Currently listening to Binge Mode Harry Potter, rewatching ATLA, next rewatch Dawson’s Creek. Next read? Hopefully some YA or MG featuring a ride or die group of friends. A story where friendship and love is central to the protag’s success. #MSWL

Additionally when I do open to queries again, I really want some fun, sappy YA. The world is such a stressful place right now and I'm personally trying to read books that are a little more light-hearted right now #MSWL (coping w/ the world as we speak)
Dawn @ Red Sofa Literary -Taking Queries thru 9/30 @RedSofaLiterary · Feb 25
I'm very closed to queries right now, but when I do open to queries, I'd love a book that focuses on this. When I heard this on RadioLab, my mind was blown. I had no idea. I have many many questions. #MSWL wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radio…

Hades is a librarian, Persephone a devoted patron for the half the year she's there for work. Try as he might to woo her, she's always more interested in his books. After spending her absence writing his own, he sneaks it on the shelves hoping she falls for him through his words.I would read this novel. #mswl

Alice Diamond, Queen of the Forty Elephants, an all female crime syndicate in London during the early 1900s. They were extremely good at evading police, had an entire network of fences to sell their stolen goods, and spent a lot of their earnings on decadent parties. twitter.com/MykeCole/statu…#mswl how has this not been novelized!

In Adult Horror #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Historical and/or sub-genre horror
- Literary-esque voice
- Not a slasher movie plot
- MAIN CHARACTER DRIVEN, not monster/killer driven
- I love moody, atmospheric, and creepy af
- Creative/unique monsters (if applicable)
- Gothic a plus

In Adult Thrillers & Mystery #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Female driven & #ownvoices
- Literary-esque OR super voicey commerical prose
- Fresh ideas and new takes welcome but it must fit the typical plot structure for these categories - if you don't know what those are, look it up.

It's been a while since I've done a #MSWL and I try not to b/c honestly, sometimes I don't know what I want until I see it - but I know some of y'all find these useful so here goes...In Adult SFF #MSWL I'm partial to:
- Fresh twists & unique concepts
- I love all kinds: dystopia, post apoc, space opera, high fantasy, low, magical realism, urban, etc - but it HAS to be different than what's already out there.
- Mash ups and new takes most welcome

One of the hardest thing about querying agents is knowing what’s actually a fit for their lists... so I’m excited to share my #MSWL with everyone! manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega… take a look to see my specific interests and fav reads!

My father belongs to a scientific academy that always has exactly 350 members. Someone has to die before new members are admitted. He looked horrified when I told him that was a perfect motive for murder. This is why we need STEAM, not STEM.

I'm always on the lookout for good horror, especially contemporary with a feminist bent! #MSWL
