#MSWL craving a martial arts fantasy 👀👀

"I'd love to see adult fiction with light touches of magic like THE VERY SECRET SOCIETY OF IRREGULAR WITCHES and THE INHERITANCE OF ORQUÍDEA DIVINA."

I've temporarily closed to fiction queries to focus on my clients. However, I am still open to nonfiction proposals. Please see my pinned tweet for #MSWL

Calling all women's fiction authors! Fresh for 2023, @tanera_simons is looking for commercial, character-driven, evocative fiction! If you think that might be you, check out her Wishlist at the link below! darleyandersonblog.com/2023/02/02/tan… #amwriting #amquerying #mswl #romancebooks

I'm also interested in SFF that shows characters with a strong sense of spirituality. Though caveat, I'm not the right editor for overtly Christian narratives.

Faith doesn't necessarily feel like a popular theme in SFF these days, but I am always interested in novels that deal with it. Whether it's religious horror, positive representations of Islam in high fantasy, or nuns in space, send it my way #MSWL

🧵Updated #mswl today from team Kate Nash @JustinNashLit @saskialeach_ @BethFerguson__ @katenashagent

#mswl: a cosy crime set in the Netherlands or Denmark (like Seaside Hotel but with a body); a hospital-set saga (like Charité or New Nurses); and anything set in a hotel or involving a sea monster.

#amquerying writers, I'd love to see:

✨️A cosy fantasy like Legends and Lattes - magic meets the mundane in mythical wedding planners or dragons at drama school

💖A dreamy fairy-tale inspired romantasy (soulmates are a plus)

🔎A twisty Knives Out-esque murder mystery

#MSWL

#amwriting & #amquerying writers, I'm looking for contemporary cosy crime in an unconventional setting, a character-driven WW2 story with female espionage (think Heather Morris), and a Lucy Foley-esque locked room psychological thriller that revolves around toxic friendship #mswl

Some of my #MSWL: a historical in a tight social group (e.g. Viking War band, a WW1 trench or Arctic exploration), retro crime (50s to 70s), historical with light touch fantasy (gods/the supernatural) or a Cold War thriller set in East Germany #amwriting & #amquerying

Excited to reopen query manager and hope to see:
-Self help from BIPOC experts
-Mindfulness & social justice (like Rest Is Resistance)
-Narrative journalism
-Decolonizing themes
-Workplace humor from TikTokers
-Biz soft skills to big ideas esp
