And, of course, I am always looking for stories featuring disability, mental illness, LGBTQ, POC, #ownvoices, different cultures, different religions...INCLUSIVE. #MSWL

I'm open to vampires! You've just got to give me something different, unique, with a wonderful plot or setting. Still thinking there's so much we can do with New Orleans POC vamps or vamps in island regions.

Also would love vamps with the humor of What We Do In The Shadows #MSWL

Hell yes if those historicals are feminist, LGBTQ+, POC. Definitely interested in non-American and non-UK settings. #MSWL

A high-concept, adorable and swoony YA romance, especially featuring POC characters #mswl

Looking for BIPOC and white LGBTQ+ contemporary and fantasy authors with strong hooks in the query and an uplifting vibe. YA and MG alike. Graphic novels too, please! #MSWL

SAME #mswl

Currently acquiring: Regency, Victorian, and Highlander historical romances full of humor, heart, and heat. I would love to see a diverse cast that includes POC, preferably #ownvoices, set in one of these time periods. #MSWL entangledpublishing.submittable.com/submit/ ATTN: Heather

Yes please!! #MSWL

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

On the lookout for the next Tiffany Jackson, Courtney Summers (circa SADIE), and Kara Thomas. Again: queer, kids of color, dark tone, twisty. Can be funny, weird! #mswl

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

Always HIGH on my #mswl priority: YA; queer friends of color from the hood, or lower-middle class a la failed NY industry. Full of heart, promise, and school skipping hijinks to idk attempt to skate the Statue of Liberty. Fast talking, no-nonsense kids w/a tight bond. Funny!

First on my #mswl: I want an f/f YA contemporary centering a black girl or girl of color who isn't confused about anything other than How To Get The Girl. A 2015-now voice.

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.
