It's #MSWL day, you say? I have one of those! And it just got a shiny new update for 2025: featherflores.com/mswl/
Lots of specifics in here—give it a peek! ✨ I'm especially hungry for YA fantasy, romantasy, and gothic vibes rn. Agents, please reach out if something's a fit (or just to say hi 💞).

I would LOVE additional recs, please! And also, I have to say, these must be very hard to get publishers to buy ("But almost nothing happens! It's all character- and world-building!") and yet obviously there are a lot of us hungry for it.Agents! Hello! This thread is a great excuse to remind you that cozy fantasy & sci-fi is explicitly on my #MSWL! I WILL BUY IT, please let me buy it, thank you & happy long weekend 💖💕💗😊

- Mythology! Fairytales! Folklore! (Especially from non-European cultures!)
- Magical realism! Witchery! Magic rooted in nature!
- Atmospheric, gentle fantasy a la Studio Ghibli!
- Fantasy & science fiction rooted in inclusive world-building!
