"Nonfiction that merges pop culture, history, & feminism — like my client @SamMaggs’ books: THE FANGIRL’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, WONDER WOMEN, & GIRL SQUADS." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

For whatever reason, I’m really craving some historical MG, YA, and Adult right now. Scotland history and mythology in the Jacobites time, Louis the XIV court intrigue, French Revolution YA, Spanish Civil War, House of Savoy unification of Italy, Russian Revolution, etc.. #MSWL

I'll be re-opening to queries on Sept. 3; here are some things I'd love to see in my inbox! #MSWL

-nonfiction, esp. MG, YA & prescriptive and platform-driven adult (not so much PB biographies)
-POC author/illustrators
-Native/First Nations creators/authors

This is amazing. #MSWL

The agency will be closed to queries from Thanksgiving to New Year's. If you're wanting to #query make sure you get it in before Thanksgiving and check our submissions page as some agents will close to queries a little sooner. metamorphosisliteraryagency.com/submissions

I just had a dream that I was reading a book about a heist at a high school reunion, like Breakfast Club meets Usual Suspects, and now I want it. #MSWL

"I'm always in the mood for smart women's fiction that reinvents the wheel on Jane Austen. Historical like LONGBOURN or modern like THE LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES." @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I need what all that this song evokes but in a novel. Bowie, the orchestra, minor chord (pretty sure). #MSWL #YA

Nature Boy - From "Moulin Rouge" Soundtrack by David Bowie

Co-signing this request, but for YA and MG!

And for anyone else that might have a reverse harem story, please send my way. #MSWL

Heads up querying authors: please address your emails to me as "Claire" or "Mx. Draper" (if you really want to stick to a title address). I am nonbinary and don't love being addressed as "Miss Draper." Feels super antiquated and is also just incorrect. #amquerying #mswl

Floating a little wishlist item out to the universe, but I really want to see more kid-lit non-fiction in my inbox.

Young Adult and Middle Grade non-fiction, specifically. #MSWL

I’m so proud of the work @IamGMJohnson and @robin_stevenson are doing, and I’d love to see more.

Yes, this please. 100% would read. #mswl

What picture books stuck w you that explore death/grief? I’m interested in this topic as both a reader adding to my library and an editor building my #mswl. They definitely exist but can be harder to find (& there should be more!) Here’s a thread of some I love. Please add to it!

#MSWL

-Please send me anything that’ll make me laugh. I’d love to see a protagonist as dry and witty as Eleanor Oliphant or Flavia de Luce, or a dysfunctional family saga like Arrested Development.

-The Neverending Story by Michael Ende is my all-time favorite book.

-I’d love to see a new twist on Tom’s Midnight Garden.

-I read The Strange & Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender four years ago & have thought about it nearly every day since.

-If you have anything you could comp to Karen Thompson Walker, Ray Bradbury, Emma Donoghue, Helen Ellis, or Kate Milford, I need it.
