Nerd Girl Says @Rachael_Conrad
Would pay good money to read a book that is like Hell or High Water but with high fantasy elements. I want like rust bucket cars and big ass swords. Mermaids that look like they live in a swamp. Cowboys that are protecting their livestock from mountain trolls.#mswl vibes

How can we include speculative fiction in global lit conversations? How can sci-fi/fantasy publishers and prizes bring more global voices to readers? In an essay from the archives, @Rcordasmakes the case for speculative fiction in translation: https://buff.ly/47TAsKQ
Send me speculative fiction in translation!!! #MSWL

Since it's still January, time for an updated 2024 #MSWL ! I'm currently really on the lookout for psychological thriller (a la Riley Sager), mysteries (cozy and whodunnits please), and light horror (nothing too gory, I want to sleep at night). Dark academia a plus as well!

#amquerying authors: Anyone querying upmarket historical fiction with a crime/thriller element? Comping to Laura Shepherd-Robinson, C. S. Harris, or C. J. Sansom?
Make sure to include my colleague Stephanie Cabot @SLANYC on your list!

During the 1920s, Colombia's luxurious Hotel del Salto was a popular destination for wealthy individuals in the country.However, over time, it gained a dark reputation as a place where people went to end their own lives. ... twitter.com/Morbidful/status/1738628299436228734/photo/1
if any Latine authors are inspired by this … let me just say it’s top of my #mswl atm!

I have an idea for a truly ridiculous romantic comedy. twitter.com/franklinleonard/status/1737612286632882645I'm not otherwise actively seeking rom-coms, but if you're writing one specifically about pro soccer/football, I wanna see. #MSWL
