#MSWL Today, I found myself driving along the original Trail of Tears. As a person of Cherokee descent, I would love to see a #YA (maybe #MG) centered on the Trail of Tears. #POC Any stories built from oral tradition? #NativeAmerican

I'd like to see a novel that tackles the issue of #autism and police interaction, particularly for a POC on the spectrum, as discussed in this article by @hollyrpeete: huffingtonpost.com/entry/autism-a… #autismmom #MSWL #YA #WF

Trust Black Women and Paid Them Damnit @CreatyveBooks
Dear YA,Stop saying certain genres are dead. I'm still waiting for my Black Witches. My Black shapeshifters, vampires, fairies, demon slayers. Hell I'm still waiting for my Black Love story. Also fluffy carefree fat girls.
There's a demand so make it happen
Been putting this on my #mswl for two years. Also include all other PoC and send my way!

But some things I want to stress: maor science fiction. Optimistic, fun science fiction for adult and YA readers #MSWLKooky space adventures = good. Things where POC/QPOC exist in the future = better. All that + The Fifth Element = BEST #MSWL

@LisaAbellera How do you feel about Leverage in space? Are spaceships a hard pass?Leverage in space! Absolutely send it my way-especially if it has POC/diverse/LGBTQ+ characters! #mswl

I'm currently closed to queries, but my #MSWL as always is SF/F/Horror with unique perspective/hook. LGBT/POC/female-driven a plus, always.
Editor
As always, I would love any of my #MSWL items to have POC protags whether Asian, Middle Eastern, African, Caribbean, Latinx, Native, etc...

My #1 #MSWL item right now: #ownvoices chapter book/young MG series featuring POC protagonist, illustrated or with room for illustrations.

Unreliable, awkward, unnerving, inappropriately funny, charmingly disturbing, a misfit, a #YA Tom Ripley, an #POC weirdo. #mswl #ownvoices

POC wizard MC in a public wizarding school. #MSWL

You can do it, new writers of color! We look forward to reading YOUR manuscript in the #NewVisionsAward soon. leeandlow.com/writers-illust…On my particular #MSWL for #NewVisionsAward is a fictional MG realism starring a POC w/same sweet spirit as @haleshannon's REAL FRIENDS.

ICYMI, I tweeted last night about #betterAltUSHistory. All of those ideas are #MSWL, too, esp. written by POC/Native writers.

#MSWL Space opera featuring female POC MC with an all-female crew. Even better if they're bounty hunters, space... fb.me/1bAOFIRO2

POC cowboys! Fantasy (epic/dark/historical) or space opera. #MSWL

Would love to see narrative fiction in #YARom w/ #POC MC or #Queer MC in epistolary format. Think @rainbowrowell’s ATTACHMENTS in YA. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Would also love to see more Romantic Suspense or Historical Romance featuring POC and/or LGBTQIA MC. #MSWL

Would love to see more strong, erotic romance in my #querypile featuring POC by POC. #MSWL #ownvoices
