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:

I feel like this would make a PERFECT picture book, is anyone working on one/interested in working on one? #MSWL

"I want unique cookbook concepts by BIPOC bloggers."

what if I’m deadly serious when I say that a sharp satirical literary take on this is 100% on my #mswl

"In the wellness space, see some of the work I've been doing with Sophie Saint Thomas, specifically her books FINDING YOUR HIGHER SELF and THE LITTLE BOOK OF CBD SELF CARE. I want more like that."

#WritingCommunity

Though I'm not open to queries YET, I plan to open again soon and have updated my #MSWL.

So polish off your manuscripts and add me to your list of agents to query. While I don't have an exact date, I'm thinking Aug/Sep.

I know I'm not open right now, but leaving this #mswl for later.

All the books about libraries. Cozy library/bookstore romances, magical libraries, lost libraries, university libraries.

Like Addie LaRue, or Dr. Who's Library of the Dead. Or the AU!bookstore fic we all love.

"I read widely in YA, and enjoy just about every genre in it. I love moving contemporary reads, thrilling sci-fi, and lush fantasy."
