"If you’re a journalist with a story to tell, whether you’re exposing unjust systems in America or shining light on an unsolved crime, I want to bring attention to issues and people *not* always in the spotlight." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

This! I’ve been seeking books like this! #MSWL 👇👇👇

Sword fighting gay and trans folks will probably always be on my #MSWL ⚔

need this adult thriller vibe #mswl

I need a chapter book series about the adventures and hijinks these girls go on! PLEASE! #mswl

For the foreseeable future, perhaps worth noting that I am not the right agent match for books about/set during/featuring the pandemic. Give me escapist literature where Covid-19 never happened! #mswl

Eternal #MSWL for fantasy (Agented)

#MSWL

all this Satan talk has reminded me that I'd LOVE a re-telling of Paradise Lost #MSWL

I'm on the hunt for excellent, original #romance in the sci-fi/fantasy genres that fits Mystic Owl guidelines. Submission details here: cityowlpress.com/queries/#mysti… #MSWL #querytrenches #amquerying

I recently reread ALMA AND HOW SHE GOT HER NAME and it’s truly one of my all time favorites. I’d love to see more projects in my inbox exploring the things—names, food, places—that connect us with the generations before us. PB (author-illustrator only), MG/YA novel, GN. #mswl

I’m loving all the nonfiction queries I’m getting! I’d also love to see more illustrators/graphic novelists who are interested in creating/working on NF projects for kids. #mswl

“Send me your baking cookbook proposals, especially allergy-sensitive ones. Reinvent the wheel on attention-grabbing cakes and easy-to-make recipes.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I’m particularly interested in a story that explores:

🌀disco’s beginnings in Black and queer communities

🌀 the commercialization and appropriation of the genre as it gained popularity

🌀 the (racist and homophobic foundation of the) anti-disco movement

#MSWL

#MSWL horror novel based off
those creepy corporate anti-union Twitter bots

THIS.

I also wouldn’t mind it in YA book form👀 #mswl

#mswl fiction in the motherhood space with ANOTHER big layer (i.e. capitalism, race, health, disability etc)

#mswl generational stories of parenthood and family with non-binary and/or trans characters in the commercial or historical adult fiction genre (ie. heavy with plot!)
