I love thrillers that are all about characters being forced to make choices where no answer is clearly 'right'. Go moral complication! #MSWL

Diversity strengthens writing! Quote: "[...]it’s about subtracting homogeneity for the sake of realism. - Kowal" Send me diverse SFF! #MSWL

Maybe it's my nostalgia talking, but if you were ever inspired by McCaffrey, Yolen, Wrede, or Norton & Lackey, send me all your books. #MSWL

Creepy, eerie, scary #YA #MG horror. Something that feels fresh, with a twist. Keep me up at night scary! #MSWL

Fresh take on time travel #MG #YA Not looking for someone going back in time to save world. Think outside the box! BTW love Outlander #MSWL

#Sands takes fantastical monsters to the dunes. I'd love something else like this. #mswl buff.ly/1X0gbZI https://t.co/Jv5o1hjpDi

What I really love are books that 'spin a yarn' (so to speak), where each plot beat and revelation are tuned for maximum impact. #MSWL

Gorgeously written historical YA. Give me the feels-high stakes, gripping time and exciting subplot-mystery, magic, intrigue, romance #MSWL

Funny. All things funny! I especially love smart humor, witty, slightly sarcastic. No gross out or over-the-top please. #MG #YA #PB #MSWL

I like all things dark and twisty, full of secrets and forbidden, It could be a secret society, forbidden romance, a thriller/mystery #MSWL

One more #mswl: If you write SFF like CJ Cherryh or Ann Leckie, query me.

Give me all the historical romance where the leads end up full partners, each person's strengths complimenting the other's weaknesses. #MSWL

MG or YA with magical realism. #MSWL

I want Sherlock Holmes in outer space. #mswl

I'd love to see literary MG or YA that takes narrative risks. #MSWL

MG or YA where main character is first generation American. #MSWL

Character driven MG and YA. If you've got high stakes and know your characters well, I'd like to see it! #MSWL

Beautiful and/or stunning #Nonfiction that looks and reads like a magazine #Lifestyle #Science #Biography #PopCulture #MSWL

#MSWL It would be great to have a humorous YA about the behind the curtain aspect of a Disney-like theme park.

One more time for the cheap seats: I am looking for smart genre fiction. Guidelines here: cookeagency.ca/submissions.htm #MSWL
