I hope we'll see more Jewish second-world fantasy. Jewish culture is full of myths and magic that would be fresh and breathtaking in a fantasy setting.

If your YA could be described as "fluff" by "serious" non-YA readers, query me! #MSWL

If a reader thinks that your book is SF and a completely different reader is CONVINCED that it's LitFic, I want to see it #MSWL

Hello #MSWL followers! I am closed to queries through the end of the year, but I'm going to tweet a few things for when I reopen.

Follow along!

If you write dialogue like Joss Whedon, Rob Thomas, or Amy Sherman-Palladino, send it to me. #MSWL

@antimytheme @pronounced_ing My first Jane Austen Society convention as in a hotel across the street from an Edgar Allen Poe’s convention. I did wonder what a mixer of the two groups would have been like.

Everyone talks about the "Bury your gays" trope but what about "Dig up your gays"? Where are all the queer necromancers?

It turns out all I want is pastoral fantasy. Like if Tolkein wrote about the economy and family dynamics of the Shire for an entire series.

Actually, me too. #mswl

One week from today, I open back up to queries. I figured now would be a good time to go through my #MSWL!

Of course, the best books are sometimes the one you didn't know you needed! If your book is in my categories but doesn't match this #MSWL, query anyway!
