As always: this long thread is just my opinion. But I hope this thread further fleshed out why I want concepts of fantasy expanded for my #MSWL - FANTASY IS LIMITLESS. If you're #amwriting fantasy or at #querytip stage, this thread is what I would love to see. #askagent

I love this list, but most of these titles are missing a key feature of Ocean's 8: female leads. Please send me all your women-led fantasy heists books!! #mswl

#MSWL, adult edition: epistolary; multi-generational family saga; magical realism; contemporary fantasy; speculative; southern Gothic; millennial fiction; romantic comedy

#MSWL, YA edition: The Hating Game, but YA; romantic comedy; epistolary; poppy feeling Fantasy; super dark fantasy; contemporary fantasy (think The Raven Boys); historical mystery; magical realism

#MSWL adult fantasy (epic/high) in world inspired by less-seen-in-SFF cultures. No vamps, weres, witch/wiz, god/Angel, fae/elf, elemental/spellcasting etc tropes - instead show me NEW magic, NEW creatures, or wild twisty fantasy world/political structures.

In case you missed it: my updated #MSWL for Adult Fantasy! I love how so many writers respond to these and query me. If you write adult fantasy and your work fits the preferences in this thread, QUERY ME! #amwriting #amquerying #querytip

A quick reminder!!!
I posted my fantasy #MSWL in a Tweet thread yesterday. Looking forward to seeing queries!

Is it weird that I seriously want a Valkyrie type of fantasy with an odd twist that doesn't quite make them Valkyrie?

...but it's the same type of idea?

Do my #MSWL tweets ever make sense?

A meeting today made me think: I’d LOVE to see a huge, sweeping pre-Columbian epic fantasy novel in my inbox.

Before the Europeans landed and ruined everything, there were vibrant, sophisticated, and competitive empires in the Americas. That’s as epic fantasy as anything. #MSWL

Show me something bizarre and outside the normal, with a dynamic fantasy structure, journeys and trickery and twists. Show me how cunning, courage, and wit can make any character's magic win - or save - the world. Show me dialogue that sparks with character and voice. #mswl

So show me a chef, a medicine woman, a food runner, a hairdresser, a shoemaker, an assistant who has the potential to outshine their superior but has yet to discover/reveal it. Let their magic be small but let them find a way to make it ignite in their favor. #mswl

#MSWL high stakes, character driven fantasy w/intricately realized worlds, unique fantasy/magical systems&new creatures. Fun, original political systems, visually dynamic settings, characters with emotions that rip me from my life and plunge me into the pages.

Okay kiddies, stepping away for a bit but will be back. Keep 'em coming. Thanks for those who've reached out already & if you've got some POC genre-mashing sci-fi/fantasy YA or otherwise, that reads like funk or jazz, or another regional patiois...bring it! #MSWL #PitMad

#mswl: be it contemp, fantasy, sci-fi, let's see sex positivity.

Give me a character whose sexual feelings are a crucial part of but not the entirety of her identity. I want characters who enjoy sex bc hey it feels good & sex scenes that don't necessarily have emotional import!

Just in case our #MSWL...POC Intersectional work, magical funk realism-w/lush, succulent prose that dribble down your chin. Genre mashing/bending SFF. LGBTQ +, YA, Romance, Women's, Steam, Solar, Cyber punk, Gaslamp, Literary Fiction, Suspense/Thriller, Memoir w/platform.

If I missed your #PitMad pitch, send query & 1st 5 pages in body of email to: querylynnette (at) theseymouragency (dot) com. Adult: fantasy, thriller, contemporary romance, rom-com, mystery & sci-fi. YA: fantasy, sci-fi, horror, contemporary, thriller, historical & mystery. #MSWL

Updated my #MSWL page!! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/nata…

Actual #mswl disability rep that reflects my *And So many others'* reality and is fantasy jokes regarding trauma.

Would love to see more YA high fantasy and MG contemporary fantasy in my inbox right now. Blow me away with elaborate worlds and magic, please! #MSWL
