Are there any pbs not just on how to say no...but on how to hear no and be okay with it and accept rejection gracefully? Because if not then #mswl

I'd love to see in my queries:
- Atmospheric, woodsy, lush horror like THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING (YA, A)
- Domestic/psychological thrillers by BIPOC authors (A)
- Scavenger hunts (MG, YA, A)
- Eerie spec fic in isolated settings (CATHERINE HOUSE, THE WATER CURE)

I have a humble request. Can we get more queer content that isnโt so like, squeaky clean and perfect? I want more stuff where characters are undeniably queer, have faults and are messy.Literary Agent

Friendly reminder to the Universe that I am always looking for books that feel conjured from the same magic source as this album: #MSWL pic.twitter.com/u5w7iQ3CryEchoing this, as I believe I've echoed before: Joanna Newsom comps, please! If I could rep a manuscript that feels like "Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie"... #MSWL

National Geographic @NatGeo
A 62-year-old mystery has prompted conspiracies involving Soviet experiments, Yetis, and aliens. Science finally has some answers on.natgeo.com/3oy6fKKThe avalanche explains everything...except the missing eyes, tongue, and clothing of the dead...
This is why my #MSWL asks for stories that use real historical happenings as a basis for supernatural terror (i.e. Alma Katsu's The Hunger & The Deep and the TV series The Terror)!

While we're all locked up reading and writing / glued to social media, I thought I might do a thread about the kinds of submissions I'm looking for, because it worked pretty well last time...My submissions are now reopen โ #mswl below. Could be v. crudely summarised as: minoritized voices & stories/ creepy/ funny/ weird/ playful/ radical/ internationalist/ commercial middle-grade/ bold YA/ non-white genre fic/ bold adult non-fic/ anything else you like. Send away!
