#mswl: #SFF sees many leaders who go out in a blaze of glory. Give me their long-suffering second-in-command who has to pick up the pieces.

farmboy/girl-turned-chosen one epic fantasy--with terrific characters and a strong voice #mswl

smart survival SF like THE MARTIAN #mswl

YA girls in a gang -- fantasy or contemp, gritty, dark, bonus for #queer, #woc, #ownvoices #MSWL

yes, especially a high-concept hook #MSWL

#SFF #MSWL: Give me civilizations faced with a sudden need to modernize, and how they negotiate the weight of centuries of history/tradition

#mswl agreed -- the more twisted, the better. No more husbands w/ secrets, tho; something new, please!

EPIC science fiction / space opera, where aristocracy rules planets / galaxies, like DUNE #mswl

Horatio Hornblower in space, like David Feintuch #mswl

YA with queer girls who aren't tragic and aren't dead and are all friends and probably save the world #MSWL

#mswl Yes to the WOC detective prota/ police procedural. Bonus points if she's over 40 / also #queer / #ownvoices

#mswl YES. Characters who follow you off the page & into your day dreams are the driving force of a killer YA, imho.

#SFF #MSWL: give me MCs who don't have/can't rely on natural talent—who've had to work harder and smarter to earn what they've accomplished.

#MSWL #ownvoices stories featuring brown kids in America. Carefree stories, protest stories, queer stories, monster stories, magic stories

I'd love to see a black ops or spy hero in an inspirational romantic suspense. Action/adventure! #MSWL @LoveInspiredBks

Whip-smart, R-rated YA comedy with a black protagonist. #MSWL #ownvoices

Inspirational romance: suspense, historical, and contemporary. Bonus points if it's Amish. #MSWL harlequin.submittable.com/submit

#MSWL #YA stories featuring girl gangs and hijinks

#SFF #mswl Nerdy MCs! I'd love a scholar/archaeologist/scientist hero whose main goal isn't saving the world (even if they end up doing so).

still looking for a big epic dragon book, along the lines of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern or Naomi Novik's Temeraire #MSWL
