#amquerying #MSWL

Writers: I want all your quirky coming of age (adult) novels. If it’s slipstream, speculative, weird, dreamy, send it my way. I want witches. I would like to see anything that gets weird in similar ways to Daisy Johnson. If it feels like a punch to my face, great! #mswl

Are you a BIPOC woman writing a high-concept thriller set against an elite or luxurious background? We want to read it! #mswl #WritingCommunity

I LOVE murder (thanks Chucky, Freddy, and Lifetime!) mysteries. I want less “psychotic/psychopathic/sociopathic” killler (most people who have psychotic episodes or who are sociopathic are NOT killers or criminals) and more emotionally motivated killers PLEASE!!! #mswl

#amquerying MG/YA fantasy writers: Searching for character-driven, evocative, & compelling stories that sweep me away. Comp authors: Tomi Adeyemi, Kelly Barnhill, Holly Black, Margo Lanagan #mswl

#amquerying PB writers: Eager to find narrative NF with unique twist, voice, and/or subject matter with richly formatted, outside-the-box backmatter. #mswl

(3) inspired by Far From the Madding Crowd, I really want THE LOVE SQUARE to become a thing! When there are 4 not 3 involved in a tangle of romance and drama, with whatever mix of genders. There is so much mayhem to be had! Such higher stakes than the triangle of yore! #MSWL #YA

Attention #YA writers! A few things I’d love to see in my inbox:
1) Millennial nuns (I’ll always be waiting for this one)
2) 20th cent. historical set during one of the dictatorships in either Chile or Argentina
And one more that deserves its own tweet....#MSWL #wishlistwednesday

Just want to make #mswl twitter aware that I love astrology, occult, spiritual, self help books & went to namaste bookshop pretty much every week pre-covid (not to ~brag~)- here’s pics of my beloved tarot of the gnomes set for fun:

overall: I represent mostly-adult, mostly-fiction across the literary-commercial spectrum from weirdo short stories to "book club" novels to historical fiction to trade romance. I *rarely* read thrillers or hard SFF. You can query me right here: aevitascreative.com/contact/ #MSWL

prose-forward crossover speculative fiction that traffics in "what-if"s, wonder, & what the inimitable @clarebeams calls "the living strangeness of the world" #MSWL

epistolary novels, novels in emails, novels in text messages, novels in standardized tests, novels in recipes... and bonus points *always* for "but make it gay" #MSWL

so-called women's fiction that passes the Bechdel test with flying colors + romance between humans who aren't cis men 👭 #MSWL

gorgeously written literary fiction with a well earned, but mind-boggling twist (see: FATES & FURIES, TRUST EXERCISE, FINGERSMITH) 🤯 #MSWL

quirky, imaginative, highly specific stories set in grocery stores, hedge mazes, libraries and bookstores, neighborhood bakeries, historic homes & museums 🏰🌿🏦#MSWL

While I have you here, it seems like the perfect time for a little #MSWL! First & forever: queer joy! BIPOC joy! joy for people with chronic illnesses! joy for disabled people! joy for people whose bodies we don't see on TV! 🌈

Have a polished, unique sci-fi romance under 70k for adults? I'd love to read it. #MSWL #writingromance querymanager.com/query/1611

Have a polished, unique paranormal romance under 70k for adults? I'd love to read it. #MSWL #writingromance querymanager.com/query/1611

Here at Brandylane, we are constantly looking for books that speak to the breadth of the human experience. On our #MSWL we would love to see some submissions from queer BIPOC.
