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

I read a lot of popular science books.Authorship of science nonfiction has a serious diversity problem.
Are you a woman and/or POC and/or LGBTQIA+ individual who loves STEM?
WRITE A BOOK. DO IT. PLEASE.
I will do my best to keep up with reviewing and sharing them! 📚🔬
#MSWL I really want to see nonfiction popular science book proposals by authors from underrepresented groups in my inbox!

I need a whole series about this rich girl and her bodyguard. twitter.com/fearowe/status…Yes! Would love this as mystery, thriller, or SFF-with POC and LGBTQ characters. #mswl

I wrote about the co-optation of Hot Girl Summer. "If you don’t support Black women, give them access, and make them feel seen in the products you’re peddling, then you shouldn’t adopt their intraracial phrases to line your pockets." bitchmedia.org/article/brands…Which is why in my previous call for women's fiction or romance manuscripts that are inspired by Hot Girl Summer, I specifically asked to see work by Black women writers.👇🏽 #MSWL

#mswl #mood In the mood 4 a SFF mystery written by a poc or lgbtq+ author(or both) that conjures Baldwin, Carey & Gaiman, includes kaiju & swords & has a Crichton/Aeryn Sun &/or 500 Days of Summer-esque romantic subplot as well.
😁😂😁😂 Can that even be a mood? Lmao

In general though, any POC authors take on vampires, werewolves, sirens, witches, and any manner of myth/supernatural is always #MSWL for mehello yes thank you. still waiting for my YA banshee novel but will also take all of the below. #MSWL

I hope that the biggest takeaway from yesterday in Romancelandia is that romance readers are clearly well-versed in the diversity of the Regency, are excited to see more of it, and trad pubs should be acquiring diverse historicals written by POC/marginalized authors.This is my evergreen #MSWL

Happy Monday, everyone! Today is brought to you by the letter "M" so I figured, why not do some #MSWL! (See, what I did there? Yeah, no one ever said I was cool.)So, if you have a MS that matches something I'm looking for, please query me! I'd love to see it in my inbox.
When it comes to literary, I actively search for #ownvoices works, but especially those from the POC, immigrant, and LGBTQ+ communities. I'm not really looking for Americana stories right now. Nothing wrong with being the next John Steinbeck, it just wouldn't be for me. #mswl

And on that thought, I definitely want to see more diverse Regency, Gregorian, and Victorian YA in my inbox. I took three different Jane Austen classes in college--I have a mighty need #mswl
Kat Enright @katenright · Jun 17
Please send me your romance! Especially if it's diverse. I'd love to see more queer love stories in my inbox, as well as stories where POC get their happy endings! I don't care if it's contemporary, historical, or paranormal.
QUEER and/or POC people DESERVE LOVE TOO! #MSWL
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Jun 13
I’m looking for a contemporary romance (single title length) or a rom-com that’s #ownvoices, #diverse, #poc, and/or #lgbtq. #mswl #amquerying #writingcommunity

"Not only does he want folks to know, that rosé is not just for the white consumer, which brands predominantly market towards, but he wants to let it be known that sipping rosé is not exclusively a summertime activity."THE CONTENT I LIVE FOR 🍷💕 #roséallday twitter.com/soulphoodie/st…
Okay I really want like a wine book written by a poc now. #mswl I’ve read like so many wine books. They’re always so damn white.
Ben Grange is Closed to Queries @BLGrange · Jun 8
I'm closed to queries right now but making an exception. My current #MSWL is purely graphic novels. Author, artist, or both, send me your work. Would love to see POC & LGBTQ creators especially. ❤️
Just finished watching #AlwaysBeMyMaybe on Netflix and I just need to say:
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC
We need more romcoms featuring POC

Would love a thriller written by a POC or featuring POC characters #MSWL
samantha🌻 @samanthashnh · May 27
Would love a rom com featuring POC characters and how their families tie into it all. I want them defying stereotypes, but loving, respecting, and owning their culture. #MSWL
