Really craving an epically layered feminist* second world adult fantasy centered on art, politics, and earthy witchy magic.** #MSWL

Currently in the mood for lost histories, fallen gods, magic-infused cities, and dark, gothic woods...not necessarily in the same book. #mswl

Tiffany Shelton, Witch🕯️⛤🌙 @TiffanyDiahann

I'm going to keep shouting this out into the ether until I get it: GIVE ME CONTEMPORARY WITCHES! #MSWL #YA #Adult

#MSWL Charmed or Practical Magic adjacent for me, please.

#MSWL would love a Christmas romance filled with magic realism. Give me Santa, hidden secrets, wishes coming true, North Pole, lots of snow, whatever it is, let me feel the magic!

I know I won't see all the #PitDark pitches, so if you have a gritty, dark story set in Victorian London--maybe with a detective, maybe with some magic--and I miss it, send me a query! #mswl

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

Dear writers: The world needs more amazing #middlegrade voices—maybe YOUR amazing mddle grade voice. Won't you kindly get on that? Sincerely, an editor of middle grade #amediting #amwriting #mswl

Contemporary or contemporary with touches of magic, please and thanks #mswl

I love new, different worlds in fantasy or sci-fi. Magic is cool. Science is sweet. Aliens? Not so much. But, you could surprise me. What about witches? I'm still looking for a witch story. #MG #YA #A #MSWL

The more books I acquire, the more I realize that my brand is 100% “friendship is magic.” Give me your spooky, magical romps with strong relationships! #MSWL

Where's my magical MG? I need some. #MSWL

Anne Thériault @anne_theriault

There’s a post circulating tumblr/Facebook asking why so many tween girls go through a witchy “let’s read fortunes and levitate” sleepover/jr. coven phase. I actually talked to an expert about this exact thing two years ago! medium.com/the-establishm…

I would die for a YA/MG along these lines. #MSWL Real magic or just imagined, doesn't matter. I especially like stories that focus on girl friendships/sisterhood.

Imagine you live in the 19th century. Most restaurants are closed by 8 p.m. Where do you go if you want a meal at a late hour? The answer: Night lunch wagons. pic.twitter.com/Ro4sR7OnxG

Someone write a book for me about these night lunch wagons. Maybe with a hint of magic? Because how could magic not be involved in this gorgeousness?? #mswl

Kaye Dreams of Fluffy Romcoms @gildedspine

This is your Wednesday reminder that if you are a marginalized author writing a magical school, I AM SO HERE FOR IT AND YOU. Write it. Please.

Also, there are no limits to writing magical schools with different functions, experiences and value. Do not cancel yourself out.

Giveth me magical public school in the hood. #MSWL

I also will ALWAYS melt for magical realism with a strong sense of place & GORGEOUS lyrical writing ❤️ #ya #mg #wf #a #MSWL #MR

I binge watched THE WORST WITCH over the weekend. Please, someone, give me an MG like that. All the magic! #MSWL

Re: this thread, if someone wants to write me a fantasy novel about a kid who goes to magic school but realizes the entire structure of the magical world needs to be overthrown, I would be 100% there for that. Bonus points if they have to side with the dark wizards to do it #MSWL twitter.com/dreamoforgonon…

ditto to this #MSWL

@hannahnpbowman @maxgladstone don't forget how centaurs and merfolk aren't classified as people and everyone's like oh that's fine

Rena *nobody sees the bones* Rossner @renarossner

I would really really love to find an adult upmarket, literary novel to work on. Something that will make me cry. Bonus points for magical realism. #MSWL

Me too. 😈 #mswl

Magical realism in MG and YA, especially where the magic is tied to the setting or the season. Place as character is a fav story element for me #MSWL
