After talking about this with some very smart folks:
#mswl
I'm now looking for YA fantasy. Preferably epic, with extreme crossover potential. Make it commercial and awesome.
And as always, diverse voices and stories encouraged and welcome.

Inspired by the latest #GodofWar game and #skyinthedeep I am really wanting a dark YA fantasy with the valkyries in it! #MSWL

It's impossible to have too many books set in libraries--#SFF, #WF, #R, #S, #YA. All genres need more books set in libraries. With librarian heroes. #MSWL

Someone please write me an Adult SFF about a mother motivated by ambition, love, and fury. #mswl

Khutulun was the great-great-granddaughter of Genghis Khan. She was a strong fighter and insisted that any man who wished to marry her must defeat her in wrestling, but any man who she beat would have to give her a horse. She wound up with 10,000 horses. twitter.com/xnulz/status/9…Hi writers, I just got off the phone with an editor at a major SFF publisher who specifically mentioned seeing this on my #MSWL and demanded I send it to her if it ever came in.
So.
If you've got it, flaunt it--right into my inbox.

My complete #MSWL is live, and yes, I did watch all of Stranger Things season one in a day - don't judge! Check out what I'm looking for here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/tess…

The hallmark of a lot of urban fantasy seems to be a mish-mash of cross-cultural supernatural folklore and myths. This is cool, but I'd love to see UF with non-Western, culture-specific secret supernatural subcultures. #MSWL (bear in mind I am very picky about UF).Especially if you want to set it in a pre-Globalism period of history where it's even more plausible that these communities would be so insular. I'd love a British Raj UF that's mostly communities of Indian folklore creatures with a handful of British Isles imports. #MSWL

Contemporary fantasy or UF where the stakes aren't cosmic (about saving the world) and the setting feels like a character! (I blame @christineexists for this one). #MSWL

Let’s also have more protagonist moms whose power doesn’t come from a system of patriarchal monarchy, who come to prominence not for whom they married or birthed, but for their independent accomplishments.Let’s see more heroines whose power isn’t derived from proximity to men.
YES SARAH!!! Life for women and women characters does not start and end with marriage/motherhood. We are women before and after marriage and motherhood, with stories to tell there too. #MSWL esp in SFF.

Honestly I want more political fantasy about mothers as heroes orchestrating the rise of their children to power. It happens in history all the time. These women’s stories deserve to be told with magic and hecking dragons.Ooo this. I want this. #mswl

Mom’s never get enough love in fiction. Particularly not SFF. They’re always dead or dying or gone. This is often to give character’s agency because they KNOW their real mothers wouldn’t let them go traipsing off killing dragons.Have a SFF where the MC is a mom? I want to see it. #mswl
