Fairy Tale
🧼 Lauren Spieller 🖐 @laurenspieller · May 28
I'd love to see more upmarket/literary fantasy in my inbox, a la TEN THOUSAND DOORS, UPROOTED, A DARKER SHADE. I'm particularly drawn to books that play with fairytales and folklore, but I'm looking for anything that draws me in w/ great characters and excellent writing. #mswl

1.) MAGIC REALISM. Give me contemporary stories with magic or historical tales with a mythological/fairy tale emphasis! I’m especially interested in diverse mythologies (or my old favorite, anything Celtic). #MSWL

I am never going to stop loving fairytale-inspired stories like SPINNING SILVER. I want dark woods and woodsy magic, monsters that aren't what they seem, characters who take their destinies into their own hands, romance and danger, and a HEA #MSWL 3/

I'm a huge fan of fairy tales but I've not come across a lot of these featuring marginalised characters. Are fairy tale retellings that feature diverse characters marketable in the current climate? #askDVpitThis is actually like the top of my #MSWL; I love retellings and would love to see more that include characters from marginalized backgrounds (and that holds true from PB through YA for me) #askDVPit

I'd love to find a dark fairy tale retelling in the vein of UPROOTED that plays with form/timeline/expectations. Looking for MG/YA/Adult! #mswl

I'm also a fan of soulmate, modern setting, magic/fairytale, and coffeeshop and flowershop AUs. #mswl

Similarly, stories that feel like fairytales or folklore, but are completely brand new. #MSWLAgent twin strikes again! Original fairytales for the WIN #MSWL

I love a fractured fairy tale! But please surprise me with something new. And while talking about fairy tales and myths, I'd love a MG fantasy with the cultural specificity and the fresh contemporary voice of Sayantani DasGupta's THE SERPENT'S SECRET. #MSWL
Leah Spann @LeahSpann · 24 Sep 2019
The next Uprooted. Folklore/fairytale/mythical roots with original characters and plots. #MSWL
Melissa Ann Singer @maseditor · 24 Sep 2019
I've read a lot of fairy tales and folk tales from a range of traditions. Fantasy novels that mine those veins have great appeal to me.
