Geeky
Stephanie Winter @readbystephanie · Sep 24
In upmarket fiction, I’m looking for precise angles:
> Period pieces with women breaking into lively professions (think TV or comedy a la I Love Lucy).
> Women in S.T.E.M
> Anything geeky but accessible
> Gender fluid, masc. of centre, and non-binary protagonists. #MSWL

Geeky YA or adult nonfiction pop culture. #MSWL I'm talking geeky like cosplay, Star Trek, a take on manga or anime (HUGE Sailor Moon fan over here) video/board games, etc.

#MSWL I want stories in adult and YA about geeky topics. Think video games, board games, ren faires, historical reenactors, cosplay, and fanfiction.

Someone should really write a Susan Orlean-styled book about the beginning of cosplay or the first comic con or something else equally geeky and send it to me!!

Someone write a geeky YA novel about teens competing in a Street Fighter video game competition so we can call it DOWN RIGHT FIERCE. #MSWL

Looking for smart, funny & unabashedly geeky queer romcoms. Falling in love mid-RP? Theme park princesses finding each other? A heel and a face pretending to be rivals on the mat and lovers behind closed doors? Cosplayed Cap and Bucky searching for each other post-con? #MSWL

#MSWL I would REALLY love a quirky chapter book series with geeky kids, weird monsters, or strange animals (real or mythical). I would prefer this in CB, but I’m open to author/illustrator graphic novels, and MG too. Similar to THE BAD GUYS, or CATSTRONAUTS.

And while on the topic of my nostalgia, I'd love a SF/F reminiscent of things like Cowboy Bebop, FMA:Brotherhood, or even Magic the Gathering. Let your geek flag fly! #MSWL

And on to YA! I'd love a sweet contemporary romance that's "artsy" or "geeky," MAJOR bonus points if you have #disability rep in your story #mswl

I'm also looking for more nonfiction--particularly smart, accessible books about feminism, science, history, or travel; and prescriptive or art/gift books with a geeky subject. Author platform preferred! #mswl

In nonfiction, I’m looking for cookbooks and gift books. I’m particularly interested cookbooks of traditional recipes with a modern flair. In gift books I’d love to see something fun and geeky, or that explore unique and odd topics. #MSWL

I want a YA novel about teens in the mid-90's running B.B.S. systems on their home computers, and getting into various hijinx over modems.
Where are you, my geeky writer? #MSWL

I'd also love to see fantasy worlds that draw on time periods and cultures that we don't traditionally see. I love stories about royalty, like any fantasy geek, but I'd be super interested in fantasy that explores other forms of government as well. #MSWL
