#MSWL: Gothic. Give me YA, Adult, anything that speaks to the atmosphere of du Maurier, Jackson, Hill, Purcell, or Waters. Looking for the perfect cross between feminine and terrifying.

Today's Doodle: Journalist Jovita Idar, fierce critic of anti-Mexican violence & border militarization, and great Tejana feminist, who stopped Texas Rangers from shutting down her family newspaper in 1914. She resisted white supremacists & stood for truth. Let's do the same. pic.twitter.com/RQcCWncgJp

If you’re a MG horror author who’s like “hm I think I’m gonna submit to that Savannah Brooks fellow, she seems cool” but don’t know what my ~spooky aesthetic~ is, I just finished reading THIRTEENS, and it nailed the location-based spooks I’m pining for. I want a spook town. #MSWL

I would like to read a YA RomCom set in the time of corona. You have to make it work while still having them behave safely (masks! 6ft apart!). Anybody working on this? #mswl

Studies into healing revealed that full moon amplified the electrical charge in living cells. A sensitive voltmeter,attached to a tree picked up a faint electrical force. However, at the time of the full moon, this force soared upward on the scale. equinoxastrology.com/LunarLore.htm pic.twitter.com/70e4zE9bWr

Now what if that charge was magic or a different kind of energy? Young adult or adult #SFF with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ characters #MSWL

Michi the Adorable Tiny Demon @🏡🔥🍜📖🦄 @GeekMelange

For the longest time I did not know just how many Filipino/a/x were writing SFF *bc the callous disregard & apathy of white fandom was erasing us.* That’s a huge reason why I grit my teeth & fight like hell for me & others to be visible & recognized in these spaces. twitter.com/BenCKinney/sta…

Same here. I'd love to see these stories. #ownvoices #SFF #MSWL

I'll add more #MSWL tweets through the week for other genres! I opened to queries Sept. 15 and am caught up to September for queries, though I have full manuscripts older than that. I look forward to reading yours!

Thinking a little bit about #MSWL tonight! I'm actively seeking Adult SFF. I look for explosively different worlds, intricate politics,new/different presentations of magic,&sci fi that focuses on influence of tech rather than tech itself. Writing quality/originality matters most.

Rachel Diebel is Mostly Away🌻 @diebelra

The marketing team clearly intended this to be a "scary, look it's so scary that the roles are reversed here!!" poster for a contemporary psychological thriller/horror movie, and all of us took one look at this poster and said "sexy historical? sexy historical." pic.twitter.com/np7FRjjfgu

When I reopen to queries, sexy historical domme is definitely on my #MSWL.

The Ladies Guide Associations of the 1890s (female chaperones, tour guides, general helpers for hire) positively scream for a cosy detective series. pic.twitter.com/s3iyqUPrsW

Jennifer Weis @JenniferWeisRYA

Okay guys, I just got rejected. I feel for all of you—agents feel like you do when a potential client picks someone else, which just happened to me with a damn good domestic suspense novel. So I’m open for business to the best of you: Bring on a bestseller! #writingcommmunity

Bookclub fiction and suspense are top on my wish list. #MSWL

“I’d really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I don’t want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I don’t want answers to.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

I want a story about a slow burn love but the timing is never right. Similar to “One Day” & “Love, Rosie.” Where the two MC’s are magnets, but something rips them apart—in crucial moments. Lessons need to be learned. Then they find their way back with hopes of the future. #MSWL❤️

Anyway. Black lives matter and Black speculative fiction matters.

Always looking for this in MG, YA, or Adult. #SFF #BVM #MSWL
