I love to see more #ownvoices Nonfiction . Please Query me. #MSWL @MetamorphLitAg #WritingCommnunity

I'd love to find magical realism/ historical fantasy along the lines of Isabel Allende's Daughter of Fortune, or Gabriel Garcia Marquez. #MSWL

Speaking of which, if anyone sends me a YA that feels like HBO's GENTLEMAN JACK, it's possible I'll die of happiness #MSWLAlso, as Stephanie says: yes, send this to me, please & thank you. #mswl

AND Magical Realism! Or stories that only have a touch of magic. #MSWL

I want more Gothic books! All types! Southern, Horror, Modern, Romance, etc. #MSWL

I play trivia almost every Tuesday evening. 🤓 I'd love some narrative NF or info-fic with a spunky MC who gets excited about facts! #MSWL

It may seem like I only like really dark stuff, but my favorite kind of horror is ultimately hopeful. I want to see people face their fears and win. Make impossible choices and survive. Rescue each other and rescue themselves. #MSWL

Please....if a POC #ownvoices author even writes a Mission Impossible-esqe heist novel involving people breaking into the British Museum to recover their stolen treasure, I will help you write a query letter and blurb your book and push it into people's hands.Not my usual genre, but how cool would this be? A Robin Hoodesque reclaiming of works from colonial powers #mswl twitter.com/SAChakrabooks/…

In adult, I am particularly looking for SFF! I'm currently excited about fun voicey space books, epic fantasy set in original and well-defined worlds, and fantasy that turns a familiar trope on its head. #mswl

I acquire YA nonfiction on proposal: overview, chapter description/outline, sample chapter. #mswl #ManuscriptWishList

In all my #MSWL, I haven't said epic fantasy. I love fantasy, but guys, make feel new. I hang in the space as a reader not just as an agent, so to hook me, you're gonna have to know the literary legacies and the tropes and how to break them.

And--of course--I always want the things that I couldn't even imagine myself. Surprise me! Be inventive! Be yourself! Speak with the voice that no one has but you. #MSWL

Also, I would love more graphic novels on my list! For practically any age, really. #MSWL

I am craving some gorgeously weird YA fantasy as well! Particularly something contemporary-ish. #mswl

In SFF, I love a kickass heroine doing kickass things. I want to see a diverse group of people (in a multicultural/gender/sexuality sense) coming together to fight whatever BIG BAD there is. While High Fantasy isn't a good fit, pretty much everything else is.

I know summer is over (sob!) but I'm still looking for that summer vacation love story. It could take place at the beach or lake or in an exotic city, but I want something where there are real stakes involved with what happens when summer ends. (YA/Adult)

I'd also love to see some #Caribbean/#Latinx post-Hurricane Irma/Maria stories, stories that tackle the issues head-on but in a hopeful way, with a romance or personal growth for the main characters. Also YA or Adult.
