In honor of Holly Black's Queen of Nothing release today, I'd love more fantasy with complicated court politics like this series. Other examples, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkowski, and Crown Duel/Court Duel by Sherwood Smith. #MSWL

General PSA that I'm only looking for projects in the sci-fi/fantasy genres on the YA side, not adult. #MSWL

Please write me a fantasy world in which Wolfenoot is the dominant winter holiday. chicagotribune.com/dining/ct-food… #mswl

When I reopen my query inbox in January, can someone please send me a fantasy where a cat is the McGuffin? #MSWL

#MSWL -- we need more #YoungAdult titles! We’re currently seeking everything #YA, but you might just steal our hearts with some #queerlit and #fantasyYA. Check out the #submissions page on our website for more info! buff.ly/2X0NLc7

i'm convinced that if anyone ever DID graverob qin shi huang's body, the resulting curse would end all life on earth immediatelyum. why are 90% of high fantasy stories about european history again?
the next addition to my #mswl (this gives me dora and the lost city of gold vibes, a movie i thoroughly enjoyed and a movie that deserves an mcu-level franchise)

There are so many ways to go with this. I'd curious to see a story where this tech is commonly used. Rarely (& clandestinely) used. What we as a society & tech-wise do to combat it. What someone would do if their entire likeness &words were stolen/manipulated this way. #MSWLAs always, my tastes run character-driven with cool plot elements and a fast pace...so the ideal story for me would follow one (or a couple) POVs in this world with an overarching plot that can either be directly related or somehow just tangentially affected by this tech. #MSWL

I've heard of tech like this that could easily be used by anyone representing living people AND voice replications. It's the tech with implications I think I'm most concerned about. That said, I think that fear makes it ripe for SFF mining so...this is a must-see #MSWL for me. twitter.com/Claribel_Orteg…There are so many ways to go with this.

claribel a. ortega pre-order my book, GHOST SQUAD! @Claribel_Ortega
As cool as this is (and as useful as it would be for authors with characters on their covers/character art!) all I can think of is the abuse and propaganda that will come from it 😞 twitter.com/UniverCurious/…I've heard of tech like this that could easily be used by anyone representing living people AND voice replications.

Something I VERY much want more of: submissions by Jewish people who aren't Ashkenazi! I want to see more stories by/about Jewish #POC, Sephardic, Mizrahi, & Ethiopian Jews. Love stories. Fantasy. SciFi. Humor. Historical. Non-scary mysteries. Literary. Bring 'em all! #MSWL

I prefer stories set on Earth, but I love love love portal fantasies. Send me your The Hazel Wood comps.
Erin Clyburn @erin_clyburn · Oct 24
I much prefer my fantasies without world-ending stakes. I like personal conflicts & journeys over save-the-world journeys.

Here's a specific list of the kind of darker lit I want to see. (I really, really love darker lit. It's my favorite.) If your MS fits this list, please query me! #MSWL #PitDarkFor adult & YA, I gravitate more toward character-driven horror/fantasy/sci-fi than plot-driven. I prefer dark lit to reflect truths about humanity through relationships & setting over tangible monsters. I don't really get excited about werewolves, vampires, zombies, demons, etc.
Lynnette Novak @Lynnette_Novak · Oct 24
If I missed your #PitDark pitch, paste query & 1st 5 pages in email. Adult: horror, thriller, SFF, cont. romance, & mystery. YA: thriller, SFF, horror, mystery, & cont. MG: SFF, mystery, cont., & horror. #diversity #MSWL #ownvoices querylynnette (@) theseymouragency (.) com

I would love to read a lighthearted fantasy. I still want conflict and stakes, but it would be nice to read something that is fun and upbeat! #mswl
