as I’m opening to queries in a few days, it’s time for a proper #mswl . I’m primarily looking for YA/adult SFFH and serious trade non-fic in the broad history/sociology/archaeology space. I’m very keen on the literary end of genre, as well as commercial stories that say something about society. 1/?

also I am reading @sapphomancer .bsky.social’s Metal from Heaven and I’m only a chapter or two in and this is some of the most insane, voicey, incredible writing I’ve ever read. bravo.

ALSO looking for:
- Historical mysteries with a feminist bent (1920's, late Regency, Victorian era)
--------------------------------------------------
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.

Another visual #mswl (& a way to show off some favorites)
If you have anything that fits, I'd love to see it.
*please note, I do not represent these titles.*

…and (even with the QM shutdown) I’m hoping to get back to everyone by the end of the year. So, if you haven’t heard from me yet, thank you for your patience!
As for 2025, here’s an updated #MSWL of what I’d love to see in the inbox. Looking forward to some exciting projects next year!
