I’m still looking for a feel good contemporary YA rom com with a big commercial hook featuring POC characters a la Jenny Han. It’s like the great white whale of my career. Someone send it to me now, please. #MSWL

"Fluffy YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities)." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I’ll be coming through queries this week and I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED a contemporary please. No rich kids, no white suburbia. Forget the standard girl-meets-boy.

I want the mother/daughter dynamic of EMERGENCY CONTACT. A black/POC Kara Thomas. A raunchier-voiced rom-com #mswl

Okay kiddies, stepping away for a bit but will be back. Keep 'em coming. Thanks for those who've reached out already & if you've got some POC genre-mashing sci-fi/fantasy YA or otherwise, that reads like funk or jazz, or another regional patiois...bring it! #MSWL #PitMad

#MSWL I'd like to state for the record that I am still looking for, and will always be looking for, diverse perspectives, authors, characters, cultures, and environments in manuscripts and books. This includes POC, LGBTQIA+, genderfluid, neurodiverse, and all the other categories

Watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy over the weekend. Would love to see adult epic fantasies featuring BIPOC characters written by BIPOC authors in my inbox. #MSWL

Dang it. I’ve watched so many forensic shows even when I find a new one it covers the same cases. 😔 Also: #mswl forensic-based crime/mystery/thriller! Would love one featuring a non-white protagonist!

Reminder that not all work by POC must be weighty, dramatic books. White authors got to write thousands of fluffy books and cash the checks. We shouldn't be appreciated only when it gets dark and horrible.

I so badly want these “fluffy” YA books by POC and LGBTQ+ writers. As much as I love angst and think “issue books” are super important, I also love ridiculously fun stories that make readers feel good about life (including their identities). #MSWL
