"I'm looking for voicey kid lit! For adult fiction, I'm still looking to grow my horror list and identity-driven book club fiction. I want to learn something new in non-fiction and find a project that helps others learn things in digestible ways." loveleemonicaa.bsky.social #mswl

If my username didn't tip you off, it's definitely a bonus if your kidlit project is funny! I love comedies, parodies, satires, and witty adventure stories. I prefer hopeful and fun stories, so if your book makes me cry it probably also needs to make me laugh. #MSWL

#MSWL day

6) This one is super specific - fantasy Dirk Pitt (by Clive Cussler) adventures (ideally feat. a female protagonist)

Science/magic forward, death defying, taking on billionaires, incredible adventure

(Please no military/colonial fantasies/exploitation/Islamaphobia - we know better)

Would love to come across a fantasy with a sense of cozy whimsy with some high character stakes/action/adventure as seen in the game SILKSONG in my inbox 🤍 #MSWL

Niche #MSWL desire would be a blend of family-drama and Scooby-Doo antics/adventure with a hunt for cryptids. The search for chupacabra or moth-man while dealing with siblings relationships? Send my way!

Still looking for my Greig Beck/ James Rollins/ Matthew Reilly style Action & Adventure. Please...I'm begging.

Big romantasy along the lines of SJM or Armentrout. I love Fae but I'm being overwhelmed by them and Prince/ Princess/ Assassin storyline. If you pitch me one please make it stand out.

3) Artemis Fowl, but for adults

4) Dungeons & Dragons inspired fantasy that has the adventure and whimsy and puzzles, and most importantly the absolute dumb-fuckery of any good D&D game

5) Stories that read like fanfic (complimentary)

1) African and/or Caribbean inspired, anti-colonial fantasy (from someone of that background or ancestry)

2) A REALLY GOOD adventure - think Indiana Jones, Clive Cussler, Pirates of the Caribbean

Bonus points for swashbuckling and impossible escapes, but consistent rules/magic

For #MG think of me for spies! heists! and high stakes adventure. I am looking for standout voice, laugh out loud moments, and irresistible characters. I'd love MG fantasy in my inbox, but it needs to feel fresh and new. And I am interested in younger MG with illustrative potential.

Newly opening to: Graphic Novels!

I'm looking for tightly plotted adventures with a strong hook and an elevated art style. I'm interested in similar themes as in prose: children or teenagers tackling unjust systems, an intense first emotional experience connected to a larger social topic.
