New year, new #MSWL!

I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

Hannah VanVels Ausbury is ready for RevPit 🪴🌙 @hannahvanvels

I am open to queries and would love to build my list in 2023.
🌟Query: QueryManager.com/HannahVanVels
🌟MSWL: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/hann…

First and foremost, I'm building an inclusive list with a variety of voices and genres. I'm looking for BIPOC authors, queer authors, neurodivergent authors, disabled authors, and generally, authors from historically excluded backgrounds. #MSWL

I love Romance, but I also love all the ways we mess up and/or complicate our lives CHASING it. Also, chasing monogamy is boring me rn. I’d love to see a QUEER BIPOC coming-of-age/women’s fiction abt a fun-loving, bighearted dyke whose quest for love leads to selfish chaos. #mswl

I’m just a dumb raging thot who wants an Girls Trip Adult novel for queer BIPOC whores who want to have a good time at the expense of their friendship (before reconciling, of course!) #mswl

#MSWL I had to return Leila La Brujita Perfecta to the library and now have a vacant hole for PB stories that bring on all the whimsy of Flavia Z. Drago's work.

If you're a BIPOC author/illustrator with a dummy or working on a dummy that can fill this, I want to hear from you!

Been watching POKER FACE and MURDER SHE WROTE and really feeling #MSWL BIPOC amateur investigating. Because, damn, we could use better representation in this space! Loved Jane Pek's THE VERIFIERS, for example.

#mswl — my goal for 2023 is to sign a suspense novel written by a BIPOC author. We need more of your books on shelves.

YA/NA #MSWL: although sci-fi is still tough, I always say things in publishing are tough but not impossible.

I’d love a BIPOC grounded sci-fi mystery/thriller that can be comp’d to DEVS/Tales From The Loop/The OA.

YA/NA #MSWL: I am looking for a horror from a BIPOC writer that can be comp’d to The Hacienda/Mexican Gothic/She Is a Haunting/Bad Witch Burning. And YA contemporary fantasies from BIPOC writers who are also interested in writing MG.

Early Reader #MSWL: If you’re a BIPOC author-illustrator with the start of a GN novel series like Narwhal and Jelly with the laugh out loud moments of Supertato PBs, I’d love to hear from you.
