Because I suck at organizing tweet threads on mobile: here's an expansion of my #MSWL for fantasy (adult, but I'll consider YA too) #amwriting #amquerying #querytip
I'm not trashing established tropes in fantasy.
I'm saying: Do not feel bound by them.
Fantasy is limitless.

As always: this long thread is just my opinion. But I hope this thread further fleshed out why I want concepts of fantasy expanded for my #MSWL - FANTASY IS LIMITLESS. If you're #amwriting fantasy or at #querytip stage, this thread is what I would love to see. #askagent

This one, too, but I’d love to see a twist on the real story. Surprise me. #MSWL —> A Clarinetist’s Girlfriend Didn’t Want Him to Leave. So She Crushed His Dreams. via @NYTimes nyti.ms/2Mt1oIU?smid=n…

It might kill me o read it but #MSWL. cnn.com/2018/06/14/us/…

At the end of the day, I am looking strong writers who can tell engaging KID friendly stories. #MSWL

Lyrical books will always be some of my favorites, but then tend to be quieter books so I am looking for lyrcial books that have a hook. #MSWL

I'd like to find a solid author-illustrator. Feel free to check out my pinterest to see my illustration tastes! I am super picky on this one. #MSWL

I want a really strong NF PB biographies. Going too obscure makes the book too nice, but I want books telling us things we never know.

I also want hidden history NF. #MSWL

As a first gen, I totally want a PB that talks about the highs/lows of being in two cultures. #MSWL

"Multi POV, time slip or dual past/present narrative structure women’s fiction, historical, domestic suspense, or upmarket like THE ALICE NETWORK, THE SUBWAY GIRLS." @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

I'm sure a lot of people will be saying this, but I would like a million more books and movies like Ocean's 8. Not just for me, but for the eight-year-old girl, dreaming. #MSWL

#MSWL the house down

I love this list, but most of these titles are missing a key feature of Ocean's 8: female leads. Please send me all your women-led fantasy heists books!! #mswl

THIS HAS BEEN ON MY #MSWL FOR TWO YEARS, GET ON IT PEOPLE.

Not only do I NEED to find this shop #GF, but there is a book in here I desperately need to read. #MSWL women's fiction or suspense or mystery? You decide.

As a reader, I read widely and want to reflect that in my list. Diverse voices and characters are also very much welcome on my list. And, as always, I want the book of your heart (please send via your wonderful agent or future wonderful agent) #MSWL
