I love science fiction that makes me wonder about the world, as well as cozy stories and morally gray characters.

I love weird, cozy, and morally gray fantasy. I also want to see more Asain and African based stories.

Check out the images below for Alex's updated #MSWL ! She's hunting for #MG horror and fantasy, #YA thriller and fantasy, and anything gothic. Stories featuring #LGBTQ characters are a huge plus!

-novels set in the real world but featuring magic. Think Rivers of London, Thread needle, A Discovery of Witches or The Gifts. Or cosy fantasy like Legends and Lattes, T J Clune or books about magical bookshops

-crime, thrillers and suspense. Either cosy (e.g Over My Dead Body by Maz Evans or Richard Osman-esque), blackly comic (like My Sister, the Serial Killer) or intelligent and inclusive (Gillian Flynn vibes). I also love novels that feature a 'beat the system' narrative

🧵 Submission details can be found on the HS LA website, but I am especially keen to see in my #MSWL :

-book club and literary fiction, especially if featuring people going through difficult circumstances or written by Irish authors. E.g Shuggie Bain or My Name is Leon.

Folks look at this thread 🧵 for a sort of anti #MSWL . Word counts (except for me not repoing young kid lit) aren’t hard and fast rules so don’t count yourself out if your in the neighborhood.

New thought: a lot of the accessible literary books I've read and loved which feature young (straight) women have them going from man to man. While that's a completely normal experience—where are the early 20s women going ???? men??? Please bring those books to me

Taking the opportunity to add one more desire to my #MSWL I’d love to see a good contemporary romance with a hot sports guy. Steamy? Sure! If you have it, I’d love to see it. #amquerying #amediting #WriterCommunity #writers #ContemporaryRomance
