#MSWL Adult-only paranormal & urban fantasy with or without romance, please. Slow burn with heart-pounding tension is a major plus! Or brotherhood/sisterhood-type group who would destroy the world if you hurt one of them. Love found families, too. More at

#MSWL Genre-bending with a stellar one-line hook! I adore reading surprising genre mashups, especially in the fantasy, SF, and horror spaces, or something fun like HOW TO KILL A GUY IN TEN DATES

This is a high priority for me in YA in particular!

For YA & Adult, I’m looking for grounded fantasy. I’m not typically the one for fantasy-fantasy. I love a “our world but weird/witchy/magical/supernatural.” NINTH HOUSE is one of my all-time favorites (I have a tattoo for it) & I also loved working with S.Isabelle on her debut YA, THE WITCHERY #MSWL

One more #MSWL day!

I am on the hunt for fantasy! YA/NA/adult. Grounded worldbuilding, complex characters, propulsive plot. Sweep me away!

Some recent favorite reads have been:
THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH by Rachel Gillig
THE MAID AND THE CROCODILE by Jordan Ifueko
THE RAVEN SCHOLAR by Antonia Hodgson

I’d love fiction with magical realism, historical fiction, contemporary fantasy, romance/romcoms, epic/high fantasy, LitRPG, mystery, or sci‑fi. Blend them? Great. Fantasy + mystery? Great. Magical realism + historical? Great. Set in Latin America, Africa, Asia, or about diaspora lives? Great #MSWL

#MSWL I’m on the hunt for grounded, accessible science fiction and dystopias. Think clones, time travel, and new tech here on earth that are accessible to more general readers and explore near future-feeling possibilities.

I’d also love a science fantasy and second world science fiction!

in my fantasy. Just with a more unique plot than most romantasy. I want stories that feel like epic fantasy but with intimate stakes or character driven. I want to see all kinds of representation in fantasy. #MSWL

My heart will always be with any kind of fantasy! All subgenres but I've really been feeling cozy adjacent lately; think cozy but with higher stakes. I'm not looking for pure examples of romantasy with tons of tropes, but I do want romance 1/2 #MSWL

#MSWL I love fantasies inspired by non-western folklore and cultures, and am on the hunt for C Drama inspired fantasy that captures a sweeping sense of history and high stakes relationships.

Send me all the alternate/parallel history fantasies, Studio Ghibli-esque fantasies, and fresh worldbuilding

#mswl it would be fun to see a labor organizing romance. maybe they have a professional rivalry at different companies but they connect while trying to unionize their respective workplaces. maybe something else! maybe labor rights in a fantasy setting!

#MSWL A very specific thing I'd like to see: a fantasy or a historical where the main character uses traditionally feminine skills to their advantage (like hiding coded messages in embroidery, for instance) rather than being dismissive of it.
