#MSWL I'm in the mood this weekend to dive into manuscripts with:

🗡️Fantasy with deadly competitions/games and high-stakes

🗡️Rich historical fiction infused with grounded fantasy elements

🗡️Unique retellings

Send them my way if you think we might be a fit! 📚✨

Really hungry for adult/New Adult contemporary romance: sweet, steamy, romcom, poly, why choose, forced proximity, enemies to lovers, slow burn. YA contemporary rom, dark academia, gothic, horror, sf. Adult horror, thriller, psychological. Soft-med fantasy, sf, space opera #MSWL

To go with the new Bluesky life, I thought i'd reshare the updated #MSWL on the Bell Lomax Moreton website [link in bio]. Please have a browse and send me some great books.

Writers, I long to find a spectacular debut YA author to invite onto my list! I love romantasy, fantasy, fairy/folktale retellings, thrillers & anything with an unreliable narrator! If you write this, hit me up - see skylark-literary.com for submission guidelines. 😊♥️ #MSWL

I am also looking for YA horror & mystery/thriller

Sci-fi genre mashups

Romantasy (adult), Epic fantasy + cozy fantasy

Magical MG

Still looking for romantic fantasy & romantasy #mswl

🕷 Happy Halloween 🕷

I'm looking for some very *specific* fantasy/speculative/mystery to fill my *adult* list so I thought I'd share a visual #MSWL

If you have anything that fits, I'd love to see it.

#MSWL yes pls

I’m looking for a similar sense of purpose for MG and YA with a focus on fantasy. But ultimately open to anything that breaks boundaries (in form, topic, etc.) for kids.

…but if you’re writing SFF in these age categories and you don’t think any of this describes your book, try me anyway! I am surprised often and I read so widely in this space that it’s always worth a shot.

Across the board give me:
+ more Austen and Shakespeare retellings (I’m a simple girl)
+ more court intrigue and clever protagonists, from Marie Rutkoski to Natasha Ngan to Arkady Martine I love them in all forms
+ more soft magic (ie no rules)
+ more fantasy mysteries

In YA SFF: I prefer my romance to be a b-plot, and would love more atmosphere-forward storytelling à la Ava Reid or Axie Oh. Especially interested in folktale/myth-inspired stories from underrepresented voices.

In adult SFF: give me big and epic in scope without sacrificing character work. Touchpoints I’ve been thinking of lately are THE STARS UNDYING, BARU CORMORANT, and INK BLOOD SISTER SCRIBE. I love intricate worldbuilding and being tricked by the narrative!
