Oceans Eight meets Leverage but with BIPOC reclaiming stolen artifacts #MSWL

I love magical realism that feels full lived-in, like Savvy #MSWL

I'd love to get a character-driven police procedural in the vein of Tana French. #MSWL

I'd love to see more contemporary YA and MG that makes me laugh, including, but not exclusively, rom-coms. Additionally, I would love retellings where the story is told with the former antagonist becoming the protagonist. #MSWL

#MSWL A knight/guard who doesn't or doesn't fully identify as male, and where they don't have to hide their gender or sexual orientation and it's perfectly accepted. The story isn't about gender or sexual preferences, but is simply a natural part of fully accepted life.

I like workplace satire. The more absurd the better. #MSWL

Steampunk fantasy all the way. I would love some new plot for a world like Treasure Planet #MSWL

I don't do pure fantasy novels, but I am looking for books like THE HAZELWOOD that are set in a contemporary world but have fantastical elements. #MSWL

Ok! Supernatural creatures #MSWL:

- super gross/scary mermaids or sirens; no Disney here
- ghosts, demons (but please no angels vs. demons)
- obscure legends (think the Grimm or Supernatural tv shows)
- Swamp monsters
- Harpies/Furies
- Asian inspired like Jorogumo or Nukekubi

Lunchtime at @bookendslit finds @jamerrson & I discussing #MSWL ideas and some plot hooks we would both love to see. Plane crashes & bucket lists lead the chat as well lost in the wilderness stories. For me, these are almost always for an adult audience.

I like literary, high concept sci-fi in the vein of Ray Bradbury or Philip K. Dick. Bradbury in particular was great at really character-driven, emotion-driven stories, whether they were sci-fi, horror or contemporary. That's what I'm looking for in sci-fi. #MSWL

#MSWL I have LITERALLY been begging for YA Fantasy rooted in a Native American tribe's mythology. If any native writers feel confident enough to send me their work, I'd be so happy to read it!

#MSWL I had put this out before, but... can I get Greer's story from Reign with Greer being in love with the cook instead of the POV of Mary, Queen of Scots royalty-like story? Greer is definitely my favorite romance.

Happy #MSWL Day! I'm looking for commercial, literary and upmarket fiction for both adult and YA. I love mysteries, historical, magical realism, myth retellings, novel retellings, psychological thrillers/suspense, psychological/literary horror...

#MSWL I had a MG Wolf shapeshifter story slip through my fingers and I was slightly devastated. If you have one (and they're not actually called werewolves), I want it. I'm still hesitant on the vampires unless done differently, but wolves... Wolves are a must!

Hi @wrekehavoc and anyone else with a similar question! I'm not open to general queries yet but if you have something that fits in with my #MSWL you may send your query to susan@awfulagent.com

Otherwise, in nonfiction: culture essays, sports (as long as it comes with a broader non-sport ramification), history, science, all those upmarket NF categories. #MSWL

#MSWL As always, I'm so in love with YA. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Contemporary, Historical, etc.. The things I'm not all that into are actually time travel (in any age range) and alternate dimensions (as of right now...little tired of them...).

#MSWL I want a middle grade that reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.

I REALLY want a YA or Adult ghost hunting novel. Still hunting for that. #MSWL
