For my MG, right now I really want magical adventure! Send me something fantastical and fun, with a great hook, and friendships that shine. Especially if there are any non-human magical characters incorporated in a fresh way. #MSWL

Gonna drop a few #MSWL tweets as I’ve been going through my queries this weekend (sorry if you’re still waiting on a response—I’m getting there!) and trying to listen to what my gut is craving. I’m focusing on MG and YA, so let’s get started:

I would really love some character-driven YA fantasy that is both dark AND funny. Especially if there is a big eclectic cast and truly unique magic. Voicey characters but still high stakes and a world with details that awe, from city life to wildlife. #MSWL

Would love to see some magical realism in my inbox #mswl for all those who are #amwriting

Magical Realism

#MSWL for MG, I want mature voices. Upper MG storylines. LOVE historical fiction for younger characters, contemporary that makes me like who I'm reading about, urban fantasy/magical realism where the child is strong & proud.

#MSWL Southern Gothic is high on my list. YA or A; historical fiction/fantasy, contemporary, urban fantasy, magical realism. Bonus points for local legend and bayou storylines.

Also would love to see some #upmarket women's fiction w/ a unique hook and/or a hint of magical realism #MSWL #WF #MR

#MSWL a totally delicious YA romantic comedy that is diverse; still trying to find my perfect Paris novel (YA or adult); a historical YA mystery (think Jennifer Donnelly's These Shallow Graves); magical realism 4-ever

I finished another book by Sara Addison Allen this weekend, which means my #MSWL for today is a feel good women's fiction, family story. With or without magical realism. #MSWLMadness

"Magic always comes with a price". I love consequences. So much of the fantasy I love is driven by characters make decisions and then dealing with the consequences of those actions.

#mswl I'd also really love a fantasy similar to Tanya Huff's FIFTH QUARTER. Assassins, magic, forbidden romance, and conflicting loyalties, oh my!

YA Fantasy involving a twisted circus ring leader and the people who are stuck performing underneath him. Give me darkness, witches, chained magic, and all the evil. ❤️ #MSWL

A quick note about my #MSWL - I am always excited to read new fantasy,but I am not currently looking for urban fantasy, or anything vampire/werewolf/fae.

I AM looking for new creatures/worlds/magic systems, new structures/societies,or less-often-seen societies made into fantasy.
