What are your favorite *published, adult* books heavily-featuring schools for magic-users????(No YA or MG, please!)
(This is forever on my #MSWL because I don't think there are enough of these in the adult space!)

I don't know whether it's the season, or just 2020 in general, but I am craving a warm and wise and magical witchy story right now, brimming with sisterhood and secrets (historical or contemporary). Bonus points if it has a compelling romance! #MSWL

...and there are so many amazing female figures in mythology (or history) whose stories have been overlooked/untold. I would love to work on a book like CIRCE or THE LOST QUEEN--but maybe moving east for the source of inspiration #MSWL 7/

This all began because @VonBrooklyn forwarded me a very cool email talking about the Spring Goddesses Persephone, Flora, and Hara Ke, and honestly, all of them were #MSWL (but we agreed especially Hara Ke and her dragons)... 6/

I'd love a hopeful near future project, an optimistic dystopian tale, something that imagines a world where everything might be broken, but there is a best of humanity that survives (I can't imagine why I want this) #MSWL 5/

I am never going to stop loving fairytale-inspired stories like SPINNING SILVER. I want dark woods and woodsy magic, monsters that aren't what they seem, characters who take their destinies into their own hands, romance and danger, and a HEA #MSWL 3/

Ever since I became an editor, I've wanted a GARDEN SPELLS-style project--a story about tangled family ties and old friendships, about how people fracture and mend, steeped in magic and warmth and charm and set in a town that could be anywhere, and yet... #MSWL 2/

I tried to do a #MSWL thread the other day and twitter thwarted me. But I refuse to stay thwarted because have room on my list for new voices--and stories are one of the few things keeping me sane right now...![](https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1564783776634396672/LCP-OIYn_bigger.jpg)

As mentioned at the start of this thread, there are so many amazing female figures in mythology (or history) whose stories have been overlooked/untold. I would love to work on a book like CIRCE or THE LOST QUEEN--but maybe moving east for the source of inspiration #MSWL

I desperately want to go to space right now! I love warm, character-driven adventures a la Becky Chambers, and more sweeping space operas. Give me your ragtag crews and seemingly impossible odds, battles and hijinks (and..ahem...some romance) #MSWL

I'm craving THE CITY OF BRASS-style rich and intricate fantasy, with complicated family dynamics, stark political tension, sweeping romance, and hard loss; stories that (respectfully) wed historical inspiration and folklore with unexpected magic and major stakes #MSWL

Just watched the preview for the Charmed reboot. Am still on the fence about the show, but it reminded me how much I want a dark, magical, modern witchy sister story. #mswl
