Current #MSWL wishlist:
❤️ YA/Adult Rom Com— high concept and swoony
✨ Magical stories with fun, pacey plots - MG/YA/Adult
If your project doesn’t fall under these two categories but it is still uplifting and joyful, I’d love to see it!

Cults of personality.Historically & in fiction, villains who amass power via charisma, mass manipulation, & curated public personae are male. Non-male villains usually use psychological/emotional power on individuals (e.g. femmes fatales). I want this trope genderswapped!

Send me your female manipulators, your lady cult leaders, your femme masters of deception and villainy. #mswl

Stranger Things and End of the F***ing World both had itAn unsettling background tone, as if whatever messed up stuff is happening was bound to, because middle class suburban life is a fantasy built on quicksand, or a featureless new build with murderous ghosts in the walls

@Gabino_Iglesias Upmarket, smart, high stakes that go beyond “don’t die.” Get Out, Parasite are good movie comps, Lauren Beukes is a good book comp even though I know she’s not strictly horror, also Anita Ahlborn and Joe Hill. Honestly I just want something that grabs me and has something to SAY#mswl: the horror & twisted spec fic I want to see in 2020
