#MSWL I'm open to submissions! But hurry! Just until 20 Dec, and I'm looking for:
- Adult space: near-future, light scifi that feel like they're set 10 minutes into the future, where there's just one or two elements that are otherworldly. Char-driven & strong pacing a must. No hard SciFi

- Adult space: Horror that is sometimes beautiful with a setting that can feel like a character. No splatterpunk. Deeper psychological themes a plus. Strong pacing & character driven a must.

- Adult space: Contemp light fantasy & magic systems that can be mistaken for just things out of the ordinary happening to happen. Grounded in the real world a must. Strong pacing & char driven only please.

In all of these, deeply emotional/surprisingly beautiful is a plus.

Born on mountain time, The Witches of El Paso really resonated with me. It’s got an atmospheric gothic vibe in a city filled with community and family drama. I always love it when the setting comes to life in a nostalgic way and want to see more of this kind of work in my query inbox ✨ #mswl

briar makes her home in a forest of which stories are told of the bloodthirsty monster/vampire who haunts the woods from river to treeline...

no human sacrifices, just a doctor who thinks creating a lil shrine and leaving blood transfer bags is a good idea. doctor/briar romance, maybe? #mswl

as an #mswl specifically, I'd love a Viera-esque witch protagonist who can commune with the spirit realm and has a connection with a spirit that could help or destroy the world.

it's very Korra-esque but without the manipulation of setting a great evil spirit free. more like therapy adventures?

later im gonna do a lil #mswl of league champions whose stories and lore would make really cool books! excluding the arcane babies bc there is no point in rehashing greatness

okay first up is AURORA! a dimension hopping witch who can shift between the physical and spiritual realms. during her research and travels, she happened upon a wayward demigod who became twisted and lost to time.

As I’m thinking about my #MSWL for when I reopen, I really want some unhinged romance. Like Horror Romance or something with a vigilante “take down the patriarchy” vibe. Maybe a psychological suspense romance, though I’m not sure what that looks like. Maybe something dark or why choose.
