I was just told by someone in my life that no one cares about reading d/Deaf or HoH own voices stories, and that I'm "barking up the wrong tree."Maybe he was right, but I've never in my life been more motivated to prove anyone wrong.
Massive respect for the Deaf and HoH community! My college ASL Classes and time spent in the local community was an incredibly welcoming experience and I’d love to be a part of uplifting these stories. #MSWL

Do you write #HistoricalRomance ? Find out what the @HarlequinBooks Historical editors are looking for! bit.ly/2S96kX0There's a lot of overlap here with my own historical romance #mswl. I have been begging for what feels like forever for a Regency centered on South Asian protags. And a 1950s historical romance? *swoons*

Since my call for poisoned pastry shop stories has let to fantastic results, another #MSWL: please send me your adult/YA/crossover books starring a grownup Kristy Thomas from The Babysitters Club. You know, bossy, badass, wears baseball tees, detail-oriented, clearly queer...

I also love authors who play in Lovecraft’s pool! Send me your cosmic horror, especially if you have a twist on it ol’ HP would hate! (I’m looking at you women and #ownvoices authors!) #mswl
Literary Agent
I also love a good cross-genre read! SF horror, historical horror, historical thriller...#mswl

For historical fiction, I want a story I haven’t seen a million times. I recently read and adored @KYBookWoman’s Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - something like this! Pack horse librarians AND blue people of KY. I’d never seen these stories! #mswl

I am in the mood for an epic fantasy, but something that stands out! Not a rehash of the usual stuff! #mswl
Literary Agent
Send me your haunted house books and ghost stories, but I want to see a unique spin! #mswl

I would LOVE a private investigator series! #mswl

First and foremost, #ownvoices! I rep YA and adult: horror, SFF, thrillers/mysteries (not cozies), historical, and general fiction. Also COOKBOOKS! #mswl
Literary Agent
#queryingauthors I am (and I know I’m gonna get it for this) AGGRESSIVELY building my list. Let’s do some #mswl posts!

A dreary Thursday afternoon feels like the perfect time to share some of my recent anti #MSWL preferences, so here I go! Currently NOT looking for projects that feature the following themes:
tech/robots
sports
religion
dance
time travel
verse

My #MSWL is pretty up to date except to say that I’m opening up to graphic novels (author/illustrators)
And I’d very much love a gay “Bring it On” type book where rival cheerleaders hook up (and aren’t the cliche mean cheerleaders) cheering is hard af - show me that ❤️

In Pinto Smauto (G.Basile 1636), Betta refuses to marry any man. She moulds a husband with her own hands and he comes to life. Alas, a queen steals him from her. After many troubles, Betta finds the stolen husband, tricks the queen and goes back home with him.#FolkloreThursday pic.twitter.com/0dE6nWQrtT
I would like to see a book based off of this! I feel like there’s so much room to play! #MSWL

I have some #MSWL asks floating that I'd love to see:For young adult:
M. T. Anderson's Feed for the post-Instagram, post-TikTok generation
a YA version of The Wire (but with more funny bits and maybe an explosion or two).
a modern queer version of Ten Things I Hate about You

Instead of cooking/baking show rom-coms, can we get a mukbang rivals rom-com? #mswl
