That said, I'm also always up for a fantasy novel that uses violence to say something serious, like THE POPPY WAR or THE MIRROR EMPIRE. #MSWL

Lush, gorgeous 90s-style fantasy. Think bright colors, elves or magic, sexy feminist sisterhoods. Fun and escapist fantasy. Neon worlds. #MSWL

Friends, I'm open to queries as of now. (With the help of the wonderful @laurenbanka.) Adult SFF queries only. Email query letter only to queryHannah [at] LizaDawson [dot] com. I'll share some #MSWL thoughts later today…

Anyway coming from today’s discussion of old favorites: please send me more fun young-woman epic fantasy with beautiful dresses, high stakes, and some enemies-to-lovers, thank you. #mswl twitter.com/hannahnpbowman…

Do they end up CARING FOR EACH OTHER’S INJURIES in a TENT during a WAR until TRUST DEVELOPS and SEXUAL TENSION?? Is he shocked to see her in a DRESS not just MUDDY BREECHES after the battle is won? It is my kind of happy epic fantasy. (And I’m in the mood for that!) #mswl

Is it too early to declare 2019 the Year of Sprawling Science Fantasy Novels That Giddily Give Zero Fucks for Genre Rules?

No, it is not. pic.twitter.com/cK60j1YP8G

PLEASE SEND ME THE NEXT DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN. #MSWL

@hannahnpbowman @maxgladstone don't forget how centaurs and merfolk aren't classified as people and everyone's like oh that's fine

Re: this thread, if someone wants to write me a fantasy novel about a kid who goes to magic school but realizes the entire structure of the magical world needs to be overthrown, I would be 100% there for that. Bonus points if they have to side with the dark wizards to do it #MSWL

#MSWL fantasy w/ a translator protag. There's so much power in language-- how they translate for a ruler effects a whole kingdom, eg. I want to see the nuances & consequences of deciding how & what to translate, word play between languages, times when translation falls short

I would 100% love this. Also: messenger protagonist in a military fantasy setting. The folks who ride all night to bring the warnings of disaster. #MSWL

There's been a request for a #MSWL now that I'm re-opening to queries. So, a thread on what I most want to see. (This is NOT EXHAUSTIVE! I'm open to all kinds of adult SFF.)
