I'd love a hopeful near future project, an optimistic dystopian tale, something that imagines a world where everything might be broken, but there is a best of humanity that survives (I can't imagine why I want this) #MSWL

In YA - all categories and genres #MSWL I am partial to:
- VOICE!
- Unique take on dystopian & all YA SFF
- Thriller/Mys: dark and broody
- Historical from any time other than WW2
- Contemp? Something funny! Bring me your YA snark and sarcasm.
- #ownvoices

In Adult SFF #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Fresh twists & unique concepts
- I love all kinds: dystopia, post apoc, space opera, high fantasy, low, magical realism, urban, etc - but it HAS to be different than what's already out there.
- Mash ups and new takes most welcome
- #ownvoices

Speculative fiction and with a lightly dystopian angle like WILDER GIRLS and WE SET THE DARK ON FIRE. Give me something so weird here it's impossible to fit in one category. #MSWL

I would love a dystopian that is smart and 2019 like THE GRACE YEAR. #MSWL

#overheard two 20 somethings talking about #books yesterday. Readers still want more of the same - just different? I wonder what a #dystopian, #postapocalyptic #domestic #thriller might look like? #bookslike #mswl

Send me your late capitalism dystopians. #mswl

My #MSWL: ALL the romance. Give me love triangles and quadrilaterals. Give me hate to love and slow burn, and firsts. Contemporary & historical & dystopian & speculative. Stories from marginalized voices and new perspectives.

So I found my witch writer, my pirates writer, and my ballet writer this year! WOOO!!! What am I looking for next?...

...Sci-Fi, gaming, and dystopian/futuristic sci-fi. I'm not a space opera person though! Sorry! #MSWL This goes for MG and YA! =)

Thoughts: would anyone read a dystopian that takes on what might happen when - world ends - and people no longer have government barrier to raid Area 51?

Could be horror. Sci fi. But... I’m curious lol #amagenting #mswl

#MSWL Futuristic sci-fi (not set in space) and...dare I say it...

DYSTOPIAN!

Dun dun dunnnnn...

I would love to see dystopia or fantasy/sci fi with abandoned theme parks. Think Doctor Who "Nightmare in Silver" episode or Chernobyl playground feels. Points for setting as haven to homeless kids #MSWL

Sammmeee #MSWL

#MSWL Thinking about the dichotomy of things & I want a near-future DYSTOPIAN where nothing is cleaned up & pretty. Want the horror (w/out major gore) of floods, earthquakes, death etc w/the thread of hope. Both pain & beauty. Give it to me...would love this with a literary feel.

Hey, look! I'm officially on the #MSWL website: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/kara…

As I visit the library today, I am reminded of how much I like dystopian YA. But smart dystopian. Like SCYTHE, WITHER, so give me smart dystopian #MSWL

I would absolutely love to find dystopian women's fiction in my inbox. #MSWL
