I'm looking for contemporary and light fantasy MG and YA fiction + the select picture book, with a focus on character-driven marginalized stories that center around joy and hope.🧵

#mswl PLEASEEE

Actually, not only do I want Spuffy vibes, I would love to see some ADULT vampire romance: give me sex, blood, morally grey (or even totally amoral, done well enough) protagonists, and YEARNING. #mswl

#MSWL #query #writerscommunity Take me on a journey.

Craving some suspenseful action thrillers as well, especially after binging The Glory and Ballerina

General themes that are not for me: Fae/Witches/Demons vs Angels/Elemental Magic/Space Operas

Of course there are exceptions to all of this ^ Never know what might surprise me

Reaaally itching for a Martial Arts fantasy in the vein of Jade City x Ong Bak, but more female forward. Extra points if it blends mythology and anticolonial themes

In Gothic fantasy: Really looking for something outside of the London aesthetic. Show me a Caribbean or Latinx Gothic
