🌈 QUEER JOY!!! 🌈

In anything
& everything
& on its own for its own sake.
(I’m so excited to post this announcement in June, friends.)

Here’s to more incredible books. Let’s gooooo!!!!! ✨📚

- History & historical fiction that centers marginalized perspectives!
- Charming, Agatha Christie-esque mysteries!
- Stories exploring the impact of immigration!
- Friendship stories! Whimsical romps! Fun & fast-paced adventures!
- FOOD! Forever & always food!

And of course…

- Mythology! Fairytales! Folklore! (Especially from non-European cultures!)
- Magical realism! Witchery! Magic rooted in nature!
- Atmospheric, gentle fantasy a la Studio Ghibli!
- Fantasy & science fiction rooted in inclusive world-building!

- Multigenerational family stories!
- Stories about language & connection!
- Romances starring 2+ characters of color!
- Mixed-race perspectives! Explorations of belonging & being in-between!
- Healthy, empowering relationships! Found family! Community! Platonic love!

I’m acquiring picture books, MG & YA novels, and graphic novels for all ages (both fiction & nonfiction in all formats). Joyful, uplifting voice- and character-driven stories are my jam!!

My (very) full #MSWL is available here: featherflores.com/mswl

Some highlights:

Agent friends! If it’s been awhile since we connected, please reach out! I’d love to chat. 💕

And if we’ve never spoken, let’s change that! (I’m always especially excited to connect with newer/junior agents—I see the good work you’re doing & I want to buy your clients’ books!)

Something I'd really love to see in my queries is a story involving polyamory (I'm not looking for a straightforward romance though!). So I'm just going to throw that out there and hope the world throws me a bone—I've been wanting this for years and haven't found it yet. #MSWL

Please this is also my #mswl Lauren just said it first :)

Going to keep tweeting this until I see it!! I really want more YA and Adult Suspense & RomCom submissions from BIPOC writers! #mswl
