#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 shortI 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

Following up on my #MSWL thread, some books I've read in the past year (not my clients!) that I've really loved:
SEA OF RUST -- postapocalyptic robots at war (way cooler than that sounds). What happens after the robot apocalypse?

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.)

I want, like, a really beautiful classic-style fantasy with a quest in it. “You will see rare beasts and have unique adventures” (Auden). #MSWL

I unironically love this cliche so much that I suspect my books are going to contain increasingly extravagant balls, longer & more grandiose each time, until my fifth or sixth book just takes place in a court trapped in an eternal ball twitter.com/Freepaperclips…I...actually think a book set in an eternal masquerade ball would be great. Think Lady Pole trapped in the ball in Lost Hope. #mswl

I've had a manifesto building about why I do this agenting thing. Today's the day to share it. pic.twitter.com/Xq8iW5yAMCRe-upping for #MSWL. If your book fits in with this, I'm interested.

I want a medieval thriller. Like Sharon Kay Penman's THE QUEEN'S MAN. #MSWL

The OED @OED
The noun ‘wretch’, from Old English ‘wrecca’ (exile), is related to Old High German ‘reccho’ meaning ‘exile, adventurer, knight errant’.Please someone write me a book inspired by the idea of a wretch who is also a knight errant. #MSWL twitter.com/oed/status/804…

This whole tumblr is my #MSWL. thevaultoftheatomicspaceage.tumblr.com/post/152776543…P.S. If someone wants to write me SF with the otherworldly creepy beauty of FORBIDDEN PLANET but without the sexism, that'd be great. #MSWL

Basically I'm in the mood for some books that inculcate wonder and show luminous beauty. That's what I love about SFF! #MSWL

A first-colonization SF novel that captures the transcendent beauty and sadness of leaving Earth. INTERSTELLAR meets FORBIDDEN PLANET #MSWL

Whatever the next MISTS OF AVALON is -- beautiful, feminist, Arthurian, smart, instant classic. #MSWL
