And if you're feeling sorta "This character isn't typically the focus in sci-fi/fantasy (the King's chef; the ship Captain's errand boy), so it might not grab any attention..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

And if you're like "I'm not 100% sure this sci-fi/fantasy works for the genre because it's more about the sibling/BFF relationship as they navigate the speculative world..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

And if you're like "I've heard sex sells but really that didn't fit with my sci fi so I left it out, and the relationships are totally different than usual pairings in sci-fi or fantasy, so I'm not sure..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

And if you're like "My sci fi is also maybe a little fantasy, bcuz it has weird fantasy creatures and relationships but is dependent on a structure of advanced science, so I dunno..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

If you're like "Okay, cool, but my fantasy TOTALLY TAKES PLACE INSIDE A VOLCANO and I had to work really hard to make it believable enough for readers to suspend disbelief and accept it..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

If you're like "Well, I have an enchanted forest but it's super weird and wonky and the characters interact with it in wild ways I've never seen in a movie before..." QUERY ME PLZ #MSWL

Expanding on my #MSWL - THREAD:
I want to see wild, original fantasy. So if you're thinking, "Well, my manuscript isn't what ppl typically expect from fantasy... there are no elves or enchanted woods or elemental creatures, but really different fantasy elements..." QUERY ME PLZ

Umm...give it to me first so I can give it to Sarah #mswl

How about an anticolonial twist on the scholar-hero who seeks “lost” or “underutilized” arcana from cultures not their own? #MSWL

Read this @hopkins_exhibit article on the questions that one #SFF work, #BlackPanther, asks of the museum studies field:

I can’t stop thinking about this.

Someone write me a reverse, PoC Howard Carter #SFF novel where cultural artifacts are repatriated to their rightful inheritors. Give me the fantasy or future tech inverse heist novel. #MSWL twitter.com/_iwakeli_i/sta…

Okay so Queens of the Fireburn is an incredible title for a fantasy novel, so if someone could take inspiration from this bit of history and write an epic fantasy about a trio of black women rising up and starting a magical revolution that would be great #mswl #ownvoices

ALSO! #mswl: secondary world low or high fantasy retelling of the rise of Shaka kaSenzangakhona, better known as Shaka Zulu. Please and thank you!

Today's #mswl: secondary world low fantasy inspired by Hannibal's march on Italy.

#MSWL I want witches (bayou, earthy, crystals) in contemporary or hist fic/fantasy. AHS without stereotyping or f/f hate.

#MSWL for MG, I want mature voices. Upper MG storylines. LOVE historical fiction for younger characters, contemporary that makes me like who I'm reading about, urban fantasy/magical realism where the child is strong & proud.

#MSWL I like gritty, I like dark, and I like finding the kernel of light in complicated characters. Especially in Fantasy & Sci Fi. However, not a fan of rape, drug/physical/sexual abuse, or mystery/thriller plots.

#MSWL Urban Fantasy all ages, based off lesser-known legends and myths. Give me creatures that require research, that you don't see in every scary movie.

#MSWL Southern Gothic is high on my list. YA or A; historical fiction/fantasy, contemporary, urban fantasy, magical realism. Bonus points for local legend and bayou storylines.

#MSWL I am DYING for Historical Fiction & Historical Fantasy featuring POC, females in male-dominated industry, LGBTQ+. Also looking for settings other than the overplayed American/European countries

On the lookout for more #sciencefiction and #fantasyfiction. Make my #ManuscriptWishList come true! tridentmediagroup.com/agents/mark-go… #MSWL #MSWishList #SFF #SciFi #EpicFantasy #Fantasy #sciencefictionfantasy
