What i would love to see more of in fantasy: blending genres, spies, military academies (weirdly a sucker for this); cozy fantasy, romantasy that is not portal fantasy. #MSWL

Next open to queries 3/3/25!

On the Sci-Fi side, I'd like to see Dystopian, political, and other Grounded Sci-Fi (on land), like Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

One of my dream #MSWL books is a horror novel set in a cave -- think The Descent for books. Claustrophobic, dark, encroaching madness...bonus points for historical setting, an ambiguous ending, or a queer romance subplot. Antarctica horror would be cool too I guess 💁‍♀️

I grew up on the coast and really love books that capture the vibes of the ocean--whether that's a lighthouse setting, a coastal town, or a high-seas adventure! #MSWL

#MSWL cont.

-A big splashy YA speculative and/or horror with lots of commercial appeal
-SF or science fantasy with a fresh concept that would appeal to a mainstream audience
-I’m specifically looking for the above wish list items from underrepresented voices

Happy #MSWL Day! 🎉 Here are a couple specifics I’d love to see:

-Adult horror based on intriguing historical events (e.g. The Donner Party in Alma Katsu’s THE HUNGER)
-High concept adult fiction with a speculative thread for the book club space
-Fantasy in spooky settings

I’d rather read mss that attempt difficult things and execute them pretty well than ones that attempt what’s easy and execute it flawlessly. Dream big #MSWL ! Open for submissions in May, read more about what I'm interested in at www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ch... lfpbooks.bsky.social
