Woke up and realized I didn't because it's not that kind of epic fantasy, no swords here, and felt a lot better until it hit me this is debut year and panicked for other reasons šI love VERY DIFFERENT fantasy. The more genre-bending the better. Kritika's books blend epic fantasy (no swords!) with a touch of sci fi, STRONG sense of place, & strong contemporary relevance. If you're wondering what I mean by "very different fantasy" on #MSWL - add this TBR!

You know what is more fresh and interesting and high-stakes to me than stories about leaving earth for space? Saving and preserving earth for future generations. #MSWL

āIād really love to get more YA horror in my inbox. Smart horror. I donāt want gore, I want a story that creeps me out, and asks questions I donāt want answers to.ā @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

Stayed up far too late finishing Reckless Girls by @LadyHawkins... perfect example of the sort of suspense I'm after at the moment. Escapist, feminist, chilling, a little bit sexy, multi POV, secrets-and-lies, a proper 'shut-the-front-door' ending... #mswl fodder indeed!

Women's fiction that makes me cry at the end of the book, from heartwarming or heartbreak, is a fave, and I'm a sucker for a dual timeline when masterfully done. #MSWL

Hi lovely writers, just a reminder if you query me, pls don't email me if you want me to read it.

I see a lot of you are writing descent into villainy arcs and you are formally invited to query me with those manuscripts when they're ready because that's my catnip #MSWL

"Dark, twisted, borderline disturbingā¦ words Iād use to describe my interest in thrillers. Not looking for gore at the moment, but definitely into psychological elements. Especially fictionalized accounts of actual crimes." @claire_m_harris #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/
