Saba Sulaiman @agentsaba

honestly, i want to read books about unabashedly non-alpha males that rise to the occasion in high stakes situations and it being perfectly feasible, kind of like legally blonde but for soft dads with secret pockets for a machete in their baby carriers. #mswl

Replying to @agentsaba

OMG YES!!! Would love this with featuring a POC protag too! #MSWL

#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!

I have a hard time telling a good fit for me from a pitch anyway, so check out sub guidelines #DVpit leeandlow.com/writers-illust…

Replying to @stacylwhitman

What I'm looking for: MG/YA novels & graphic novels starring POC. Check out any #MSWL tweets from me & sub guidelines for more info. #DVpit

Diana M. Pho @writersyndrome

But some things I want to stress: maor science fiction. Optimistic, fun science fiction for adult and YA readers #MSWL

Replying to @writersyndrome

Kooky 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?

Replying to @LianaBrooks

Leverage in space! Absolutely send it my way-especially if it has POC/diverse/LGBTQ+ characters! #mswl

· 12 Sep 2017

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.

· 12 Sep 2017

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.

· 30 Aug 2017

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

Tu Books @tubooks

You can do it, new writers of color! We look forward to reading YOUR manuscript in the #NewVisionsAward soon. leeandlow.com/writers-illust…

Replying to @tubooks

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

· 8 Jun 2017

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

· 10 May 2017

Would love to see narrative fiction in #YARom w/ #POC MC or #Queer MC in epistolary format. Think @rainbowrowell’s ATTACHMENTS in YA. #MSWL

· 27 Apr 2017

Would also love to see more Romantic Suspense or Historical Romance featuring POC and/or LGBTQIA MC. #MSWL
