8 - Couples (or throuples) ready to take a stand and burn down the world for each other. Bonus if they’re queer!

7 - AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. If your book feels like Zuko/Katara fan fic, Daphne will love it. I’m more of an Uncle Iroh guy myself.

6 - Books featuring disabled or chronically ill characters written by disabled or chronically ill authors.

5 - Fantasy romance spicy enough to make me blush in public. Think Kimberly Lemming, Scarlett St. Clair or Elise Kova.

4 - Queer fantasy, queer SF, queer dark academia, queer Gothic, queer roadtrips, queer retellings, queer… you get the gist.

3 - Non-Western epic fantasy like THE JASMINE THRONE and THE FINAL STRIFE. We’re looking for authenticity, a strong voice, and something that feels fresh.

2 - Speaking of Ghibli... Cosy fantasy! From HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (film or book) to LEGENDS & LATTES and the MONK AND ROBOT series, we’re here for chill, low-stakes, slice-of-life adventures.

1 - First up, anything with a Ghibli vibe, whether it’s the magical bathhouse world of SPIRITED AWAY, the warring nature spirits of PRINCESS MONONOKE, or the heartwarming atmosphere of KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE.

With so much amazing genre writing out there, I want to share a glimpse of the kind of diverse, smart, and engaging SFFH we’re looking to publish at @Daphne_Press #MSWL #LBF23

I am going to be open for submissions from May 8 through May 31st, so prep those queries! My #MSWL is updated so you know what I am looking for. manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/liz-…

#MSWL I want to see a dragon that brings ruin by returning all the gold he's horded, thereby destroying the global economy. Bonus points if he does it out of spite because he's tired of everyone trying to take it.

Wait omg me too! #mswl

Also #mswl (thanks for this @Antoinight lol)

As 4/15, I am completely caught up on queries.

Still looking for author/illustrators!

I'm very hungry for MG and YA non-fiction.

We are going back to the moon. Send me your space race non-fiction! The Right Stuff for kids! Voyager 1 is turning 50 soon! Give me SPACE!

"Time periods I like to read about: 1920s-present day. I don't read a lot of historical fiction older than that (like FOUR WINDS, OUR WOMAN IN MOSCOW, and Beatriz Williams in general)."
