Someone must've boosted the literary agents starter pack again because my follows are blowing up, so here's my
#MSWL : www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/ro...

TL;DR: Send me literary & upmarket adult fiction and narrative nonfiction; closed to kidlit (inc YA) and unlikely to sign SFF right now

For the next two weeks we are open to adult upmarket/literary/commercial fiction (speculative elements including horror, etc. are OK!) and then we'll open to remaining genres like SFF

Very happy to share my #MSWL , working alongside @ecniumata !

Upmarket or book club fiction that blends genres, including speculative (always enjoy some spookiness!), fantasy/sci-fi, historical, mystery/thriller, etc. (1/10)

I'm craving a story about Hermes with a personality similar to Epic, the Musical and his character in A Touch of Darkness. #writingcommunity #MSWL #manuscript

And if your novel is completely realistic, GREAT. I'd be thrilled to see more fiction submissions that engage with our fractured society exactly as it exists and hopefully find something new, thought-provoking, moving, and true to say about it. #MSWL

More details on the kind of speculative fiction that would be most at home on my list:
YES - near future, primary world, humans or mostly humans, plausible tech, the supernatural
NO - alien races, fantasy creatures, swords & sorcery, invented languages, magical kingdoms, intergalactic anything
