I'd like a MG Fantasy that features lesser-known creatures of myth and legend (be that because they don't figure as prominently in mythology, or because they are from traditions ignored by the European-centric literary canon). #mswl pic.twitter.com/LZ06ndP0L0

Always #mswl for this in MG & YA. Historical fic, urban fantasy, and magical realism!

Thao Le @ThaoLe8

BUT I want to see some modern magic realism, and some contemporary fantasy (think portal magic, magical bakeries/flower shops, lighthearted time travel in the vein of the movie About Time). Again, more modern/contemporary and less urban fantasy. #mswl

Yes, please send @ThaoLe8 all of these things (especially POC) when she reopens in a few weeks so I can buy it all from her. K thanks, bye! #mswl

Contemporary or historical romance with a hint (or more) of magic. #mswl

I'd love to see someone make up new elements for element-control magic rather than use the classical elements. Not sure what they'd be, but it'd be an interesting change of pace. #MSWL

Ooh, this sounds fantastic (in YA/MG). #MSWL

“Fantasy (urban or otherwise) dealing with the diaspora of a magical community—how does the magic change/thrive?” @kurestinarmada #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

If you write books with a hint of magic or otherworldliness, I wanna see them! Books like THE COTTINGLEY SECRET, THE ESSEX SERPENT, or A SECRET HISTORY OF WITCHES.

I’ve been listening to THE GREATEST SHOWMAN album all night—it’s so good! Now I’m craving some #circus themed submissions in my inbox right w/ a hint of #magicalrealism (& by circus, I don't mean clowns!) #A #WF #YA #MG #MR #MSWL

#MSWL Adult fantasy with wild new magical systems/belief structures/world structures. Lace the magic into the world in surprising, original ways. Vivid settings, towering stakes, dynamic voices. Confident, unique perspectives. LGBTQ+/Diverse characters a plus.

Give me a character driven magical realism book with only a bare hint of the magic. #MSWL

I want a literary book that is not contemporary. Give me a literary fantasy, magical realism, historical fiction. #MSWL

I love fairytales, the darker and more dangerous the better.

I love stories about girls with troubled pasts.

Stories about magic, and its cost.

Take me on a journey that makes me never want to come home.

#MSWL

Magic that has a price, and situations that make it worth the risk. So much yes. #mswl

Now that it's out in the world, I can officially say:

Fantasies like THE HAZEL WOOD by @mimi_albert are on my forever and ever #MSWL. pic.twitter.com/9AzJM2pMMT

I saw @shapeofwater last night, and as I sat in the theater, enraptured, I realized I wanted to read as many books as possible with that kind of incredible storytelling and perfectly executed magical realism. (YA and adult!) #MSWL

Agreed! #MSWL

It's been a long hiatus, but I'm reopening to unsolicited fiction on February 1. I've updated my #MSWL and hope to see lots of stories that sidestep into magic, mystery, horror, or adventure in my inbox next month! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/alic…
