now i'm just thinking more random 2024 #mswl things... i'd also love to see more epic romance! sweeping, fated love stories with world-changing stakes, different lifetimes, etc. i also love romances with fairytale and/or folklore sensibilities💖

thinking about what i'd like to see more of in 2024 and i'd be thrilled to get more cryptid submissions (in any genre)! also anything with eldritch vibes, weird things in the woods, or incomprehensible cosmic horrors 😇#mswl

I want a novel about a psychopath but like not a thriller but like a literary novel of this person being bored and deciding to fuck shit up in a mundane but unhinged way #mswl

#MSWL #PB #kidlit ❤️🏳️‍🌈

James and the Giant Peach but a PB and the MC is a #queer child who leaves home to embark on a wondrous, magical journey of self-discovery by himself. (Magical realism, loneliness, resilience, bravery, finding home/yourself.)

YA
- ROMANTASY, needs no explanation methinks (side note - I’d love to see vampires make a comeback)
-keeps me on the edge of my seat THRILLERS, extra points if it includes a good whodunnit
-psychological or supernatural HORROR, that leaves me going to sleep with the light on

YA
‘I want it all’ - Sharpay Evans
-super tropey ROMANCE, think academic rivals, enemies to lovers, brothers best friend
-pacey, plot driven FANTASY, slightly obsessed with dragons but other creatures are accepted. Urban fantasy or high fantasy, I need good world building!!
