Updating my pinned Tweet! Take a look at my #MSWL if you are querying Adult or YA SFF.

At our agency, we are passionate about underrepresented writers. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to break into the industry!

Today's #MSWL feature is none other than our very own @LaurenBittrich. Lauren represents psychological thrillers, voicey memoirs, and essay collections, and select YA with a focus on underrepresented voices. To query Lauren, use the link above!

#MSWL #amquerying #literaryagent

I am pro-short story collections that are thematic of region/place & immerses a reader into an underrepresented community in our literary ecosystem (see: Maxine Clair, Bryan Washington, Kali Fajardo-Anstine) (7/8)

Querying authors, I’m pumped to share that I’ll be open to queries from February 15-April 15! I’m looking for YA and MG in all genres. Bring on all the plot twists, vibes, beautiful writing, and underrepresented voices! #MSWL

I think I haven't mentioned what I'm looking for in a while: thrillers for adults and romance/rom-com for adults that have fresh hooks. Upmarket fiction from underrepresented perspectives. I am not open to expanding my children's list at the moment. #MSWL

And to help #amquerying writers, here's some of my #mswl in a thread.

ALWAYS looking to partner with and support writers of color, writers who live with disabilities (me too!), neurodiverse writers, and otherwise underserved and underrepresented authors in #YA and #MG.

In ALL formats, I'm excited by:
🌟Original, unforgettable characters w/ potential to become beloved household names
🌟Expansive, unique, cinematic worlds—whether imagined or a part of the real world that’s underrepresented and/or feels fresh through the creator’s eyes #MSWL

#GN horror, contemporary, HF, retelling, mythology
#CB/early readers anything goes for fiction. For NF STEM, Bios of little know historical figures

I love books that show all the brilliant colors of my community 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ and underrepresented voices

#queries #MSWL

Hello #writingcommunity. @jmcgowanbks isnt the last agent to tell you about their #MSWL. I aspire to his level. 1. QueryManager link: QueryManager.com/rpina.
In 2022, I'm focusing on building my #Adultfiction, #YA, & #MG lists with a majority of underrepresented voices.

historical fiction: female-led historical fiction from underrepresented and/or lesser explored times and/or places in history, especially stories from authentic voices

* Positive female friendships—Give me girls supporting girls. Girls teaming up for the greater good. Girls who love their friends with their whole hearts.
* Underrepresented voices
* Fresh takes on fantasy
* Stories with a speculative twist
...

Happy Thursday! Here's your BookEnds #MSWL for today: "She tends to gravitate toward contemporary fiction more than historical, unless the story focuses on underrepresented events or perspectives in history." @RachMBrooks

I’m drawn to stories that examine social issues in unique ways, and voices that have been historically underrepresented in publishing 3/

It’s that time of year when fall submissions start flying, so here’s a little #MSWL thread! Big picture, I’m acquiring MG and YA novels and graphic novels in all genres and am always looking for more underrepresented voices in all categories.

All-Age Category #MSWL wants
☑️ BIPOC
☑️ Queer/Trans
☑️ ND
☑️ Disability
☑️ Religions & spiritual beliefs that are underrepresented in publishing
☑️ Intersectionality

Basically: The world we live in is diverse. Books written for kids in the 21st century should reflect that.
