I enthusiastically seek BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, disabled, neurodiverse, religious minority & otherwise underrepresented authors for my list & my goal is to publish books that prioritize making underrepped readers feel seen over making readers outside those groups comfortable
#MSWL 17/?

• Original, unforgettable characters with the potential to become universally beloved household names
• Expansive, unique & cinematic worlds—whether fantastical or a part of the real world that’s been underrepresented or that feels fresh through the creator’s eyes
#MSWL 7/?

Finally, I'm looking for trade length books in the Romantic Suspense, Historical Fiction, Amish, and Women's Fiction genres. These submissions should be agented, but if you're from a historically underrepresented group, my DMs are open for questions. #mswl 4/4

I'd love to see more submissions from authors from historically underrepresented groups for Love Inspired Suspense (bit.ly/3d03y0T). Thrust your hero and heroine into danger right away and keep the threat going. Bonus points for including strong women! #mswl 2/4

I’m on the hunt for: cozy and/or witty YA romcoms, grounded MG and YA fantasy, MG historical fiction from an underrepresented perspective, contemporary MG & YA graphic novels, really quirky nonfiction. In all categories I’m especially seeking projects by and about BIPOC. #MSWL

Historical that highlight underrepresented voices, and romances that go beyond the MC just wanting a love match are high on my wants list #MSWL

#MSWL - YA or MG paranormal: vampires, werewolves, oh my! Particularly interested in paranormal from underrepresented points of view and stories that bring something new to the genre. Related: contemp fantasy a la LEGENDBORN, a 2020 fav, too.

Last night I had a dream where I was raving over the phone to a random writer about the sci fi market and how historically marginalized groups are underrepresented in the genre but Andy Weir can write like the same book twice?

So anyway, send me your sci fi.

Please please help feed my obsession. I’m particularly interested in submissions from authors from underrepresented communities. #editorobsession #MSWL 2/2

I’m also still actively building my client list. Please see The Bent Agency’s website/MSWL for some updates on what I’m looking for. Right now I’m all about contemporary: YA, MG, and GN, especially from underrepresented communities. #MSWL

As promised, I'll be doing my top 10 #mswl requests to count down to the reopening of my query box at 1 AM EDT! To note, I'm looking to advocate and support authors from underrepresented communities. Their submissions (especially BIPOC and trans voices) will take priority.
