I’d read this! With a spin for genre fiction too, and/or YA! #mswltwitter.com/ellethevillain…
Aladdin-inspired/Aladdin retellings are on my #mswl. I’d love to find some! 😍

Wait, I thought I was done, but then my #AuditoryMSWL decided to play some songs.
15. I said it once but I will say it again: TSwift's LOOK WHAT YOU MADE is COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO soooo I would love a gender bent retelling of that. #MSWL

11. I love retellings. So hit me with those, but tell me the ones that are not told that often. And show me something new in your retelling. #MSWL

"Dark, feminist fairy tale retelling. Something like The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter for #YA (a novel though, not short stories)." @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

These books also date as far back as the 1970s. So clearly the fairytale thing is a perennial fave. Reports of it being “over saturated” might be overblown.So if you’re a writer of color with an Adult retelling of a fairytale or kids’ fable (including non-European stories) send it to me. #MSWL
Literary Agent
Please please send me an alternative history re-telling, particularly with a sort of fantastical twist. #MSWL

It's only been forever and a day but I finally updated my #MSWL profile! Now including select genres of narrative non-fiction — and basically send me all your queer fiction or creepy, lyrical middle grade books! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/moe-…
