just want more dark academia storylines tbh ... more Secret History, murdery, lush and twisty stories set against the backdrop of stifling academia, bonus points if it's historical (1940s or 60s would be fascinating, pls) ty and good night #mswl

Academia! Give me all of those old-book vibes. I want dark academia with historical mysteries; professor MC/love interests a la Dani Brown; the excessive mentioning of tomes like in "A Discovery of Witches"; and an abundance of libraries!

I'M ALSO SEEKING

🖋️ Dark academia that takes place in unusual contexts, like community colleges or immersion programs
🖋️Historical romance centering working class people and marginalized groups
🖋️Stories that mix magic, pop culture, and rock & roll like THE WICKED + THE DIVINE

I am once again asking the authors of Twitter to send me their dark academia manuscripts #MSWL

I am completely up to date on queries and nearly so with requested MSS (just 3 in the queue!) so am in dire need of more! Please send your "comps to KJ Charles" specfic romance, Hannibal-esque sexy horror, dark academia, MG mysteries, and all your funny stuff to the front #MSWL

yes of course i want all your GIDEON THE NINTH comps (my twin passions are dynamism of voice + gay girls with horrible little personalities) BUT the all-lyctor extra-dark academia supercut is the real #mswl

🌟 Chaotic 2022 #MSWL thread🌟
Contemporary YA, either light rom-com style such as To All the Boys, or darker themes such as those in Before I fall. Sexy pirates, and mermaids. MAGICAL ACADEMIA/dark academia. Throw in an oddly attractive classmate.

Gothic/Dark Academia:

Think Crimson Peak, Edgar Allen Poe, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Mexican Gothic, Ninth House, Ace of Spades, dark Gossip Girl, & Addams Family!

Give me a heavy atmosphere & aesthetic.

Dark academia in the vein of NINTH HOUSE and PLAIN BAD HEROINES. Give me dusty tomes, ancient libraries, snarky heroes and anything featuring alchemy. I’m a sucker for some alchemical magic. #MSWL

A comedy with secret society and trapped in another world tropes, with dark academia vibes?! If only I could pull that off, damn. #MSWL

I was today years old when I found out what Dark Academia is, and now I want to read those submissions! Adding to #MSWL.

I really really want some dark academia/secret society/cult books. Whether it’s gothic and horror, fantasy or mystery, I NEED this in my life. ‼️‼️

Hi, is it too soon to ask for more adult projects in my queries?

I’d love a book set in 1920s and more dark academia books 🥰🤗 #mswl #historicalfiction #darkacademia
