What I’m looking for, to start of 2021: #MSWL instagram.com/p/CLCU-i-nazy/…

AFTERSHOCKS by @NadiaOwusu1 is officially my favorite memoir ever— #amquerying writers this is the perfect example of how to share stories with specificity, vulnerability, and, of course, beautiful writing. And I love the world history woven into the protagonist's journey. #MSWL

ok but also eternal #mswl

While it's still pitch dark outside by 5:30, I'd be extremely down for a middle grade ghost story, agent friends #MSWL

Send me your horror projects, please and thank you! #mswl

I'm really interested in RomComs right now. I have no rom-com authors on my lineup, and I've been eagerly looking for them. Other than than that, you can check out my #mswl here...taragilbert.com/mswl/

Hello, hello #amquerying! I know I've been closed to queries for quite some time, but here is your chance to pitch me! I'll be participating in the @SavvyAuthors Sweetheart Pitchfest this week! Starting Wednesday you can pitch me all your MSs that have romance in them! #MSWL

"I’m looking for stories featuring morally ambiguous protagonists! Give me your liars, your thieves. Your unlikeable peeps! I do NOT like reading about perpetually happy characters who spend their lives being good and moral (snooze)." @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I LOVE the iconic buildings of Paul R. Williams, but I had no idea how important he and his work really were. I would love to see a picture book about this man and his architecture. #mswl

#MSWL autistic main characters written by autistic authors.

I can see when the research a NT writer has done consists solely of media exposure to, rather than interaction w/ND people.

These authors mean well. But media exposure is NOT enough to write w/o harm to the community.

I just about smashed my phone when I read this.
#MSWL autistic characters by autistic authors, ALWAYS.
(This is not to say I think NT writers shouldn't include ND characters, but this treatment is super gross I cannot nope that hard enough)

“Realistic middle grade stories featuring characters with compelling interests, like in The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Pérez and The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

If your WIP pairs a fun, wholesome, brightness with something dark and sinister bubbling below the surface, I want it. #mswl

Mainlined all of Lupin last night & this afternoon, and it is SO EXTREMELY MY SHIT! A kind-of retelling where the source material exists in-universe and the characters are consciously riffing on it? Meta af, sign me up. Also an eternal #mswl
