I love retellings, but I believe that 1) they shouldn’t be too precious with the original, but bring something new to the telling, and 2) need to stand on their own. I’d also really love to see a retelling with an unexpected genre mashup, like mythology x sci-fi, or Peter Pan x horror (😍) #MSWL

🎵It’s TIIIIIIIME! 🎶
I saw a lot of incredible queries in 2024, and my experiment of opening my inbox one week a month worked out well. I was able to stay on top of my inbox and meet my personal goal of getting my response times waaaaaay down. That said, I’m still going through Sept-Dec queries…

#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

I love near-future sci-fi like Ex Machina and Looper. #mswl

#MSWL non-Western culture inspired fantasy or sci-fi.

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 Would love #YA #SFF or #CON retellings of classic lit, that put a new angle on old favorites.
