I have strong feelings about people who blithely sort coming of age novels about young people into YA or adult based on their narrow view of what constitutes "literary" writing, but that's a long-winded thread for another day. TL;DR: adults can have "coming of age" stories, tooAnyway if you're writing a coming of age (coming of self!) story about young protagonists or older protagonists, for young readers or older readers, that challenges traditional ideas of what "coming of age" means, who gets to do it, how, and when...send it to me #MSWL #AmAgenting

“YA non-fiction: Memoir, essay collections, you name it. Queer There & Everywhere is probably my favorite YA non-fic title in recent memory, and a great example of what I’d like to see.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

“Select horror—I’m more interested in psychological elements, but I don’t mind a bit of gore. Anything disturbing or unnerving is up my alley. Novels + collections welcome!” @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

For #FridayKiss, let’s hear it for the rolled sleeves look… 🥵“He wore no tie, and he had his sleeves half-rolled again. My fingers itched to trace the taut-muscled lines of his forearms.” pic.twitter.com/kr9lMEqaqv
This but *her* or *their* taut-muscled forearms 🥵 #MSWL

Seeking literary fiction in these classic genres: dark speculative/sci-fi (near-future), crime, thriller. Unique hooks & new views. Linguistic & storytelling mastery, high personal stakes, psychological depth. ❤️Kazuo Ishiguro, Katie Kitamura, Ted Chiang, Naomi Alderman #MSWL

You know what I’m feeling? Adult #RomVenture #MSWL. Think: Lost city, romancing the stone, raiders of the lost ark, how to steal a million, to catch a thief.

#MSWL Witch bottles! The video on opening the bottle was a lot of fun to watch plus great inspiration for characters from the "cunning folk" who would use these as treatments. bornfreepress.substack.com/p/issue-19-wit…

I'm just a girl, standing in front of publishing, asking them to publish stories about disabled characters... by authors who have those disabilities. 🙏Yes!! I’m opening to queries on July 1, and I’d love to receive manuscripts with disabled characters! Also #BIPOC & #LGBTQ+. Would especially love indigenous characters/stories. Check out my #MSWL while you wait! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/cath…

Thinking of how much of my grandmother was the matriarch of my family, I’d love to see a sweet/funny middle grade novel (any genre) with a substantial grandparent-grandchild dynamic!

My kingdom for more novels like THE GUNCLE, which belongs in a minigenre of "grief but FUN". Show me the hilarity of loss, the antics needed to snap out of brain fog, the awful ways in which people try to 'get it' #MSWL

#mswl BIPOC mythology! I don't know half as much as I should and I want stories that show me your glorious culture, your timeless stories, and your characters in all their facets. Bonus if it's gay (although strikes me all mythology should be gay!!)

“Psychology is perhaps my favorite field in nonfiction. I’d love to read stories about therapists and their patients in the vein of MAYBE YOU SHOULD TALK TO SOMEONE by Lori Gottlieb and GOOD MORNING, MONSTER by Catherine Gildiner.” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Happy #UPColorado Thursday! I'm (@AllegraMartsch) looking for digital #anthropology books, especially as they intersect with any of the fields the UPC consortium at large publishes in (democracy? Indigenous studies? Environmental justice?) Point me to scholars!

As much as my #MSWL currently asks for darker themes, I'd also love something cosy. If you have a MS that feels like a warm hug, please send it my way. I love playful writing and quirky characters :)
