- Mysteries and thrillers that are mysterious and/or thrilling from the first chapter. You can have set-up, but the tone should clearly convey what genre I'm reading.
- Adventures like Pax and Wolf Called Wander
- Clean, tight writing styles. I'm a minimalist by nature.

Hearing news about archeologists getting closer to finding Cleopatras tomb is making me hungry for more Egyptian based retellings or even YA adventure manuscripts. #mswl

Listen I know fantasy loves its mages, assassins, warrior princesses, and knights but please give me more scholars, shamans, mapmakers, artisans, and bards - I would love to see more creatives having adventures in SFF! #MSWL

#MSWL In MG in particular, I'd love to see more urban fantasy adventures like Percy Jackson featuring casts of really loveable characters in really epic situations.
Upper MG, YA crossover, and YA like LEGENDBORN is definitely welcome too!

#MSWL I'd love a non-Western✨ vampire ✨book.
MG, YA, & Adult all welcome.
For MG: likely adventure/fantasy based w/magic and/or non-Western mythology.
For the rest: fantasy set in a non-Western world w/sharp stakes & a romance.
Could be 1st or 2nd world fantasy.

Just updated my #MSWL for anyone who wants to take a gander. Still looking for the next fantasy or sci-fi MS that pushes my buttons. I like a little darkness, a harrowing adventure. Also always looking for NF in a bunch of categories.
