Myth

A couple things I REALLY want to read right now.
Historical YA with no magic, especially if its gothic/southern gothic.
Romantic Comedies, but with a new twist or perspective. Example: diverse backgrounds, gender-bending, or a retelling of Shakespeare/fairtales/myths. #mswl

Hey, exciting news! My #mswl page is officially up and running (and perhaps unnecessarily detailed), so hit me with your best shot, query people :)

I hadn't updated my actual #MSWL page since starting the new agency, but I did so today--if you're interested, you can find a more detailed discussion of what I'm looking for in submitted projects this coming year here:

Rick Riordan @camphalfblood
My publisher tells me that after only a year in operation the Rick Riordan Presents imprint has a million books in print. That’s a million #ownvoices stories in the hands of readers & we’re just getting started. Thanks to everyone for your support!rickriordan.com/rick-riordan-p… pic.twitter.com/TAeBVfv8NP
Yessss multicultural mythology all day. #MSWL I would LOVE to see more of these #ownvoices queries.

For whatever reason, I’m really craving some historical MG, YA, and Adult right now. Scotland history and mythology in the Jacobites time, Louis the XIV court intrigue, French Revolution YA, Spanish Civil War, House of Savoy unification of Italy, Russian Revolution, etc.. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/4SMHicEnnJHISTORICAL in YA and Adult! Love some court/palace intrigue, especially if in a more unknown place in literature. (SEE TWEET ATTACHED FOR INFO!) I’m also always looking for my super feminist/independent US historical a la Ruby from Cold Mountain. #MSWL twitter.com/litagentkelly/…

I want Urban Fantasy with myths and legends based far out of the usual commercial scope. Give me South American creatures, the Philippines, Eastern Island, New Zealand. What's the boogeyman there? I want to know! #MSWL

I love a fractured fairy tale! But please surprise me with something new. And while talking about fairy tales and myths, I'd love a MG fantasy with the cultural specificity and the fresh contemporary voice of Sayantani DasGupta's THE SERPENT'S SECRET. #MSWL
Laurel Symonds @LaurelSymonds · Sep 24
Fantasy, but make it fresh: unique settings, unusual formats, underrepresented mythology, magical realism, paranormal (yes, paranormal!). I've seen a lot of queries comping to GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE and MY LADY JANE. Keep 'em coming! #MSWL

I would really love a horror novel that features Chinese mythology.

Would love to see middle-grade fantasy, particularly inspired by MENA mythology #MSWL
Erica Bauman @Erica_Bauman · Sep 24
Forever and always, more retellings of lesser known mythology, fairy tales, and classical lit. Especially if it blends with an unexpected genre. #MSWL
Maria Vicente @msmariavicente · Sep 24
I'm consistently wishing for more Middle Grade novels in my inbox, especially ones based on myths and traditions from various cultures. I love learning about regional histories, real or not, through stories and lore. #MSWL

I keep thinking I'll stop my #MSWL tweets, but then ideas pop into my brain and I wonder... today, I'd die for a twisty thriller with a truly surprising turn set in India, possibly involving Hindu mythology and magic or some kind of strange tech that borders on magic.Still waiting... #WritingCommuntiy #mswl #thriller
