I'll start with a quick blast on what I'm looking for and we'll be talking more about our lists as we go. I'd love some narrative NF with unique perspectives incl. social justice themes, global and/or cross cultural perspectives, pieces on the impact of technology on society.

Actually yes please, send me this! 😂 #mswl twitter.com/okaymoonchild/…

slack brainstorming our #mswl this afternoon

Calling all fantasy writers! I want stories that turn the tables on traditional magical creature tropes. What if rainbows & unicorns aren't good, dragons are soft-hearted, & x cryptid jerky is delicious? Let's flip the script & bring new perspectives. #fantasy #amquerying #mswl

To explain more, when I think of high fantasy: if you’re talking about portals, realms, fae, different fantastical races…. I’m probably not the best fit anti-#MSWL

"I would love to see more gender fluid, trans, masculine-of-centre, and non-binary protagonists across genres."

So @CourierCall is the story that has STOLEN MY HEART this year. I cannot stop listening to it, in all my spare time, I'm in love. This kind of cozy fantasy, slice of life, wholesome content is 100% my #MSWL.

As a reminder, I will be open to queries May 1st, 2023 📅

Please note I ONLY accept submissions through Query Manager, email submissions will remain forever unanswered: QueryManager.com/MacLysaght

🔮 Unabashed minimalism. Ironic disinterest is over, baby! yes YES the tiger is out!

🗡️ Gay-coded villains, frivolously or as a more intentional examination of queerness and what we owe to our queer elders and the generation following

👯 Ensemble casts with charming side characters (I’m an inveterate side character lover)

🚢 Hope and kindness as a prerequisite. Come talk to me about the exquisite examination of compassion and community in the face of annihilation in The Terror season 1

🎟️ Speculative futures not set in American cities

💀 Horror you want to hide from while you keep reading, things that make you say “gross”

🕰️ More mystery in everything! I love a goal. Speculative? Give it a mystery. Contemp romance? Give it a mystery!! Mystery? Go ahead and slap another mystery in there, baby!!!

📽️ Tightly paced, high-tension character driven stories you can’t put down. Slice of life is not for me

🌈 Romantasy and speculative queer love stories. I love space ships/fantasy kingdoms but what I love more is knowing how many beds are in the ship/castle

🤌 Characters who kiss (or should) but dont👏 trust👏 each👏 other👏

2023 #MSWL! As a reminder, I represent BIPOC, queer, & marginalized creators making joy for themselves in SFF & horror for MG, YA, Adult, and Graphic Novel.
My existing MSWL is still a mortifyingly perfect encapsulation of my tastes, but this year I'm looking for even MORE:
