Right now I really want to see more soft fantasy. Soft characters, soft world, soft magic. If the story had a physical shape, it would be plushie. #MSWL

A sweeping MG or YA fantasy with epic stakes, bold themes, lush writing, and relatable characters. Bonus points for series potential. MG and YA fantasy is always at the top of my #MSWL and in these times, I especially want to lose myself in a smart, well-crafted world.

More just we see alot of stabby stab in fantasy but what if there was a main character who said no. I just love how inspiring Doss was, saving lives. #MSWL #YA

#MSWL a YA fantasy HACKSAW RIDGE. This was a war movie that felt so different to me because of who Desmond Doss was.

Just wrote this in a bio for @SCBWI and thought I’d share #MSWL ✌️

Day 34: I have one solitary crisp, white eyebrow hair. Pajamas have fused to my body. I eat pickles for breakfast now.

#mswl

#MSWL - Anything that feels high concept and cinematic in YA, whether it’s sci-fi, fantasy, or contemporary with a speculative twist. Stories with big “what if” premises.

#MSWL - middle grade or YA graphic novel series, whether contemporary, contemporary with a twist of magic, or fantasy. Especially would love to find a great contemporary series with a great concept.

#MSWL - MIDDLE GRADE. Any and all middle grade! I am hungry for it: standalone contemporary, sweeping fantasy series, sci-fi, horror, you name it. I’d love something high concept, like CITY OF EMBER, NEVERMOOR, ARU SHAH & THE END OF TIME, etc.

#MSWL I will rep it! High-fantasy Rom-Com! Pleasssseee...

tonight’s #mswl: this protagonist. she is beautiful and powerful and just *everything.* tell me her story. #sff

An epic MG or YA fantasy with lush world building and high stakes. Think WE HUNT THE FLAME. #mswl

Also, I think I would be willing to accept high fantasy if it were a RomCom. The closest thing I can think to comp to this is Princess Bride. We need more. #romancelandia? #MSWL

I would love to see a funny, exciting #UF (Urban fantasy). Deets on how to query me here: cityowlpress.com/queries/ Deets on my preferences here (please read): enigmaticeditor.blogspot.com/p/likesdislike… #MSWL #querytip

Would love to see some brilliant #fantasy in our submissions inbox this weekend. To give an idea what I enjoy, I've recently read and loved @nkjemisin's Broken Earth trilogy, The Poppy War by @kuangrf, and the Rigante books by David Gemmell. #askagent #mswl (no dragons pls)
