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

YES!!! 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

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."

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.

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

#mswl - amazing stories about what human, animal or plant bodies can do (e.g. more like on a cellular/biology level, not biographies); NF books about scientific discoveries made by LGBTQIA+, BIPOC or neurodiverse people; a how-to book for teens about divestment and eco-activism;

Would love a thriller written by a POC or featuring POC characters #MSWL

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

Writers! We want #queerlit #picturebooks #MG & #YA, #RVA & #VAhistory, & powerful #memoirs, especially from #women, #POC, & other minorities. #MSWL #smallpress brandylanepublishers.com/wp/author-subm…

ALSO, YA, you need more trans f/f. Especially in contemp. And you reallllly need more trans girls of color. I don't know if PET is the first, but...I don't know if PET is not the first.

Another big #MSWL

Ayana Gray @AyanaGray

Honestly:

1) This is a MOOD.

2) I really want a YA fantasy with girls of color training to be badasses inspired by this.

TLDR: I WILL ALWAYS STAN GIRLS WITH WEAPONS. #BlackGirlMagic #amwriting pic.twitter.com/4kPrupWTwa

Omg #mswl

Anna Davidson @magic_robins

Apparently no one wants any more vampires and werewolves but like I want more. I want queer vamps/wolves, POC ones, queer POC ones, trans/non-binary ones.

You're not sick of vamps/wolves, you're sick of seeing the same ones over and over again. There's a diff. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Want #MSWL

· 3 May 2019

In a poem, @Danez_Smif said, "there are no amber alerts for the amber-skinned girls." And now, I desperately need a badass thriller/suspense with POC about this. #MSWL

· 1 May 2019

2. In #YA #SFF I'd like to see ensemble pieces with diverse representation. #LGBTQ & #POC in particular. Want to see comps like FOUR DEAD QUEENS/EMBER IN THE ASHES/RED QUEEN /Lunar Chronicles #MSWL

“Romantic comedies take our primal hunger to connect with one another and give it a story. And at their best, they do much more: They make you believe in the power of communion.”—
Wesley Morris’s excellent rumination on a criminally undervalued genre. nyti.ms/2W2sQl3

Now that we as a nation have accepted that romcoms are amazing, I'm putting out a call: Agents, please send me all the fantastic YA novel or graphic novel romcoms you have! Especially keen for projects from LGBTQIA/POC creators 💫💫💫 #MSWL #YA #GN

chatting panels w/the brilliant @CarolinePerny and it occurs to me I crave a WOC take on the basic Hulk trope that plays with how complicated it is to be angry as a WOC, especially a BWOC. that gives permission for fury & recognizes that yeah, you're always fucking angry. #MSWL

Finally made a #MSWL page 🎉 Check out all the many wonderful things I would love to see on submission here: bit.ly/2GlqYhZ

#MSWL LATINX VAMPIRES! (would be great if the author used latinx cultural connection to death as an element of the story). #POC.
