#MSWL: fairytale and mythology retellings, especially in unusual or unexpected settings, and especially if reimagined to give agency to the marginalized. No damsels, no white knights, all underdogs.

#MSWL
- Adult Gothic Horror (think Crimson Peak)
- Adult High Fantasy featuring women as leaders
- Retellings of fairytales by #OwnVoices authors!!
- Spooky MG ghost stories
- MG stories with witches and elaborate settings

Adult fairytale retellings with emotional complexity, warmth, and grit. #MSWL

#MSWL Also craving smart escapist reads, fairy-tale retellings, books about motherhood (not prescriptive though) and anything that tackles the most urgent issues in our society and/or pushes the envelop.

I’m still looking for a YA macabre fairy tale retelling. A story that combines luxurious fantasy and horror. #MSWL

Please, #authors , send me your adult novels w/ fairy tale elements! #queries #bookagent #mswl

I'd really love stories that breathe new life into classic fairytales and myths. Would definitely like to see a fresh take on something like mermaids. #MSWL

I would love to find a unique retelling of a fairytale or folktale for the #mg #YA or adult market! #MSWL

Looking for lesser-known fairy tales reimagined and mythology, folklore, or fables from different parts of the world! #mswl

Same here! Adult or YA. #MSWL

“A macabre #YA fairy tale retelling.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation/

I'd like a non-white, dark fairy tale for MG or YA. #mswl

I love fairytales, the darker and more dangerous the better.

I love stories about girls with troubled pasts.

Stories about magic, and its cost.

Take me on a journey that makes me never want to come home.

A fairytale re-imagined for adults #MSWL

If we’re being honest, my truest #MSWL is anything that can be compared to @RealGDT . Give me dark fairytales that turn the world on its head, send me gothic romances that pulsate with life, mail me heartbreak and adventure wrapped up in the heart of a child!

Still looking for a bunch of YA things: a story about female best friends; a macabre fairy tale retelling; a great mystery; a cute gay or lesbian love story. #MSWL

I'd love more books that can be described as feminist fairy tales--most likely set now, in a world mostly like ours, with a touch of wish fulfillment magic. #MSWL

I updated my #MSWL for 2018! The @PSLiterary query inbox opens on January 8th, and I can't wait to read about your book. mariavicente.com/representation/
