spot for circus/acrobat stories; amusement parks; beach towns; casinos/card games/Las Vegas; heists (women-led even better); hotels (teen Eloise, pls); Halloween; summer camp; sharks (is that weird?!) #MSWL

Literary or fairytale #retellings – but they have to really stand out and bring something new. Bonus for more under-the-radar or lesser-told tales or mashups. #MSWL
