#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!

Happy #MSWL Day!

Also this show but make it fantasy YA or NA #MSWL

#MSWL THE AMERICANS but set it in Fantasy

My kingdom for this readalike! #MSWL

Also same for #MSWL in New Adult as well

#MSWL I am really looking for YA romance/fantasy, horror, and dystopian.

#MSWL speculative, brilliantly strange literary fiction; darkly funny, razor-sharp satire about American culture; inventive hard SF and SF/literary crossovers. Books that reject racism, fascism, capitalism, patriarchy, and other -isms. Sadly not interested in fantasy, romance, or YA. Thanks!

#MSWL for a YA dystopian that comps to the 2009 scifi movie TiMER

And everything in this post is still true! #MSWL

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

It's #MSWL day and I am open to queries on Monday. Here are some things I am thinking about.

#MSWL And one more thing: at Workshop we have some fun things we can do with shorter novels for both MG and YA, so on the lookout for those as well! Agent friends, please send me all the things! :)

#MSWL A very specific thing I'd like to see: a fantasy or a historical where the main character uses traditionally feminine skills to their advantage (like hiding coded messages in embroidery, for instance) rather than being dismissive of it.

#MSWL A few specific things I'd love to see: lady knights! Time loops! (I loved THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA by Tasha Suri) Historical detectives, like Sherlock Holmes or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, but with queer girls. Painterly graphic novels that still have a punchy hook.

#MSWL Even in fantasies/historicals, I need the teenagers to feel like teenagers and not like this could be an adult book. Some examples I've enjoyed recently were LADY'S KNIGHT by Megan Spooner & Amie Kaufman, the FORGE & FRACTURE SAGA by Brittany N. Williams, and AMONG GHOSTS by Rachel Hartman.

#MSWL Genres, you say? I'm glad you asked! I am not a good fit for most straightforward contemporary without a strong speculative twist. But I love fantasy, I love historicals, I love mysteries, I love genre bending stories. I am picky about sci fi but when I love it I LOVE it.

#MSWL I am primarily eager for queer stories! Please please send me your queer books! If there is sapphic yearning, particularly in any of the genres I'm most interested in, why is it not in my inbox already?? There also remains a lack of trans girl stories in kidlit, I'd love to see some!
