#SFF #MSWL: give me MCs who don't have/can't rely on natural talent—who've had to work harder and smarter to earn what they've accomplished.

#SFF #mswl Nerdy MCs! I'd love a scholar/archaeologist/scientist hero whose main goal isn't saving the world (even if they end up doing so).

Shannon E. Powers @S_E_Powers

A YA Game of Thrones-style fantasy but inspired by Latin America. Think the golden (or silver, ha) age of cities like Potosí. #mswl

YA/MG fantasy where the magic is essential to the story. Can be beautiful, arcane, messy, inconvenient, whatever, but feels integral. #MSWL

In SF, I love anything set in space. Esp. big-idea SF (think A FIRE UPON THE DEEP), but also spaceship adventure books. #MSWL

In both fantasy and SF, I'm a sucker for books about revolutions and characters facing only bad choices. #MSWL

Within fantasy, I'd love a beautiful world with beautiful magic. But I also tend toward books that explore the cost of violence. #MSWL
