#MSWL:
MG Genres I’m looking for: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light/near-future sci-fi

YA: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light sci-fi, romcom

Adult: light SFF, upmarket, horror, romcom

Across the board (MG, YA, and adult), I’m drawn to:
-stories with a strong family element, whether that’s biological or found family
-protagonists who aren’t the best at whatever they do or The Chosen One, but who try really *really* hard, even when they screw up

#MSWL

Adult Rom-Coms. Something fun and funny would make me really ridiculously happy. #MSWL

15) Light Adult fantasy. Show that thinks don’t get less magical after childhood. Comps like Practical Magic, Garden Spells, and The Night Circus. #MSWL

Over all, I’d love to see more:
-high concept MG and YA
-commercial adult fiction
-#ownvoices stories
-MCs with strong, distinct voices
-comedy across the board
-stories that break my heart and then put it back together
#mswl

#MSWL A YA or Adult novel set in Renaissance Italy.

#MSWL I'm a major mythology nut, so I'd love re-imagined/re-interpreted myths from any culture, for either YA or Adult

Excited to jump on the #MSWL feed today. I'll tweet out some specifics, but what I'm looking for can be found here: ericadbauman.wordpress.com/mswl/

#MSWL eerie + haunting #YA and #A horror, and funny #MG horror (I REALLY like scary stories).

Extra awesome if your story is on my #MSWL and also: diverse, LGBTQ, gender swapped, or set in a non-European culture. #MG #YA #A

STEM, especially women in STEM fields. #MSWL #MG #YA #A

Vivid, dreamy #MR (especially if it involves food!) #MSWL #MG #YA #A

Would love some voice-driven, witty #A (like The Rosie Project or Where'd You Go, Bernadette). #MSWL #LF

I LOVE unconventional storytelling. Found footage, handbooks/guidebooks/textbooks, emails, tweets, etc. #MSWL #MG #YA #A

Would also love some #A historical mysteries, especially if it has a kickass detective like Phryne Fisher. #MSWL #HF #M

Continuing my obsession with The Mummy, would love #MG, #YA, or #A set on an archaeological dig (especially #HF)! #mswl
