#MSWL #writingcommunity

Now open for queries! Looking for commercial and upmarket mystery/thriller with a dash of horror, possible speculative elements. Think THE HOUSEMAID, THE WRITING RETREAT, THE PUSH. querytracker.net/query/3237 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers #MSWL #Mysterywriters #thrillers #booksky

I’d love to see some more propulsive thrillers with a feminist edge in my inbox #MSWL

My favorite fantasy trope ever is the Planet of the Apes twist, i.e. when your strange and old timey fantasy world is secretly the future. Send me that please! #mswl

Something I can’t get enough of is REALITY TV with a SFF, horror, or thriller/mystery element. #mswl

Think The Selection, Hunger Games, though doesn’t have to be YA.

Not a fit for contemporary romance reality TV. It needs a genre element to really pique my interest.

Also, I am still so obsessed with idea of poison dresses and using "female" arts (sewing, knitting, etc) for spy craft. Cold War spy novel in a fantasy book, not focused on a princess? #MSWL

Comedic fantasy, if that is a thing? Like I want a high fantasy book, but like what if it is a high school reunion and you are the failed chosen one? Why do we take high fantasy so seriously? #MSWL

a cool retelling or homage to THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO #MSWL

Also, I need a lady knight book. Maybe in a contemporary? #MSWL #YA

Also, I really like unlikable characters. They have to be relatable, and morally grey, but wow are they complex. #MSWL #YA

Mermaids.

Predators of the deep. Soft mermaids who never go in the water.

Give me mermaids, please! #MSWL #YA #MG

Also, I really was not a fan of being first gen as a kid. I kind of push backed on German culture because I wanted to fit in with my peers. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but MG and #ownvoices for your culture. Because sometimes it is hard being caught between two worlds. #MSWL

And also a friendship break book that also happens to be set in the 90s, and their friendship might be ending because the Spice Girls broke up. But you know... #MSWL #MG

And I need a soft Halloween/Fall/Cottagecore book. Cozy and sweater weather. #MSWL

This one is really specific now, because someone told me what a con medic is and I cannot stop thinking about it.

For the love of all, someone give me a con medic book. #MSWL

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, history of tattoos, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB

For picture books, I tend to lean towards a more commercial edge. And humor, with a heart of gold is 100% where my heart lies. #MSWL

I want an atmospheric read. Something that takes me away from...this. And my house and makes the setting almost its own character.

Misty shores, or foggy woods. Give me a lyrical sense of place in a great story. #MSWL

As any good fantasy nerd, I love fantasy. In MG and YA, but I am picky nowadays. So it has to feel different. But give me high concept stories. Give me beautiful writing. Give me morally complex characters. #MSWL
