Reading for a living @janklownesbit, tweeting for free. Constantly mortified by the ordeal of being known. Don't buy books from Amazon. she/her

Some #MSWL clarification: my QueryManager page is set up to accept queries categorized as "Fantasy: Magical Realism," but none labeled "Fantasy" in the more general sense, and that's intentional. If your book is more Tolkien than Ishiguro, more Frank Herbert than Erin Morgenstern, it's not for me.

Idea for story: AI translator hallucinates an entirely new character and inserts it into the translation. Mayhem ensues when it turns out character is generated from private details of actual human. bsky.app/profile/daviddlevine.com/post/3lmnllla4vr2qWait... I want this book. Someone send me this book. #MSWL

Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...
TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

More details on the kind of speculative fiction that would be most at home on my list:
YES - near future, primary world, humans or mostly humans, plausible tech, the supernatural
NO - alien races, fantasy creatures, swords & sorcery, invented languages, magical kingdoms, intergalactic anything

I'm currently most interested in contemporary or deeply researched historical literary/upmarket fiction by BIPOC writers and nonfiction from authors with existing platforms or previous publications (including academics), and I'm closed to kidlit except by referral or request #MSWL

I know fewer people look at Twitter these days, but for any querying writers checking for #MSWL updates: I'm still closed to unsolicited kidlit submissions (including YA), and I'm unlikely to sign anything that could be considered high fantasy or epic sci-fiIf any authors are inclined to grant my #MSWL wishes today, though: reading Dracula rekindled my love for the epistolary format, so if anyone wants to send me a novel written in letters, emails, ship's logs, Wiki articles, tweets, grocery lists, etc., I want to read it!

How can we include speculative fiction in global lit conversations? How can sci-fi/fantasy publishers and prizes bring more global voices to readers? In an essay from the archives, @Rcordasmakes the case for speculative fiction in translation: https://buff.ly/47TAsKQ
Send me speculative fiction in translation!!! #MSWL

I have an idea for a truly ridiculous romantic comedy. twitter.com/franklinleonard/status/1737612286632882645I'm not otherwise actively seeking rom-coms, but if you're writing one specifically about pro soccer/football, I wanna see. #MSWL

I won't be able to drop by #moodpitch before this too-short week ends, but my queries are open for work that aligns with my #MSWL, and feel free to include your mood board if you have one: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/roma…
(I'm strongly prioritizing adult submissions at the moment!)
