I love a closed-system story: think submarine or generation ship. How do you survive and navigate conflicts when there's no escape? #MSWL

I'm a sucker for a great first-contact SF with really interesting aliens and the real sense of discovery of a new world—but with a real understanding of the conflicts of colonialism. THE SPARROW is the goal here. #MSWL

Solar system or galaxy-spanning space opera. (NO humanoid aliens though!) Big story, big scale, big worldbuilding. Lotsa spaceships. #MSWL

OK, time for the fun part of being open to queries again: #MSWL. Here's some specific things I'd love to find. (This isn't everything though! I'm open to anything great that's adult SFF.)A big-idea philosophical abolitionist SF. Think THE DISPOSSESSED. Show me a world where how we address violence and harm is totally different, and what stories that engenders. (I really, really want this, but it really, really, no kidding, has to be great to work.) #MSWL

Friends, I'm open to queries as of now. (With the help of the wonderful @laurenbanka.) Adult SFF queries only. Email query letter only to queryHannah [at] LizaDawson [dot] com. I'll share some #MSWL thoughts later today…

There's been a request for a #MSWL now that I'm re-opening to queries. So, a thread on what I most want to see. (This is NOT EXHAUSTIVE! I'm open to all kinds of adult SFF.)
