“Ted Lasso”-level character development is forever on my #mswl

The top three things I'd love to see more of in my query inbox, in no particular order 📚 #MSWL

1. Romance of any subgenre, especially if it's queer or polyamorous
2. Contemporary fantasy with unique magic systems and lore
3. Gothic horror, particularly from marginalized voices

#MSWL. Give me a hot brown cafe owner love interest; soft eyes, impeccable hair and beard nonnegotiable ty 😍

“Stories about women con artists: grifters and scammers and swindlers, oh my!” @ceciliaclyra #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Just a reminder that KPop books by women with industry experience (especially trainee life) are on the TOP of my #MSWL at all times. Yall can keep TSwift, I'll stan these absolute sensations any day. 🖤

That's fine. WRAPPED UP IN CHRISTMAS from @HallmarkPublish and its sequel both deal with veteran PTSD.
PTSD related to abuse needs to be handled in a way to minimize re-traumatizing readers, e.g. no vivid, graphic flashbacks.

“Illustrated books like Literary Witches by Taisia Kitaiskaia and Katy Horan, Accidentally Wes Anderson by Wally Koval, and What We See in the Stars by Kelsey Oseid.” @agentvicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

This is forever on my #MSWL. The more feral, the better.

Begging for a grounded #MG or #YA sci-fi in the vein of The Lion of Mars! I read it months ago and keep thinking about it. In the meantime, I'm just going to go ahead and re-watch Cosmos as I wait 🕐🕑🕒🕓🙏 #MSWL

I’m editing too many things right now so I should Not be thinking about more manuscripts but I really want a super queer, shippy, chaotic adult horror novel please thank you #mswl

I would also take a gothic horror like this #MSWL

…#mswl

This is high on my #MSWL too!! Anyone who listened to my podcast knows how desperate I am for this in historical fiction. Please and thank you.

I feel like I'm just going to constantly retweet this until I find what I'm looking for in historical fiction. Even open to a gothic horror novel with BIPOC set in the 18th and 19th centuries. #MSWL

Agents, some stories I loved that if you have diverse authors writing in a similar vein I would definitely like to see. #mswl

1. The Morganville Vampire series, Rachel Caine
2. Maids of Honor series, Jennifer McGowan
3. The Wicked + The Divine series
4. The Diviners, Libba Bray

Seconded #MSWL

I am also looking for unforgettable characters in messy plots. In the last year I loved: Such a Fun Age, 1414°, The Lightness, Sharks in the Time of Saviors, Tampa, Parakeet, Nightfilm, Luster, Creatures, Trust Exercise, and Costalegre. #MSWL

NONFICTION: I am interested in SO MANY THINGS and I am begging, BEGGING, for the next Mary Roach to enter my inbox. Story-fying the truth or the weird is most important to me. Nonfiction needs voice as much as any novel. #MSWL

I am interested in books (both fiction and nonfiction) about rural places, small towns, insular communities, imagined or reshaped versions of these as well. My client, @swbrooman has a story collection, THE PUMP, that encapsulates what I would love to see. #MSWL
