I've finally had a chance to update my #MSWL on my website SeraRivers.com/mswl. Also, something I would REALLY LOVE to see is a modern-day #BIPOC #THEWESTINGGAME! Someone send me tis PLEASE! #queryme #amquerying #literaryagent #kidlit #ya #mg #pb #gn #kidlitart

and gripping narrative histories about overlooked figures or moments! not an exhaustive list of what I’m looking for, but definitely top of mind. if the voice is unique, and the sentences are strong, I’ll be excited to read 😎 (4/4)

pop culture writers who take their material seriously and explore its social/cultural/political stakes #mswl (3/4)

I’m hungry for books that that counter popular myths about immigration—US and global—with a strong personal element #mswl (2/4)

it’s Friday, a good day to let agents know that I’m open to nonfiction submissions! I’m always searching for fresh Latinx/Central American voices, immigrant writers, and undocumented/formerly undocumented folks. more specifically though… (1/4) #mswl

“Remember the trend of adult couple resort romcom movies? Share with me your diverse thriller/suspense equivalents.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Now how do I get on the side of Twitter that gushes profusely about CHARMING AS A VERB by @gohomeben on the regular ??? Bc how does it not come up more??

(YA contemp, Black love (both darkskin), Black boy MC, no Black trauma focus??? Yeahhh it’s giving #mswl !!)

I’m open to looking at MG. I’m working on updating my #MSWL. Thanks for asking!

some characters types i love
- demyx from kingdom hearts (lazy, lovable, a lil incompetent, the best)
- izaya orihara from durarara!!
- zack fair from FFVII (dude goes from idealistic puppy to jaded optimist, and it's SO GOOD)

i genuinely don't think anyone can pull something like the nier games, but i do love stories that try to answer the philosophical questions of what it means to be human and why do we do what we do, so if your story tackles smth like this from a fresh pov, then lemme at it.

- "i have a ghost friend" a la yugioh with characters like yami yuugi or astral, or even like hikaru no go where the protag gets wrapped up in a new world and gains a new skill and passion
- stuff that could be comp'd to "megaman: nt warrior" with personal AI avatars

some random things i just want to see because they'd bring me joy
- a character who has a pet hamster (i have two and they're SO CUTE)
- ragtag team-up that goes from reluctant to "i would die for any of you" in friendship/romance intensity

in vein with AC, some things that have done this include the anime movie Your Name, which I enjoyed immensely and cry every time

some video game comps i would LOVE to see include
- final fantasy (especially XII, the aesthetic of kingdoms and sky pirates and a partnership like balthier and fran's? swoon)
- assassin's creed, where the past and present have intertwining plots that are relevant to each other

if you've been here for a while or i'm new to your feed: i accept queries from bipoc writers only, so this is just an evergreen thing on my wishlist. diversity in this industry is incredibly important to me, so if your project even tangentially covers smth here: query me <3

if there are any bipoc writers can comp their novel to a final fantasy game, i'm in. please query me. like, just so everyone is aware.
and with that, I will start a new #MSWL thread!

Authors, we're looking for #devotionals with depth and originality. Should have a definable audience. Authors with a strong platform, send your #query. No DMs. Submission guidelines: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #InspyBooks #WritingCommunity #amquerying

You know what I've been looking for for years? A book about a kid who feels the pressure of a professional ballet school. Thought of it again recently with the sad passing of Stephanie Selby, of A Very Young Dancer. #MSWL
