slack brainstorming our #mswl this afternoon

Calling all fantasy writers! I want stories that turn the tables on traditional magical creature tropes. What if rainbows & unicorns aren't good, dragons are soft-hearted, & x cryptid jerky is delicious? Let's flip the script & bring new perspectives. #fantasy #amquerying #mswl

To explain more, when I think of high fantasy: if you’re talking about portals, realms, fae, different fantastical races…. I’m probably not the best fit anti-#MSWL

"I would love to see more gender fluid, trans, masculine-of-centre, and non-binary protagonists across genres."

So @CourierCall is the story that has STOLEN MY HEART this year. I cannot stop listening to it, in all my spare time, I'm in love. This kind of cozy fantasy, slice of life, wholesome content is 100% my #MSWL.

As a reminder, I will be open to queries May 1st, 2023 📅

Please note I ONLY accept submissions through Query Manager, email submissions will remain forever unanswered: QueryManager.com/MacLysaght

🔮 Unabashed minimalism. Ironic disinterest is over, baby! yes YES the tiger is out!

🗡️ Gay-coded villains, frivolously or as a more intentional examination of queerness and what we owe to our queer elders and the generation following

👯 Ensemble casts with charming side characters (I’m an inveterate side character lover)

🚢 Hope and kindness as a prerequisite. Come talk to me about the exquisite examination of compassion and community in the face of annihilation in The Terror season 1

🎟️ Speculative futures not set in American cities

💀 Horror you want to hide from while you keep reading, things that make you say “gross”

🕰️ More mystery in everything! I love a goal. Speculative? Give it a mystery. Contemp romance? Give it a mystery!! Mystery? Go ahead and slap another mystery in there, baby!!!

📽️ Tightly paced, high-tension character driven stories you can’t put down. Slice of life is not for me

🌈 Romantasy and speculative queer love stories. I love space ships/fantasy kingdoms but what I love more is knowing how many beds are in the ship/castle

🤌 Characters who kiss (or should) but dont👏 trust👏 each👏 other👏

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:

I feel like this would make a PERFECT picture book, is anyone working on one/interested in working on one? #MSWL

"I want unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers."
