Seeking: manuscripts from POC, diverse authors, #LGBTQ, #OwnVoices, & all voices that have been silenced but NEED to be heard. I support you & want to share your stories with the world. Querying guidelines & wish list: theseymouragency.com/About-Us.html. #MSWL #WritingCommunity #amquerying

MIDDLE GRADE

- gentle contemporary romances about queer young people falling in love for the first time
- historical fiction highlighting overlooked events or individuals from marginalized groups
- contemporary novels about POC immigrants/second generation Americans

#MSWL

YOUNG ADULT

- high-concept, darkly comic modern fables with literary writing and crossover appeal like THE PISCES or GEEK LOVE
- eerie and atmospheric fantasies inspired by non-Western mythology
- sweet contemporary rom-coms about QPOC main characters

#MSWL

Are there any SFF stories/novels about a pandemic that mostly kills white people (e.g. the reverse of the one we're living now) & its effects on society? If not, & a BIPOC writer wants to write it for YA: #MSWL

During this whole time, I’ve been catching up on a ton of K-Drama and I. Am. Obsessed with opposites-attract such as CLoY, My Secret Romance, and Oh My Ghost. I’d love to see something like these featuring POC in my inbox bc I’m not letting go of these feels. #mswl

Romance

If a vampire comeback materializes, I’m just going to remind the world that this thread exists and is still on my #MSWL. Give me all the PoC vampires with messy family drama and historical traumas that won’t go away esp. since great-granny vamp is still salty about the Opium Wars

Agent friends! Please know that I would love to see more middle grade, young adult, and graphic novel projects from trans women and trans POC #mswl

I will say that if anyone wants to write and deliver the POC Alanna, I would be down for that. #MSWL #YoungYA

Tweeting this again because this is the thing I really want right now. #MSWL

i have SO many incredible queries in my inbox and i'm reading from my couch so keep 'em coming! some of my #MSWL : heartwarming YA w/ mixed-race families, gorgeous essay collections on queerness/sex/sexuality, and adult fic w/ a protagonist of color figuring out their early 20s

YES PLEASE (I even wrote a #MSWL tweet about this a while ago!)

I'm dying for some #OwnVoices #Diversity #POC #LGBTQ picture books!!! Paste your query and MS and send to querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. #MSWL #kidlit #amquerying

And a contemporary MG novel like this, featuring a boisterous & loving POC family, is an eternal #MSWL for me.

So much #mswl! poc and lgbtq+ individuals just being people and living life!

Where are my joyful stories featuring #POC characters? Diversity pls! Black, Latinx, Asian, Indian, Native American, etc. This term gets read over a lot in my #MSWL’s. For those who don’t know, POC refers to the term "person of color” & describes any person NOT considered white.

Where is my ya contemporary story of a black male gymnast’s rise to glory? #MSWL

Lastly, until I think of more, definitely send me MG STEM-infused plots and POC characters and boys who are allowed to feel/girls who are smart and capable and sassy. Truly looking for tons of GN in the MG sphere #amagenting #querytip

would also LOVE dark GN with creatures from lesser known legends/cultures

on that note, give me historical GN! Give me time periods in new places with new people and their part in that event. I'd love POC and how they affected certain wars/spy networks/etc. #amagenting #querytip

Saraciea is absolutely right, as usual, and to be clear: I am very much looking for Black Latinx voices across all the categories I represent! Please consider querying me if that’s you! (More about my list here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/laur…) #amquerying #MSWL
