Here are some of my favorite dystopian novels, which may help you better understand my preferences in the genre! (or help you find your next read!)

Having spent my early teens devouring dystopian novels, the genre will always have my heart. I’m drawn to apocalyptic, Orwellian, cyberpunk, Huxleyan, post-apocalyptic, & steampunk stories + those exploring history, propaganda, romance/thriller elements, & with an Arcane vibe!

I’m seeking commercial fiction for YA and adult audiences, especially in the romance, fantasy, mythology, dark academia, horror, thriller, & dystopian genres.

#MSWL I’m on the hunt for grounded, accessible science fiction and dystopias. Think clones, time travel, and new tech here on earth that are accessible to more general readers and explore near future-feeling possibilities.

I’d also love a science fantasy and second world science fiction!

Also same for #MSWL in New Adult as well

#MSWL I am really looking for YA romance/fantasy, horror, and dystopian.

#MSWL for a YA dystopian that comps to the 2009 scifi movie TiMER

I love all kinds of science fiction but prefer any subgenre to be character driven. Dystopian. Space Opera. Cozy like Becky Chambers. Stories with feminist themes. Murder mysteries in space. Quirky. Darker. Pretty much everything. #MSWL

#MSWL I desperately want a spicy dystopian romance post climate apocalypse. Think "The 100" but I want the stories of those left on the ground.

**Please make sure to attach the 40,000 words in a Word doc.

For a YA/crossover readership (my initial focus), I'd particularly love to see original, immersive speculative and fantasy novels (especially if inspired by an unusual setting or underrepresented history, mythology or culture), horror, dystopian, romance and thrillers.
