I want to walk away from every book having learned something new, and love being inspired by personal stories in both fiction and nonfiction. I am invigorated by lost or alternate histories 8/

I find imperfect characters more interesting that those that start off with all the answers, and earned happy (or at least bittersweet) endings are some of my favorites 7/

I delight in being hooked by a high concept and a clever premise, but that creative vision needs strong character development and an attention to every word. I love gorgeous writing AND plot! 6/

I am deeply into stories with crossover appeal, whether that’s YA/adult, commercial/literary, and blending genres in surprising ways 5/

I’m eager to explore the bonds and complexities of both blood and chosen families ❤️ 4/

I’m drawn to stories that examine social issues in unique ways, and voices that have been historically underrepresented in publishing 3/

Self-help as a genre really doesn’t get the respect it deserves. I’m proud of the *TWO* self-help books I’ve written but I’ve on more than one occasion have gotten the feeling that folk discount them as not being “real” books worth being taken seriously. It stinks.Agree. Self-help is on my #MSWL

Hi writers🧍🏽♀️I’ve been doing a lot of client work & reading truly incredible submissions and overall just have been wildly busy. I’ve nearly gone through all outstanding queries and will dedicate October to submissions so please know you’ll hear from me soon if you haven’t yet!
Also, I’m reopening to queries again in November and I’ve been building, yet another, totally unhinged no context, visual only #mswl and it’s updated and even more chaotic. You can check out my old one here and judge me accordingly emilykaitlin.com/post/a-no-cont…

#SquidGame is currently Netflix’s most-watched show in 90 countries (including the UK), and the streaming service announced today that it is on track to become its most popular series of all time, meaning it would dethrone current champion Bridgerton.bit.ly/GQSquidGame pic.twitter.com/jlhukFBcjA

Sex Education, but in the form of an older middle grade novel? I'd love to see it. #MSWL

I would do absolutely anything for a manuscript with a character who has exact OVER THE GARDEN WALL Greg energy. (Preferably MG, but all genres welcome to apply.) #MSWL #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity
