a quick FYI for my #mswl:
i love retellings (fairytale, mythology, etc.) and am always happy to see them in my box!
HOWEVER, i *do not* like super obvious retellings. they HAVE to be subtle for me to like them - think ACOTAR and ACOMAF, CINDER, or FOR THE WOLF

But right now I would especially love to see:- anything set on an HBCU campus
- all of the magical realism
- mythological retellings
- romance/love stories (deep and profound and HARD or light and feel good)
- all the millennial joy and adulting hardships
Y'all I got to talk with @rebroddreads today and she is amazing. Definitely send her your stuff (so then she can sell it to me and we can all work together).
And I want everything in this list #MSWL

#MSWL In YA: Ever on the hunt for my light-hearted Jewish rom-com. Particularly interested in the trend toward more traditional mysteries (see TRULY DEVIOUS, GOOD GIRLS, ACE OF SPADES) with a strong investigative drive. Always have room for smart, high-concept contemp retellings.

Gender-flipped contemporary Cinderella retelling, except I want โCinโ to be damaged, the bad boy, who needs rescuing in true enemies-to-lovers fashion by his โprincess.โ Make him sympathetic & redeemable at first. Make us only really like him as the plot develops. #MSWL

โDid you elevate the Jane Austen retelling? Plots with new twists, takes, and contemporary relevance are the stories I want to see.โ @readbystephanie #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

Mainlined all of Lupin last night & this afternoon, and it is SO EXTREMELY MY SHIT! A kind-of retelling where the source material exists in-universe and the characters are consciously riffing on it? Meta af, sign me up. Also an eternal #mswl

5) Savvy, inventive retellings, from Baba Yaga to the Thousand and One Nights to Oscar Wilde, and beyond

Literary or fairytale #retellings โ but they have to really stand out and bring something new. Bonus for more under-the-radar or lesser-told tales or mashups. #MSWL

And honestly, you all, Iโm DYING for the next retelling of ALICEโS ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, so just keep that in mind.
