My absolute weakness is a revenge story. If anyone has a fantasy project full of angst, betrayal, revenge, twisty politics, a sprinkle (or a lot) of yearning, I want to read it.

If you are writing a Southwestern Gothic, please step to the front of the class. I'm desperate for something dark and unsettling and folkloric set in the stark desert. #mswl

If you are writing 2024's Kushiel's Dart, step to the front of the line. PLEASE. #mswl

I'm in the mood for some upmarket spec fic based on the Egyptian myths. I would also love to see an angsty, romantic, political, intense high fantasy series centered on Osiris and Isis. #mswl

Really in the mood for something gothic as hell, full of rot and ruin, a slow-burn romance, twists and turns, and BIPOC protagonists. #MSWL

If someone out there is writing an adult fantasy inspired by the epic tale Isis and Osiris that is romantic, angst-ridden and full of tense politics...I'm your editor.

History-inspired epic fantasy with intricate, detailed worldbuilding. I'm talking Hannibal's march on Rome, the rise of Shaka Zulu, Sultana Shajar al-Durr of Egypt, etc.
Look to history and give me some new epics! #mswl

I'd love to see high-concept, character-driven, accessible SF. #mswl
