Thank you Megan. Here is a great article for anyone just starting to think of getting an agent. Also a reminder I need to update my #MSWL — still seeking women & BIPOC authors in nonfiction. #WritingCommunity

We’re looking for more Black Women’s Fiction. If you’ve been working on something we’d love to see it! Submit to our fiction portal.

#MSWL really hungry for some great #ya right now of either the #romance or #suspense #thriller variety. Also some great #POC #own stories in the romance or YA areas! Come see me!

I want a YA or Adult Rom-Com that is so cute, funny, and steamy. If yours includes an interracial relationship, I'll be your best friend! And when it comes to love stories, I am especially open to LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. #MSWL

I want single parent stories, whether mom or dad or grandparent, that could cover themes of grief, abandonment, acceptance, or community, but ones where the character arc starts and ends at home. AND, if it's BIPOC, I want them thriving, y'all! #MG #YA #MSWL

these are a few of my favorite things #MSWL📖 💫

Last but certainly not least for ALL QUERIES: send me your #OwnVoices stories esp if you identify as BIPOC. As a mixed raced #Latinx immigrant, I'm ❤️🔥 about representing under- or misrepresented voices. If you're comfortable, please include your background and inspiration.

I would LOVE an LGBTQ+ rom com where they just ARE. They love, they fight, they live.

Give me POC who don't have to justify themselves constantly. They can have their own plot and action and agency and not answer to others.

Paranormal? Give me non-US creatures/legends. I love mermaids, but creepy/dark over Disney. I'm not a huge werewolf fan, and I'm only looking at vamps at the moment if they're unique or an awesome POC perspective. Nothing even remotely Twilight, please!

Or, a book that later becomes a show or a movie. #JustSayin #MSWL in #MG or #YA or #A I'm not picky.

#MSWL Give me Space Western SFF, lawless new frontiers, Serendipity, Firefly-esque, but with African American space cowboys who mean business written by POC authors! Cinematic in scope, make me swoon, make me sit up, take notice, stay up all night reading! bit.ly/3lsXobY

I am forever enthralled by millennial novels with a crackling, fresh voice set in big cities featuring BIPOC characters grappling with life in various ways. Extra points if the novels are set in NY the outer boroughs.

I am a voracious fantasy reader. I’m looking for BIPOC fantasies in both, YA and crossover. Give me intrigue, emotional nuance and astounding character arcs. I have always made my home in this genre. Send me some!

And I’m still looking for that Latinx fantasy! #MSWL

Seriously, I love holiday movies. So delightful to have one for Black families. Give to me all the holiday BIPOC MG! All that whimsy and wonder and hope is my jam! #MSWL

#VampiresVsTheBronx is exactly the creative gentrification story I've been wanting T_T A middle grade GN #mswl of mine for the last 2/3 years has been a contemporary story following a POC character dealing with gentrification in the NYC neighborhood they grew up in.

Omg yes 👀 #mswl

100% same #mswl

And now, for funsies, lets get some #MSWL up in here! I'm super excited to be getting more queer subs but would be very happy to see more BIPOC in my inbox. In this spooky season I would particularly love to meet more "monsters" (scary or not so scary) from other cultures.

If you are a BIPOC or LGBTQ+ author, I want to see your stories. Give me your amazing words and diverse characters.

Lovecraft Country has me inspired! I’d love to see more Black fantasy novels! Give me your Afrofuturism! Your Black kids discovering time travel and new dimensions! (while leaving slavery out of it, please) #MSWL
