Okay, so about 70 percent of the editors at this speed meeting event want magical realism. ME TOO. Where is it?? #MSWL

Magical realism in the vein of HANCOCK and AMERICAN HERO. #LiterarySuperheroes #MSWL

I would love to find a lush, magical YA contemporary fantasy with a unique female MC. It's going to be on my permanent #MSWL, I suspect.
Literary Agent
I really don't have enough magic or magical realism on my list right now. MG or YA. But I don't want witchy-magic. #MSWL

WF with suspense or mystery elements and fast pacing. Bonus points for sister stories, magical realism, and literary themes. #mswl

#MSWL hauntingly written fantasy/magical realism like @thatlauraruby and @lainitaylor

Magical realism is great, but I prefer mine to be much more realistic than magical. #MSWL

Would be interested in seeing MG fantasy/magical realism that focuses on a really tight-knit group of friends: think The Thief Lord #MSWL

I love magical realism, especially with lush, visceral writing. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Hey, it's #MSWL day! Send me dark speculative fiction/literary prose with surreal or magical elements/a twisted society, rooted in reality.

I'd love to find a YA take on the "magic baking" trope. See: THE PARTICULAR SADNESS OF LEMON CAKE or MAGIC BITTER, MAGIC SWEET #MSWLAnd finally, a few #MSWL items I've tweeted before and still REALLY want. Note that I'll take this in MG or YA!

YA/MG fantasy where the magic is essential to the story. Can be beautiful, arcane, messy, inconvenient, whatever, but feels integral. #MSWL

I reopen to queries Oct 1. I want to see epic and secondworld fantasy and all types of SF. #MSWLWithin fantasy, I'd love a beautiful world with beautiful magic. But I also tend toward books that explore the cost of violence. #MSWL
