Still, always, forever dying for the one true magical school book of my heart. I would especially love to hear more from marginalized voices and POC authors on this subject. #MSWL

Crime fiction from voices we haven't heard enough of: POC, LGBTQ, indigenous, disabled #MSWL

#MSWL: A modern day A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (one of my favorite books!) with a POC protagonist

Oh, and I have a soft spot for Southern Gothic. Especially from/about POC. And I don’t mean just tossing a side character who practices hoodoo/voodoo into a mostly white story. *side eyes Hollywood* #MSWL YA/MG

An upmarket novel featuring a black girl band (or other poc band) or singer, rapper, etc. think ON THE COME UP, but for adults. #MSWL

For Young Adult, my biggest #MSWL is fun, lighthearted novels by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. I see so many submissions for issues-based stories—which we need, don't get me wrong—but I want to put a little more joy into the lives of teen readers who already deal with so much shit.

Would also love an upmarket workplace novel with poc characters set in a large city (New York! Chicago! Miami! etc.) #MSWL

I've been dying for a creepy, atmospheric contemporary southern gothic with poc characters. #MSWL so hard y'all!

Agents, a #MSWL for a nonfiction graphic novel: biography or just general nonfiction covering the indigenous and POC climate and environmental activists risking their lives (and sometimes losing them) around the world as they work against corporate interests.

Just watched The Sorcerer's Apprentice and would really love a descendant of Merlin story with a BIPOC female protagonist. #MSWL

#mswl queer poc teen friend groups

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

#MSWL I really want to see nonfiction popular science book proposals by authors from underrepresented groups in my inbox!

Yes! Would love this as mystery, thriller, or SFF-with POC and LGBTQ characters. #mswl

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

hello yes thank you. still waiting for my YA banshee novel but will also take all of the below. #MSWL

In general though, any POC authors take on vampires, werewolves, sirens, witches, and any manner of myth/supernatural is always #MSWL for me

This is my evergreen #MSWL

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
