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
Hi all! I'll be opening my queries for two weeks starting February 1! You can find more about what I'm interested in on the Metamorphsis Website and on my Query page. I look forward to reading your work. #query#WritingCommunityQuerytracker.net/query/shanians/shaniansoler
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

Reading for a living @janklownesbit , tweeting for free. Constantly mortified by the ordeal of being known. Don't buy books from Amazon. she/her
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 #MSWL
