I would really love to see the fantasy novel equivalent of those fairy tales where someone has to complete a series of "impossible" tasks to achieve their goal and must think through them rather than fight.

Same here! Adult or YA. #MSWL

Quressa "Tryna be the Beyanna of Agents" Robinson @qnrisawesome

Speaking of Shakespeare, wouldn't mind seeing a modern take on MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING or MIDSUMMERS NIGHT'S DREAM in a YA contemporary or YA/Adult Fantasy.

Of course a POC perspective would be AWESOME!!! #MSWL

There's been a request for a #MSWL now that I'm re-opening to queries. So, a thread on what I most want to see. (This is NOT EXHAUSTIVE! I'm open to all kinds of adult SFF.)

· 10 Jul 2018

Looking for fantasy and science fiction that takes its influences, in terms both of structuring plot and characterizing action, from anime instead of from Western SFF. #mswl

· 9 Jul 2018

I love YA fantasy, and want to see worlds and characters that are fresh. #MSWL

Last week I tweeted a couple things I'm looking for. A refresher: a dark, creepy Fantasy for older MG readers – I love Joan Aiken, Franny Billingsley, Holly Black, Francis Hardinge, Laini Taylor. If you’re writing like this, I want to read! #MSWL

I also want an Adult Fantasy reminiscent of THE CITY OF BRASS--smart, beautiful writing with a great plot that *moves*. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

I'm also looking for BIG WORLDS in SFF. Something commercial and swashbuckling and fun as hell. I want a ROMP. #mswl

· 6 Jul 2018

I'm also looking for upmarket YA Fantasy. I'm a sucker for thoughtful and elegant prose, and deep (not wide) worldbuilding that feels effortless despite it's intricacies. Contemp fantasy, second world fantasy, whatever--it's all great, as long as it sweeps me away. #mswl

Lauren's book is ON SHELVES! @laurenspieller

I'm closing to queries on 8/1/18, so here's a quick run down of my top #mswl items. Please keep in mind: 1) these are my priorities right now, but I'm still considering projects in other categories, & 2) I will re-open to queries on 9/1 so don't hurry! Good > Fast.

Here we go!

I would love to see more Middle Grade in general, but I am particularly excited about contemporary fantasy (fantasy set in our world) and stories inspired by non-western cultures. #mswl

As I said yesterday, I'm opening to queries next Mon & tweeting my wishlist this week. First up: a dark, creepy Fantasy for older MG readers – I love Joan Aiken, Franny Billingsley, Holly Black, Francis Hardinge, Laini Taylor. If you’re writing like this, I want to read! #MSWL

Ways fantasy can be dynamic without relying on Tolkien-inspired landscapes, creatures, or Chosen One tropes:
- Add a second power to the world that isn't humans. Be creative with this: perhaps the king must confer with the birds or frogs before charging to war.

More about my adult fantasy #MSWL - Query me if your story fits!

Naomi Davis @NaomisLitPix

#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.

Still looking for that perfect adult fantasy project! Query me if you've got it! #MSWL

You know what'd be cool to see more of in YA Fantasy? Mythologies no one has read before, like the hundreds of Native American tribes, or the 54 countries and thousands of tribes within Africa, or Haittian or Persian or Hittite. Something that can open our eyes and minds. #MSWL

· 28 Jun 2018

If I missed your #SFFpit pitch, send query & 1st 5 pages in body of email: 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

Kelly @YAFantasyFan

So, fortunately and unfortunately, I have SO MANY fantasy and sci-fi projects that I've signed and that I still have to read and decide, which means I'll probably only like maybe one or two #sffpit pitches today. I'm sorry! But the rest of #TeamCorvisiero will be out in force! pic.twitter.com/INYAOgs8jG

In addition to this, I'm looking for some great YA and adult contemporaries and contemporary romances! 🎉 Also, I'm still on the lookout for a MG author to add to #TheFellowship! ❤️ So if you have something that matches my #MSWL, shoot me a query with the MSWL mention! 😁

Vicki Lame @thedaysbetween

#MSWL an incredibly lush, romantic YA fantasy; novels with "evil boyfriends" (think Damon Salvatore); romantic comedies; millennial focused non-fiction, ripped from the headlines historicals

#MSWL would like to amend to "evil loves who are sometimes redemptive" :D

@NaomisLitPix What kind of YA fantasy fiction you want to see in your query box?

Replying to @safashaqsy

Same as all my adult fantasy #MSWL Tweets! :-)

Islam & Science @IslamScienceNet

Founded by a Muslim woman – Fatima al-Fihri, the University of Al Qarawiyyin (founded as a madrasa-mosque complex) in Fez, Morocco, opened its doors in 859. It is the oldest university in the world which is still operational. pic.twitter.com/3txg7El2CX

Somebody write me the #SFF novel inspired by Fatima al-Fihri and her groundbreaking university. #MSWL
