Maeve MacLysaght

In Fantasy & Science Fiction:

🍷 Lush, decadent, slightly fallen worlds with horrible, sexy people

👺 I’m weak for a monster, a knight, a saint, or an alchemist

🏚️ A haunted house, a secret organization, a placid surface with fraught depths

🔮 A bargain, a deal with the devil, a curse

In Romance:

💘 I want, most of all, to fall in love. Make me swoon like a Victorian maiden. 100/10 on the swoon scale.

🌸 Historical romance that explores secret societies, unspoken relationships

🗝️ Romance always has to have another genre for me, be that fantasy, horror, or mystery (or all three!)

I'm also looking for something truly Romantic, capital R. Sweep me off my feet w/ characters I can fall in love with - I like an asshole character as much as the next gal, but I also love love. Regency, Fantasy, just no contemporary. Something like LADY FOR A DUKE or A STRANGE AND STUBBORN ENDURANCE

I've read a lot of very good fantasy books about very bad things happening to people for ~reasons~ and I want to feel joy again. This would be a great time to send me your steamiest queer romantasy ⚔️🫀 #mswl

🌈 Romantasy and speculative queer love stories. I love space ships/fantasy kingdoms but what I love more is knowing how many beds are in the ship/castle

🤌 Characters who kiss (or should) but dont👏 trust👏 each👏 other👏

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

🐉Monsters, ghosts, cryptids. To kiss? To kill? To make friends with? To become? All of the above.

🧛Funny fantasy, à la What We Do In the Shadows

🕴️The bizarre treated banally, like Control or Magnus Archives

New year, new #MSWL!

I represent BIPOC, Queer, and marginalized creators writing commercial genre fiction across MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel. My particular weaknesses are genre-blending SFF, horror, and anything with murder or making out (ideally both)
