I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

#MSWL I gravitate towards commercial writing and writing with an upmarket bend. I’m specifically prioritizing BIPOC authors and stories, as well as LGBTQ authors and stories.

Send me all your messy relationships, intense yearning, eat the rich, good for her stories!

Hello #MSWL day!

As ever, I’m on the hunt for author-illustrated picture books! Humor is ALWAYS my bag!! Big hearted characters. Big emotions!!

Please note: I only rep illustrators and author-illustrators. If you send an author-only project it will be rejected unread!

#MSWL I’m on the hunt for grounded, accessible science fiction and dystopias. Think clones, time travel, and new tech here on earth that are accessible to more general readers and explore near future-feeling possibilities.

I’d also love a science fantasy and second world science fiction!

in my fantasy. Just with a more unique plot than most romantasy. I want stories that feel like epic fantasy but with intimate stakes or character driven. I want to see all kinds of representation in fantasy. #MSWL

My heart will always be with any kind of fantasy! All subgenres but I've really been feeling cozy adjacent lately; think cozy but with higher stakes. I'm not looking for pure examples of romantasy with tons of tropes, but I do want romance 1/2 #MSWL

#MSWL send me locked room and closed circle mysteries, bonus points for fun settings like theaters, trains, weddings, etc! I love thrillers of all kinds, I’m looking for toxic relationships and romantic elements that amplify the tension and mess. I love mess

#MSWL I love fantasies inspired by non-western folklore and cultures, and am on the hunt for C Drama inspired fantasy that captures a sweeping sense of history and high stakes relationships.

Send me all the alternate/parallel history fantasies, Studio Ghibli-esque fantasies, and fresh worldbuilding

#MSWL Looking for civil rights, race, activism, and Black political life in memoir and nonfiction with narrative force. Deeply reported or fiercely lived—but sharp, urgent, and built to matter beyond the moment. Guidelines in reply.

#MSWL My top ask is for clear, inventive hooks! Across genres, I’m looking for big and original premises.

I’m seriously on the hunt for speculative book club fiction. Think grounded stories emotionally with a bit of genre edge!

#mswl it would be fun to see a labor organizing romance. maybe they have a professional rivalry at different companies but they connect while trying to unionize their respective workplaces. maybe something else! maybe labor rights in a fantasy setting!

#mswl weird and beautiful YA where I may not be sure what's really happening, but the storytelling is so skillful I trust that it will take me where I need to go. books like Strange Creatures, Ink Poppy Midnight, When the Moon Was Ours, Among Others, Places No One Knows

A few of my evergreen requests for #mswl day: women who are knights! women with swords and an unhealthy relationship to the concept of chivalry, who maybe haven't done enough introspection on their proximity to power!
