Watched #FreeSolo last night. I’d love to see some dangerous rock climbing fantasy, sci-fi, or romance manuscripts in my inbox! #mswl

So... does anyone have an Iditarod-like manuscript for fantasy or sci-fi? Or really anything involving racing kind of along the lines of The Scorpio Races. I’d love to see it! #mswl

I’d really love a YA or MG fantasy rooted in Korean culture right now! I’ve been looking to sign once since I’ve started agenting, so yeah, let’s catch this great white whale! #mswl

#MSWL Epic fantasy that asks big picture questions about relevant issues we are facing today, or will face in the near future. W/fully explored settings I've never seen before, women w/unique skills/roles & powerful personalities, and big, high stakes plots.

I'd love to find some more SFF novels that are fun, moving, diverse, and accessible.
My favorite SFF read last year was by @pengshepherd, and I'm smitten with the works of @KatWithSword @DelilahSDawson and @ChuckWendig.
The City of Brass by @SAChakrabooks is a perfect book.

I do a lot of fantasy, but I also do a ton of contemporary, and I'd love to see more big-hook stories set in our world. If you want a great example of hooky, high-concept contemporary YA I love that we rep here @FolioJr: DUMPLIN' and TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE. #MSWL

@BookEndsJessica @bookendslit What are the current trends in middle grade fictional series genre and what would you like to see more of or read personally if you were looking at chapter books for middle grade? #askagentMe personally, I'm always looking for MG contemporary and fantasy genres. I'd really love to find my creepy coraline-esque book as well as a first crush LGBT book (a la the animated short 'In a Heartbeat') #AskAgent #MSWL

Today I learned about the Harpy eagle, and I wish I hadn't. That motherfucker is scheming to kill me. I know it. pic.twitter.com/VK7A7irx6kSomebody write me a fantasy novel starring a harpy eagle shapeshifter. I need more terrifyingly weird-looking Animagi in my life. #MSWL

Ooo, let's see:- SFF with room for domesticity, introspection, and relationship-level stakes rather than/alongside apocalyptic stakes, inclusive of non-romantic relationships
- Interesting/experimental story structure
- Marginalized authors using and/or deconstructing SFF tropes twitter.com/FlourishStorie…
Agreed! #MSWL
