“Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don’t read a lot of historical fiction older than that.” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I don't talk about my family much on here, but since it's the last day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth and it's about to be #AAPIHeritageMonth, I'd like to say that celebrating voices from these communities is close to my heart, and their stories will always be #MSWL for me.❤️

I'm a huge true crime fan and lately I've been obsessed with stories of young men who mysteriously vanish from their cars. There are so many of these stories in the true crime world... I'd love to see a fiction or nonfiction project inspired by this phenomenon #mswl

"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/

Last day of #AutismAcceptanceMonth though in my house it runs all year.

Reminder, that I’m actively looking for stories from neurodivergent folks that celebrate neurodiversity, in my agent life. #MSWL

There’s news coming on some current projects, and I’d love to see more. ❤️

This might seem like a weird #MSWL but I think I want more books that approach how our future housing issue is going to look. Obviously that is not the plot but you know

I’d love to see more rom-coms in both adult, NA and YA. Bonus points for intersectionality! (BIPOC, LGBTQ+ or both!) #MSWL

Watch this space for excited first day post and updated #MSWL coming next month! Agent friends, I’ll be excited to connect (or re-connect) in early June. I can’t wait to make more incredible books together! 🥰

I'd really like to see more suspense/thriller submission from POC. #mswl #WritingCommunity

I myself am particularly interested in Maya, Aztec and Egyptian mythology. But would LOVE to learn more about others.

tl;dr When I took a fantasy literature class in college, it started with British folklore, then King Arthur then LOTR. These are still the foundations of most fantasy stories. Why?

I'd also love to see historical fantasy (which is hard because you have to world build AND do tons of research, I know) about very specific times and places that aren't England during medieval times.

So I would love to see new new tropes emerge to decolonize the genre (both kidlit and adult). Or even to turn those traditions on their head. One book I offered on and still wish I got to rep was THE STAR TOUCHED QUEEN by @Roshani_Chokshi which mixed Indian and Greek mythology

Further, our fantasy now is very heavily influenced by Tolkien and he set out specifically to write a "mythology for England". And what I'd love to see is a "mythology of [X non-western] country." (2/?)
