#MSWL

At @bookendslit we've established an incredible list of cozy writers. Believe it or not, we are still looking for cozies. I'd love to see cozies that appeal to a younger & more diverse audience. #MSWL

#MSWL I would LOVE to work on a non-fiction project about paleontology!

Settings that feel like a character

Or “ethereal”

Moods that can be described as “eerie”

Clever takes on familiar plots/tropes or fresh retellings that completely subvert expectations.

Strong familial bonds: both biological and found

Fantasy that has big Studio Ghibli energy, wondrous and strange.

There are two types I’m drawn to:

-the soft character who is too pure for this world and must be protected at all costs

-the brittle character who has been through some shit and is desperately trying to hold it together

Been thinking over the types of stories I gravitate to, and noticing some common elements.

So, I guess it’s kind of a forever #MSWL? Just a thread of things I love (and love to work on).

I have a big time #MSWL for a story like Never Have I Ever! There’s just so much to love about this show. It’s everything I’ve wanted and more in a coming of age comedy for teens. Also, I wish I had a Paxton Hall-Yoshida when I was in high school. 😍

I don't know if any of you have been watching The King Eternal Monarch on Netflix, but I'd love to see a Korean inspired historical YA fantasy that blends the present with the past in this vein. It's so good! #mswl

Well, now I'M disappointed, and fwiw, if someone queried me with this, I'd be all over it. Give me those cozy, queer-coded, futuristic sci fi retellings with cordial on the side. #MSWL
