“I enjoy light contemporary spec/fantasy. Think the CW’s Nancy Drew in book form.” @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Great question, Kim! Yes, I represent #MG #fantasy. That part of my #MSWL should be read [MG & YA (magical realism & SF)]. Cheers!

In today's episode of my #mswl book vibes as music, I present the Siberian folk band, @Otyken_official. If this resonates with you, your heritage, your ms, I am dying to read it! 💛
We NEED unrepentant indigenous protagonists---especially in fantasy! 💛

Spent my weekend reading everything by Tessa Bailey I could get my hands on, and now I'm desperate for a fantasy romance (sans fae) with that perfect ratio of steam to plot #MSWL

I’m starting to acquire🌟 (slowly, but it’s happening)!! Agents, I’d love to connect!!

My #MSWL can be found here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nico…

My manuscript wishlist is live! Learn more about the nonfiction, fiction, and YA queries I'm interested in, and if you have a project that seems like a good fit, please send it my way!

Querying authors, we're looking for Christian #YA / #YAFantasy, including fairytale retellings w/ a unique approach. Must be tailored for the Christian market and you need a strong platform. No DMs. See submission guidelines: rachellegardner.com/submissions #MSWL #InspyBooks #amwriting

#MSWL (agented only) - YA and adult - Gothic horror or fantasy, would love a fantasy that reads like a fun romp (like This Vicious Grace), vampires, witches, morally gray characters

again summarizing some recent #mswl for the timeline!

Fat BIPOC characters
Indigenous stories
Autistic BIPOC creators

“Unique, genre-blending romance novels. For example, The Plus One by Sarah Archer or any of Roselle Lim’s romantic contemporary fantasy novels. Give me an adult rom-com in space, or with magic. Let’s get weird and swoony.” @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

New #MSWL item: A prolific Novella series (25-50K words) that is super spicy and falls into the sci-fi/fantasy/paranormal/UF categories. One idea? Superheroes and villains.

I am still waiting on a poison fantasy, FYI. #mswl

#MSWL:
MG Genres I’m looking for: fantasy, contemporary, mystery, historical, horror, light/near-future sci-fi

some video game comps i would LOVE to see include
- final fantasy (especially XII, the aesthetic of kingdoms and sky pirates and a partnership like balthier and fran's? swoon)
- assassin's creed, where the past and present have intertwining plots that are relevant to each other

if there are any bipoc writers can comp their novel to a final fantasy game, i'm in. please query me. like, just so everyone is aware.
and with that, I will start a new #MSWL thread!

Ooooh, I'm here for this! #MSWL for when I hope back up to queries.
