Writers, send me your high concept romcoms! #mswl

I’d love to see more historical fiction featuring characters from traditionally marginalized communities. #mswl

Lauren's book is ON SHELVES! @laurenspieller

I'm closing to queries on 8/1/18, so here's a quick run down of my top #mswl items. Please keep in mind: 1) these are my priorities right now, but I'm still considering projects in other categories, & 2) I will re-open to queries on 9/1 so don't hurry! Good > Fast.

Here we go!

Have you seen my recent #mswl thread?

Okay, those are the biggies! If you have one of those projects and you think it's ready to be queried, please go ahead and send it to me before 8/1/18! If it's not quite ready, don't worry, I'll be open to queries again in September '18.

And last but not least, I'm still open to NF if you have an existing platform. If you're not sure what that means, this will help: thebalancecareers.com/what-is-an-aut… #mswl

I also want an Adult Fantasy reminiscent of THE CITY OF BRASS--smart, beautiful writing with a great plot that *moves*. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

I'm also looking for BIG WORLDS in SFF. Something commercial and swashbuckling and fun as hell. I want a ROMP. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

In Adult, I'm looking for a dark, female-driven story that reminds me of Lauren Beukes. Please please please. #mswl

Adult

I'm also still looking for the perfect YA Sci-Fi. Maybe it's a space opera, but it's set in the near future on earth. Maybe it's about weapons, maybe it's about cyber warfare. Whatever it is, I'm looking for a distinct VOICE. #mswl

I'm also looking for upmarket YA Fantasy. I'm a sucker for thoughtful and elegant prose, and deep (not wide) worldbuilding that feels effortless despite it's intricacies. Contemp fantasy, second world fantasy, whatever--it's all great, as long as it sweeps me away. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

In YA, I'm craving a high concept contemporary--that means you can pitch in easily b/c it has a HOOK. I love weird jobs, enemies to lovers, unique living situations, and high stakes. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

I'd also love to see more MG Contemporary that showcases friendships, in particular m/f in which a crush isn't part of the plot. #mswl

I would love to see more Middle Grade in general, but I am particularly excited about contemporary fantasy (fantasy set in our world) and stories inspired by non-western cultures. #mswl

· 4 Jul 2018

I'd like a YA/Adult manuscript--any genre!--that features a #FF enemies to lovers arc. #mswl

I'm starting to see more neurodiversity in my inbox, and it's making me very happy. #MSWL

Hi all, after walking around NOLA with @runwithskizzers and refreshing my memory about the infamous Casket Girls (look them up!), I’m officially putting it out there that I would love love LOVE a YA novel that is a vampire version of The Craft. #mswl 😱💀🌙

um hi yes me too #mswl

Chelsey Emmelhainz @CKEmmelhainz

I'm reading Circe by Madeline Miller right now and loving the hell out of it. Witches and gods and monsters and mortals... Feminist retellings of classic mythology is the BEST genre. Yeah, I just made it a genre of it's own. And every bookstore should have a section for it.

Let’s do this 👇🏽 #mswl

Nivia Evans @NiviaEvans

I'm in the mood for an inventive, female-led magic school story, but from the teacher's POV. Please and thank you. #mswl

Omg why have I never thought of this? Please someone write it for me! #mswl
