Comments for The Official Manuscript Wish List Website https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com #MSWL: What do you wish you had in your inbox? Thu, 09 Nov 2017 13:17:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 Comment on Dark, Weird, and Powerful by NINA FORTMEYER https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/2017/11/dark-weird-and-powerful/#comment-147 Thu, 09 Nov 2017 13:17:24 +0000 https://www.manuscriptwishlist.com/?p=2083#comment-147 t took me a while to embrace and really own that I write weird quirky stuff, so I was glad to see your wish list. Are you only looking for YA and MG? The way it is listed, it isn’t clear to me. The tale I’m getting ready to query centers on a genuine young adult, not YA. If you’re open to adult, I’ll send it your way.

Thanks.

This. Post. How about a book about a white girl who travels to the most remote jungles of Mexico, alone, woefully unprepared, and with a head full of misperceptions and unconscious bias? With a mix of self-deprecating humor, personal exploration and deep research, she (me) explores Chiapas, the palatial Mayan ruins of Palenque, and the Zapatista Movement, confronting her own unconscious prejudices with every step she takes, encouraging us all to do the same. Ignorant about the processes, I self-published and I’ve gotten great reviews, but I know with a talented editor, I could take this book from good to great and get a much needed message out in the platform of a funny, exciting read.

I think the same way! I am a huge fan of Insecure and I wanted to create a dramatic fantasy world with my own life as a template. So for me, diversity goes beyond race. It includes sexual orientation and beliefs. I conceived this magical world with a set of diverse characters with very human weaknesses despite all of their power. My research as an anthropologist opened me to the fact that magic is just as diverse as people. Be it Wicca, Voodoo, or Druidism, people practice different things. I have found that diversity is also a subjective matter and agents and editors look for their ideas of what diversity is to them. If there is “too much” diversity it is a turn off. But that is the way of this world. Diversity is in abundance! And I make no apologies about my morally corrupt gay alchemist and flirtatious transgender witch. LOL
